Working with Mark Karis on Desire and Wonder was an extraordinary experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not a simple project. Desire and Wonder is a very large work—nearly 1,500 pages—which ultimately had to be presented as a three-volume series. From the beginning, Mark approached both the practical complexity of the project and the character of the work itself with remarkable intelligence, patience, care, and professionalism. What impressed me most was that Mark n...

I feel extremely fortunate to have come across David on the Reedsy site. I have been inspired, challenged, enlightened and encouraged by him when I really needed it. David has been fantastic in every way - both highly professional (on time for every call, reasonable deadlines that he always honors, clear notes and feedback) and also warm and personable. David has helped me think through and untangle numerous tricky areas of my manuscript, and offers solutions and insightful suggestions. ...

Lyndsay was AMAZING! As a first time author she did such a great job of explaining edits, ensuring clarity of my content and working to keep my voice and the impact of my message strong. She will be my go to editor should I decide to write another book.

Exceptional.

Working with Blair has been an excellent experience. As a first-time author I wasn’t sure what kind of editorial help my manuscript needed — Blair’s assessment answered that clearly and professionally. She genuinely engaged with the material, identified the real strengths of the manuscript, and gave honest actionable feedback without being discouraging. Her background in Christian publishing came through immediately — she understood the faith dimension of the book and respected its voice. I’m...

Jordan was excellent to work with, and often went over the top to deliver the highest quality work. His style is amazing, but more than that, he worked hard to understand my story and match the art with the book's genre and themes. We tweaked details and went through multiple examples almost every step along the way, and I had a lot of fun seeing the progress. Jordan has a real eye for detail and balance, providing a professional quality to the cover that is so impressive. Not only did Jordan...

If you're lucky enough to land Natalia, do not let go. This woman took my chaotic creative vision—illustrations, full book cover, and interior formatting—and somehow brought it to life better than I imagined. And I imagined a lot. She handled my avalanche of messages, nitpicky updates, last-minute “oh wait, one more thing” changes, and full-throttle perfectionism with the grace of a monk and the response time of a caffeinated coder. Not once did she complain. Not once did she roll her eyes (...

I want to begin this review with four Words: Tricia saved my manuscript. When I first wrote this manuscript - after personal attempts at editing, I initially sent it to QT. I got nothing but rejections. It made me sit back and ask myself, "Is there something wrong with this? What am I not seeing that they are seeing?" And as a writer, dealing with multiple literary agents, it's hard to understand what they are explicitly looking for unless you are already in the know. So, I after researchi...

Brooke is a highly professional and seasoned editor whose insight and sensitivity to a writer’s voice make the collaborative process both effective and deeply rewarding. She is remarkably flexible and adaptive, meeting the work exactly where it is while helping guide it toward greater clarity and strength. I am especially grateful for her help in shaping several titles for my fairy tales — titles that captured the essence of each story with a precision I had been searching for but could not ...

Robert truly went above and beyond for my project. He fixed up my grammar and punctuation, but also gave tons of general feedback in terms of storyline, plot, my characters, etc, which he did not need to do, but I really, really appreciated it. He gave me insight to new perspectives not just from an editor, but from a reader, as well. If you choose him for your project, you will not regret it.

Rebecca was a pleasure to work with. I truly appreciated the time she made for me and the thoughtfulness with which she approached my work. She made me consider many new directions to strengthen my manuscript, and that was exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely look to work with her again on future projects.

This is for first-time novelists. I consider myself very lucky to have found Emma. As a debut novelist with a wicked case of impostor syndrome, she turned out to be the perfect therapy: a brilliant editorial eye for what matters, sensitive to preserving your voice, always encouraging, but with an attention to detail you can count on. This review is something she hasn’t had a chance to edit, and I think we can all agree it has suffered as a result. People who write about impostor syndrome—or ...

Much can be said about Rachel and her professionalism, collaborations, and insights. But two simple words best describe her: she cares. Cares about her craft, her writers and authors, and the people around her. That's it. Plain and simple. She simply cares. You can feel it in everything she does and says, from her tweaks and edits, to her conversational mentorship, encouragements, and kindnesses. Yes, she simply and genuinely just cares. Period end.

This is my second time working with Eleanor and it won't be my last! Her attention to detail is fantastic, and she went the extra mile in confirming facts I'd referenced. This was the second book in a series and had some elements of magic, and I loved that she was on the lookout for consistency in the magic system and suggested clarifying certain details for the reader. I also really appreciate that when she suggests reworking a sentence, she frames it as a suggestion—not a must—recognizin...

Kate's the best. I more than recommend her as an editor - if your story needs help, I implore you to reach out to her. She is skilled, perceptive and thoughtful at every level of the collaboration. From big-picture structural insights to tiny inconsistencies others would miss, she's on it. Her feedback was consistently spot-on, insightful, and actionable, and I ended up incorporating a majority of her suggestions. She helped make the book stronger in ways I never anticipated. KAte was also...
