Truly exceptional experience. Miriam gave me insightful, thorough, actionable advice and renewed enthusiasm for a project I'd considered abandoning. This was very good value for the money and honestly one of the better professional investments I've made.

I hired Staci for a developmental assessment of my memoir and was impressed by the thoughtfulness and depth of her feedback. She clearly took the time to engage with both the manuscript and the larger story I was trying to tell. The assessment was detailed, insightful, and at times difficult to read—which is exactly what I needed. Rather than offering vague encouragement, Staci identified weaknesses in structure, theme, and narrative focus while also highlighting the strengths of my writing....

She was very helpful, even gave me advice on my query letter. I highly recommend Melissa.

Fast. Thorough. Easy to work with. Great work.

Working with Nuno and Rui has been such a gift. Nuno has this rare ability to instantly “get it” — my vision, my tone, even the things I couldn’t always articulate — and turn it into design that feels exactly right. His creative eye is unmatched, but what made the process even better was his patience, professionalism, and care at every step. Rui’s typesetting work was equally thoughtful and precise, bringing the words to life on the page in a way that feels seamless and intentional. Together...

Kellyn was very thorough with my manuscript. She read through it and offered very thoughtful suggestions to bring certain parts to life for the reader. She was very responsive to my messages and checked in regularly. We also had a Zoom call to discuss the book, where I asked her questions and shared ideas, and she responded in real time. It was a great experience working with her, and I look forward to working with her again on future projects. I highly recommend her to any author who wants a...

This is my third book cover now from Baris, and I continue to be amazed. I told Baris I wanted this cover to be the most bizarre of the series, and he came back with incredible concept art just days later. We even added on an interior illustration again, and it was painless. Always professional, always on time, fantastic to work with. My book covers get non-stop compliments, and for me they're a joy to look at too. Thanks again for all the work Baris. Hire him, trust me. It's worth it.

Working with Lucy was truly wonderful. One of my biggest goals was to make the prose feel smooth, natural, and emotionally strong, especially since English isn’t my first language. She elevated the manuscript beyond what I had hoped for. Her explanations were always clear and spot-on, and her industry experience shines through in every note she gives. Lucy has an incredible eye for detail and continuity, catching subtle inconsistencies in the storyline that I would never have seen after so m...

Misha is a true professional and wonderful to work with. Her copyedits are extremely thorough, catching not only grammar and spelling errors but also inconsistencies, logical errors, and confusing prose. Her edits strengthened my work and inspired me to make adjustments and clarifications I otherwise would not have thought of. I highly recommend working with her and will do so again if I have the opportunity.

This was the most incredible experience ever for me. Florin was extremely professional and also kind, his work exceeded my expectations while aligning perfectly with my vision. He went above and beyond with my many different requests, and created something truly special, unique and beautiful. I sent many different references and explanations, and his work was exactly what I wanted, but with creativity and skill I couldn’t have imagined myself. It was my first time commissioning an artist ...

Tom was an excellent copy/line editor, thorough, professional, and highly responsive throughout the process. He combined sharp attention to detail with a clear understanding of tone and flow, improving both readability and precision without losing my voice. His feedback was constructive and actionable, and he delivered on time. I’d happily work with him again and recommend him to any author seeking a meticulous, reliable editor.

Truly, I cannot recommend Carol highly enough. Following a bad experience with an editor from another company, I was seriously considering giving up writing altogether. But, I thought I'd give it one more go, and decided on Reedsy. From the very outset, Carol was there pretty much 24/7. Positive, honest and practical, she gave me back my confidence and helped me to re-construct a manuscript which had been hacked to pieces by my previous editor. My confidence boosted and renewed, I was writ...

Megan was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, strong design judgment, and clear communication throughout the entire process. Deliverables were completed on time, exceeded expectations, and were thoughtfully executed across both cover and interior files. Her responsiveness and professionalism made the collaboration smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Megan to any author looking for high-quality, reliable design ...

Joy was amazing to work on. She gave me clear advice that's going to make my novel a lot better. She also completed the project early, and checked in with me multiple times during the process.

Jill is an amazing editor! Her skillset is exactly what I was looking for. She does what an editor is hired to do - edit. She knows how to keep the narrative flowing, and spots the inaccuracies. She cites confusing text and where more elaboration is needed. She is a master! Jill met every deadline and was very responsive, encouraging me every step of the way. She handed me a final polished manuscript I'm proud to put my name on. I highly recommend her!
