Eric was patient and very professional when working with me, an inexperienced author. My transcript needed more work than he had guessed but he took it all in stride, meticulously checking my references and providing much needed guidance. I am forever grateful to have found him.

Working with Erin has been an absolute joy. She is a truly great professional — thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly thorough. Her editorial feedback on The Brayhill Chronicles was clear, constructive, and full of care. Erin managed to highlight exactly what needed refining while keeping my confidence in the story intact. She gave me more than one real lightbulb moment — those “of course!” insights that instantly make everything click. What I appreciated most was her ability to point out th...

James is a master of his craft and so easy to work with. What I loved most about James was he brought some fantastic ideas for me to go through and see which I ultimately loved and said let's go with it because it's unique and will stand out. I absolutely have nothing bad to say about James as he was friendly, on schedule and always brought ideas which made it easy for me to make decisions vice trying to guide him to design something that I'm not qualified to do. Will I work with him aga...

As a first-time author, I wasn't even really sure what I needed. A proofreader? A content editor? Joy has guided me from the very beginning, offering invaluable information and feedback, sharing her own experiences with the industry, too. It's been a wonderful experience and I am so happy I found Joy.

Danielle was wonderful to work with! Her edit letter and in-document comments were extremely thorough and helpful, and her feedback was delivered in such a kind, professional and gentle manner. Danielle's unbiased/neutral perspective was exactly what I needed to refine my manuscript. Thanks Danielle!

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.

Dora has produced eleven drawings all of excellent quality making sense of my script and often working without one. Her drawings bring life to my script and add meaning, Dora always worked in a cooperative friendly manner and was always amenable to any changes or alterations I asked for. I would certainly ask her to work for me again and would recommend her to anyone.

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...

Michael was an absolute pleasure to work with! His responses were always timely and constructive. Working with me through different formatting and grammatical styles and going into in-depth explanations for each. As a new author, this was my first time having my book professionally edited and I was super nervous. However, Michael was extremely patient with me. His attention to detail is excellent and he did an amazing job going through my manuscript. It was a pleasure working with him and I w...

Very attentive and thorough. Will use again 🖤

With Jennifer, I was given insights from a professional point of view and from a reader's point of view, which allows me to understand, from a 360-degree view, what the book feels like for those who discover it. On the editing side, Jennifer was thorough and improved the flow of the text, in perfect compliance to English rules. An explanatory comment, which made it easy to choose to keep it or not always met any significant change. Reading Blue Butterfly after her work felt harmonious, an...

I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Phillip Dannels on my book cover! I was initially drawn to Phillip’s art style and the quality of work in his portfolio, especially his previous book covers. From start to finish, he was a great and responsive communicator and truly a wonderful collaborator. What really set Phillip apart was the way he worked specific details from my story into the different layers of the cover, making the artwork feel deeply connected to my book. Every ti...

Claudie possesses a rare artistic talent that goes far beyond technical skill—she has the ability to truly capture the essence of a story through her art. Her illustrations don’t just complement the narrative; they elevate it, breathing life into characters and settings with a depth that resonates with readers of all ages. What makes Claudie an even greater asset is her collaborative spirit. She approaches every project with openness and respect, genuinely listening to feedback while also br...

I have worked before with Reedsy editors on a different writing project. Their editors have always been excellent professionals. However, Frances went above and beyond. She is a superb editor not only because of her excellent editing skills but for the manner in which she provides feedback to the writer. Her feedback is specific, timely, and constructive. Her ideas for improvement build upon the writing and the intent behind the writer’s story. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with a...

She is absolutely phenomenal. From the very beginning, she approached my manuscript with incredible care and attention to detail, making sure that every single comment was clear, easy to understand, and directly relevant to my work. She didn’t just mark things for the sake of editing—she provided thoughtful, well-explained notes that reflected what she truly thought, showing that she took the time to engage deeply with my writing. Her feedback was concise yet thorough, never overwhelming, and...
