Megan did an excellent job of editing my manuscript. I had no idea what the experience would be like, as this was my first time to use this service. Wow, she did an amazing job. I had a couple of questions for her within the edit and she answered my concern with full explanation. She had a question for me in the first edit and made an appropriate modification with my additional information. So easy! I highly recommend her to others. I love this editing program. It was very easy to figure out ...

Was very helpful in bringing my story to life even though it was a mess she did a really good job in helping me to sort it out. Will be working with her again to further develop my story c:

Working with Cassandra has been an utter delight! The copy edit I've just received from her is phenomenal - far exceeding my expectations. She's a very talented editor and a true professional who has a great work ethic. Not only does she deliver work on time but she's so insightful and that's reflected in her brilliant work. Yes, I'm gushing, but she's fabulous! Not only can she pick up grammatical errors, but she has this expert eye that spots when something isn't working well within a plot....

If you are reading this review because, like me a few months ago, you are dipping your toes into getting professional help with your book, then all I can say is DO IT! I read through all of Mark’s reviews, and I knew he was the type of editor I wanted and needed. From the moment I made contact, I felt at ease. He is enthusiastic and genuine, but he doesn’t sugar-coat either. The thing I found with Mark is that he really understands the journey. I do not know the writing world, and I was hone...

Scott did a wonderful job copy editing my novel Resurrection Earth. He was very thorough, explained his edits when appropriate, and offered some helpful developmental suggestions. I will continue to use Scott in the future.

I have been a professional freelance writer for more than 30 years, so I have high expectations. I understand how to win business and deliver results. Cindy provided A++ service. She was professional and responsive, met the deadlines (delivering early in one instance) and I valued her input and corrections. I also appreciated that she sent a preliminary edit on my 2K word quote submission (without me asking for it) so I could get a sense of how she'd approach the job. No one else was willing ...

Adrienne’s knowledge and background in Young Adult fiction provided me with so much valuable feedback. She delivered her notes on time, and her notes were thorough and detailed—honest, constructive, and never sugar-coated, which I really appreciated. As an introvert, I often find online interactions a bit overwhelming, but Adrienne’s approach put me at ease right away. She was professional yet approachable, and never pushy. I would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to an...

Working with Laura was an excellent experience. She demonstrated a keen eye, great sensitivity, and strong technical mastery. I wholeheartedly recommend her work.

I am new to writing and the whole editorial process. Kellyn was very helpful and understanding. She was happy to do a basic read through of the manuscript and then work with me honestly on where the manuscript sits in terms of publishing and what I'll need to do in order to get it to that stage. I would highly recommend her for any part of the editing process.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional work you've done on my thriller manuscript. Your editorial expertise has transformed what I thought was a complete story into something far more compelling and polished. From the very first page, your insights revealed layers I hadn't even realized were missing. It was like watching a master craftsperson at work. Your character development notes were particularly invaluable. Editorial artistry at work! The structura...

James has been incredible to work with. He is exceptionally talented, thoughtful, and easy to collaborate with. He made the experience of bringing my book to life both enjoyable and seamless, guiding me through every step of the process. His creative ideas exceeded my expectations, and he truly understood my vision and brought it to life with care and precision. I highly recommend James to any author looking for an illustrator who is both gifted and deeply supportive throughout the creative j...

Robin provided an exceptional directional edit/review of my story. Her insights were on point and very useful. She broke out her comments in an easy-to-understand format that touched on every area of concern and provided examples of my work versus alternatives. Critically, she provided input on character POVs, which I really hadn't even considered. She also provided a recap/action plan for me to follow. Very well done. I will definitely use Robin again on future projects.

Larissa gave me excellent feedback in her developmental edit, providing ideas that are valuable and actionable. She was truly excited to work with me and saw the vision of my book. She understood my characters and fundamentally respected my ideas, while still challenging me and pushing for higher quality. She offers a round of questions after the edit via Reedsy, which I’m putting together now and I can’t wait to hear what else she has to say. I deeply recommend working with her. I’m definite...

Angela is an amazing coach! She was there with me all the way and has provided some of the best advice I’ve received to date. I’m so glad I found her here, she’s worth every penny. 10/10. I would absolutely hire her again.

Milica did an incredible job of interpreting what I wanted, and gently guiding me on good design. She was easy to work with, very responsive and met every deadline and delivered exactly what she said she would. I could not be happier with the outcome, a beautiful book cover that is already grabbing attention on social media, and a beautifully presented interior. I would not hesitate to work with Milica again, and highly recommend her.
