Writing a query letter was 10x harder for me that writing a book. I'm sure I didn't feel that way when I was writing my book, but on the other side of it, nailing a terrific query letter seemed to take me forever. I finally got it to a place where I was confident it was good, but not great. Something was missing, Jesse helped me take it over the top. He listened to what I felt was missing, asked questions to get further context, offered suggestions based on his experienced and helped explain ...

Working with Ellie has been an excellent experience. At the beginning, I thought I was simply hiring someone to build a website. As the project developed, I realized she was doing much more than that. She was helping transform my vision into reality. She took the time to understand what I was trying to build and brought professionalism, creativity, patience, and genuine care throughout the process. She helped shape the website and the digital presence surrounding my book, and I am extremely ...

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

Bryn was a joy to work with, professional, smart, insightful and very experienced. She helped push my project to the next level. And I look forward to working with her again. Five Stars!

Working with Molly has been such a wonderful experience. Because this memoir is so deeply personal to me, trusting someone else with my story felt like a big step. From the very beginning, she handled my words with such care, thoughtfulness, and respect. She understood what I was trying to say, honored my voice, and offered guidance that made my manuscript stronger without ever making it feel less like mine. I came away from this experience feeling encouraged, confident, and even more excite...

I had a picture book I have been working on for some time. I have had recent interest from editors but asking for changes in the ending which I struggled with. Julie offered wonderful revision suggestions that I think will make this project desirable for acquisition.

Dear Jesse, Thank you for your vision. You single-handedly transformed my good query letter to an irresistible one. You needled away at my synopsis and brought it to life (I felt emotional reading the synopsis, THE SYNOPSIS!). Folks, don't look any further. Jesse is new here to the Reedsy platform but has decades of high-end, professional editing experience. Hire him. Now. A sincere thank you, Alex Eliscu

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 Maria was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Her editorial feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and highly actionable. She challenged me to strengthen my manuscript while always respecting my voice and the heart behind the project. Her recommendations helped me deepen key sections, improve organization, and create a more meaningful experience for readers. What impressed me most was her ability to balance professionalism with encouragement. She identified areas for i...

Erin was the first professional editor I've worked with. Only started writing about 1 year ago, coming from a completely different long-term career, so had no experience and have had to crash course every angle of this whole writing thing. Erin met and exceeded my expectations. She was professional in every sense of the word, and I do work in another professional environment that isn't writing, so I have a reasonable expectation of what to expect when the word 'professional' is used. S...

Look no further! Blair is the real deal! As a first-time author, I could not have asked for a more supportive and trustworthy editor. Blair exceeded my expectations in every area and gave me greater confidence in my manuscript. Working with Blair on my first book was an incredible blessing. She truly felt like an angel God placed in my path. From the beginning, Blair was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in my manuscript. She approached the deeply personal an...

Working with Melissa B. was an absolute joy. She helped me with both the developmental edit and copy edit of my story, and the difference in the final result is incredible. My story is so much stronger, clearer, and more polished because of her thoughtful guidance and careful attention to detail. Melissa is quick, efficient, and so much fun to work with. She made the editing process feel encouraging and collaborative, and I always felt like my story was in excellent hands. I would recommend ...

My choice of Melissa for my Developmental Editor could not have been more perfect for my debut novel! I am so impressed by her ability to understand the concept of the story but to also "hear" my voice and then apply what she understands to the editing. I am totally in line with her suggestions and am having a good time expanding the story to include them. I think it will be a much better "read" with these revisions. She has been a tremendous asset to my project and I look forward to the poss...

Kateryna and I have just begun our project but she is a great fit and I am thrilled to have her be my illustrator!!!

Working with Marian was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. She is incredibly kind, patient, and responsive, and she made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. No question ever felt too small, and she was always happy to explain things and offer guidance. She truly understood my vision and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. She never hesitated to make changes or adjustments and was so thoughtful and collaborative throughout the process. I always felt heard a...
