Meet the best editors in the industry

This was my first time writing a manuscript and my first time using Reedsy. After hours of research and looking at several editors to choose from, I selected Patty as my editor. I firmly believe that she was the best choice, offering copy editing and line editing as part of the package. Being that Patty is an award winning author and editor, I knew I would be in good hands with her all along the way, and this was the case. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, organized, creative, and rece...

From the day of inquiry, Elena was thorough and set expectations that she'd meet. She actually exceeded my expectations! I learned a lot about writing a book from the edits that she made, and I would definitely collaborate with her on a new project!

As a first time author, Dr. Janan Sarwar's coaching through the self-publishing journey was incredibly valuable. She took me from not knowing where to start, through all the granular details to accomplish my big picture goal. At times when I got discouraged, she was encouraging and reminded me of the value of the content that we were getting published into the world, and the long-term benefits of being a published author. That counsel kept me on track. When we encountered questions that we...

I'm the queen of the typos, have a problem with ....s and ,s, and Jennifer had all the right answers in her red pen. She was easy to work with and responsive. I couldn't be happier with her work product and her work ethic. I enjoyed working with her from my nervously handing over my book to her handing it back with clear, focused edits.

Beth handled the copyediting and proofreading of my book, The Chemically Castrated Generation — a dense, science-heavy medical title with a large number of embedded data infographics. From our first exchange through the final pass, she was professional, responsive, and consistently on time. Communication was easy and reliable, which matters enormously when you're working against a publication deadline. What set Beth apart was her genuine engagement with the material. This is a technical medi...

I hired Paul to copyedit a 76,000-word literary memoir. He returned about 7,000 tracked changes and a separate document of fifteen substantive queries, and the second document is what earned this review. The process alone is worth knowing about. He locks the file for version control so the author never has to accept or reject anything — he handles that on his end, which saved me days of tedium. He pulls the judgment calls out of the redlining into their own list, quoting each passage above t...

Working with Maria D’Marco was an absolute gift. From the start, she stepped into the project not just as a developmental editor, but as a true creative partner. She invested herself fully, diving deep into the historical and emotional layers of the novel, and consistently offered insight that was both sharp and deeply empathetic. At a critical point in the process, Maria gently but clearly identified a flaw in the adversary’s character arc that I had struggled with for months. Her guidance ...

The professional experience of editing my first narrative non-fiction manuscript was very enjoyable and successful. After an initial video chat to get to know each other, the work began with clear deadlines and progress payments established. Although at first I was naturally concerned about how the process would unfold, I was quickly reassured by Shaun's competence and willingness to both discuss and listen to all my input. It was truly a collaborative process and the outcome has been a tight...

I will use Kieron's services again without hesitation.

Mozelle was able to take my ramblings and give me the insight and ideas I needed to create a coherent story. Her work was well beyond my expectations. The developmental edit was amazing. She was prompt and responsive to all my needs and everything was done in a timely fashion. Her thoughtfulness was evident in each correspondence/interaction we had. I will continue to utilize her services in my future works and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and thoughtful editor.

Amanda was great to work with! She was very communicative (even when I wasn't) and was able to work with my restraints and budget. At the end she gave a great assessment and response to my work which just makes me feel like this whole thing is worth it. But she was great overall and I would definitely recommend her to my writing friends.

I am not a writer and have no experience with writing at this level. So I wasn't sure what to expect. I picked Justin because of his reviews and the thought he put into his response to my inquiry. I was 100% right. I wrote a lengthy explanation of what I was wanting to see and when I received my manuscript back, he incorporated all of those things and more. He really helped me put my memoir into perspective and I will absolutely be returning for a re-read. I would highly recommend Justin to a...

Jaime was extremely helpful, very professional and got the work done in the required time. I loved working with her, and it was really great experience to having my first editor ever look at something I wrote. She was very prompt, very nice and I seemed like we clicked from the start which was nice, it was like talking with a friend! She also has helped fine tune my manuscript and point out things I did not notice before which has helped my book become even better!

Laura exceeded my expectations, and, if she'll have me, I hope to continue working with her over the next few months. Her industry experience and skills will definitely help me navigate the picture book landscape and enable me to write better structured books, and better stories. In addition, she has a wonderful way about her and is lovely to communicate with! 10/10

Claire is a writer's dream editor and proofreader. Her thorough attention to detail and responsiveness are reassuring for new authors like myself who value an expert's guidance and support. She also clearly read every word for meaning and clarity in addition to providing thoughtful comments and questions. I would work with her again without hesitation!
