Working with Jennifer (Donovan) has been an absolute gift. She is thorough, kind, and consistently meets her deadlines, which makes the entire editing process stress-free. What I appreciate most is that she never makes you feel inadequate—instead, she encourages and uplifts you while guiding your story to its best possible form. She doesn’t change your manuscript; she enhances it, drawing out your voice and vision rather than replacing it with her own. Every suggestion feels thoughtful and in...

I feel very grateful to have been able to work with someone as experienced as Kathy. She brings deep professional insight across all levels of the writing process, and has the ability to really laser in on the story, its issues, and the potential resolutions. In short, the feedback she gave me has catapulted my project forward so that I feel much more in the drivers seat of my story, and my writing. I am chomping at the bit to continue implementing her editorial suggestions. And in case you ...

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:

My experience with Scott exceeded every expectation. After implementing his edits, I submitted my manuscript to literary agents, and several requested the full manuscript. I highly recommend his editing services and would gladly work with him again.

Heather is truly a manuscript Goddess. She's been elevating novels for a long time and it shows in her work. Her natural insight for character development and story trajectory is on point. She provides a chapter by chapter analysis that you can use as a guide to your manuscript. It was extremely helpful to know exactly which chapters heighten the novel and what's missing/needed from other chapters. My manuscript will take a huge leap forward because of her talent and grace. Thank you to Reeds...

My experience with Evan far exceeded my expectations. His technical skills, combined with his creativity and ability to truly "partner" on my book were absolutely refreshing, and surprising to me. He completed all tasks, including some late text revisions on my part, well ahead of schedule. I already have the finished book in hand, and it looks great! I would absolutely recommend Evan to anyone seeking these services, and I look forward to collaborating again on any of my future projects.

It was fantastic working with Nicola. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and professionalism of the editing work. She demonstrated a strong understanding of the content and offered thoughtful suggestions. This genuinely enhanced the clarity and flow. Communication throughout was timely and smooth. Nicola provided clear explanations and changes. I would highly recommend Nicola's services and would definitely use her services again if needed. Nicola is skilled, reliable and very frie...

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...

Working with Hannah has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my book! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, thorough, and deeply invested in both the story and my growth as a writer. Her editorial letter was incredibly insightful and pushed me in all the right ways. She has a rare ability to see the heart of a story, identify what’s already working, and then clearly articulate how to strengthen it without ever making you feel discouraged or overwhelmed. Her line edits were de...

My writing style is bold, explicit, and twisted, so it can be a challenge to find collaborators who understand and appreciate that. I queried a handful of editors on Reedsy with a sample that included a spicy sex scene. I figured if they could handle that, they could handle everything else in the book. Sure enough, Meredith A. responded quickly and favorably to my sample, and was available and eager to start the copy edit immediately. The cost was fair, and the one-month timeline was reasonab...

Working with Robert was an intensive and ultimately rewarding experience. His proofreading pass was meticulous and detail-oriented, and he did not hesitate to challenge areas that could be clearer, tighter, or more precise. Going through his edits was more demanding than I initially expected, but the results speak for themselves. Even though the manuscript was already in strong shape, Robert found meaningful opportunities to refine it further. The book is now significantly stronger, cleaner,...

Dermott was extremely responsive and helpful. This was my first book and I was short of time and experience and the guidance Dermott gave has been invaluable. His developmental edits & comments & suggestions were used by me in the final edits and I would recommend him highly. Crispian

This is my fourth project working with Lucia, and I can attest to the absolute professionalism of both her editing and proofreading. Thorough, timely, detailed, consistent, constructive and encouraging ... she's everything you want in an editor/proofreader. Highly recommend!

Flawless work. Exceptional understanding. Grasped the message of my work and said it better than I could. Nothing but praise. This one is a keeper.

Working with Eva has been outstanding. Her feedback is precise, insightful, and always grounded in a deeply invested and intelligent understanding of the manuscript. She brings clarity to structure, tone, and theme, and her guidance has consistently elevated my work. Professional, reliable, and genuinely inspiring—an excellent editor of very high caliber, and craft. I highly recommend.
