I hired Rebecca Goldsmith to proofread my first book, and I could not have made a better choice. Rebecca's skills were impeccable, but what impressed me most was everything she did beyond what I hired her to do. As a first-time author, there were many things about the publishing process I simply didn't know. Rebecca took a genuine personal interest in both me and my book, spending extra time answering questions, offering guidance, and making sure I understood what I needed to do next. She w...

Working with Daniel was one of the best decisions I made during the production of my book. He went far beyond what I initially expected from a formatter and became an important creative partner in bringing the final book to life. The interior of the book turned out beautifully, and much of that is the result of Daniel’s exceptional eye for design. He selected a theme and visual direction that perfectly complemented the story and gave the book the polished, professional appearance I was hopin...

Liz is in a class by herself. It didn't hurt that we are, kind of, the same age (I'm older) and have a very simpatico writing style and approach to marketing, which is to say to not call it that since it seems to cheapen that big hunk of your soul that you laid out for all to judge. You are just seeking ways to amplify your voice and the heart of your book. She gave me SO MANY tools to do that, ones that I had no idea existed. She steered me away from big wastes of money on ads and other thi...

Exceptional talent, impeccable professionalism, and a truly wonderful person to work with. Louise took my book from manuscript to masterpiece with remarkable attention to detail and artistic excellence. She consistently went above and beyond, delivering outstanding work on time while making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Her creativity, dedication, and kindness made a lasting impression on me. Without hesitation, I can say that Louise exceeded every expectation. She is a rare gem ...

Working with Kelly was an excellent experience. Their feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and deeply constructive. I really appreciated how respectful and collaborative their approach was, including thoughtful responses to additional questions I had. Their report was comprehensive and full of ideas I could immediately apply, and I came away from the process feeling more confident and inspired about the next draft. I highly recommend Kelly to any writer looking for a perceptive, professional...

I can't say enough good things about working with Collette. She took the vision for my very first book Be Good to Yourself — a 100-day guided journal rooted in the dahlia as a symbol of blooming and radical self-compassion — and brought it to life more beautifully than I imagined. The color palette, the delicate line-art florals, the way she color-coded each phase of the journal with its own subtle tab system... every detail feels intentional and elevated. She has a genuine gift for translati...

John is an excellent editor with a sharp eye for detail and structure. He approached my manuscript with care, clarity, and genuine professional insight. His line edits were precise, his comments were thoughtful, and he consistently elevated the quality of my writing without ever diluting my voice. Communication was smooth throughout the collaboration, deadlines were honoured, and he provided more value than promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Wow. I highly recommend Lee. I've just finished working with him on my first book. He's top notch. Very creative, professional, highly skilled, talented, positive, helpful, and encouraging too. I really enjoyed the process of working with him. He went above and beyond giving me helpful tips since he's published some books himself, and he patiently worked with me as I try to fit publishing my first book; Capacity, Escape Your Invisible Limits, into my busy life. The cover that Lee designed is ...

Kate was such a huge help, advising me on my advertising strategy for my book, recommending improvements to my Amazon campaigns, and setting up Facebook ads. The Facebook ads she set up made an instant difference, driving the book to the Amazon bestseller list for its category and leading to exponentially more sales and Kindle page reads. SO, she not only brought results, but she educated me on what works and what doesn't. I highly recommend Kate for advertising and book marketing strategy.

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...

I was very grateful to find Pamela who provided efficient, quality translation for my fiction book from English to German. She understood the quirk of my writing and was able to provide parallel meanings that didn't interfere with the impact of the storyline. I look forward to working with her again for other short stories collections.

Working with Diletta has been an absolute dream. From the very beginning, her enthusiasm for creating was infectious. You can feel how much she genuinely cares about every project she takes on. Communication was consistent and easy, and she always made sure my ideas were understood and thoughtfully executed. What stood out most to me was her passion and attention to detail. She approaches her work with both artistry and professionalism, and it shows in the quality of the final design. You ca...

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...

An excellent job as always. Anybody can be a graphic designer. Even I managed it to a reasonable standard. To be a book cover designer however is something entirely different, and Megan just 'gets' what my books are about. The covers achieve that difficult job of standing out, yet looking at home amongst other books of their type. The proof of the pudding is other writers seeing my book covers and passing compliments about how good they are.

Shanika delivered as promised and open my eyes with great suggestions which I have implemented. Her pricing was very fair for the scope of work I requested. I would use her again. Also, I had been using Fiverr in the past and not 100% happy with all of the representatives there. It was very hit or miss.
