Working with Stefanie was an absolute dream from start to finish. She is incredibly responsive, collaborative, and thoughtful in her approach, and brought so much creativity and originality to the project. What stood out most was her ability to take the vision and elevate it beyond what I had imagined, adding her own ideas in ways that made the story richer and more engaging. Every step of the process felt seamless, and her communication made it easy and enjoyable to work together. I’m genu...

I discovered Oksana when I watched the live Reedsy’s “Anatomy of a Great Scene” presentation on April 9, 2025. It was amazing and I highly recommend anyone interested in developmental editing for their project to check out the recording! When I first saw her, I immediately knew she was someone my project needed. Prior to that, I didn’t even know what a Developmental Editor or a scene was! And I was right: she was the perfect match for my project! In addition to being an amazing combinati...

Edyta is a talented artist and created a whimsical and wonderful illustration for a project I'm working on. Excited to work with her again!

She is a true professional and master of her craft. The project we worked on was very ambitious and Alexandra added huge value with a really fast turnaround.

Working with Shannon has been one of the greatest blessings in my writing journey. She has edited five of my books, and with each one, she proves again why she is absolutely indispensable. Her attention to detail is extraordinary—nothing slips past her. She catches the smallest inconsistencies, tightens the narrative, and ensures every word earns its place. Her skill in reorganizing timelines—dates, times, and sequences—is nothing short of amazing. Whenever I drift, she gently but firmly ste...

Dora could not have been better. Aside from being timely and thoughtful, her work captured not only the essence of the story but how I envisioned it. Absolutely first rate.

Katt is an extremely talented artist. I love the work he did for me and can't wait to see what he comes up with for the next book.

Steve's review of my novel provided me with the type of feedback and that it needed. A long-time project of mine, Flowers On Hai Ba Trung, finally got into the right hands. His report succinctly pointed out where the story faltered, and his suggestions on improvement were spot on. What particularly impressed me was his praise for elements of the manuscript that I had done well. I'm an agent, and I recommend authors send their manuscripts to Steve for a run-through before approaching an agent...

Cindy completed a manuscript assessment for me that included extensive marginal notes for a 200k word historical epic set in medieval Japan. It's hard to convey the complexity of the project, but it's a multi-POV, alternate history with a mystery running through it, laced with Japanese names and places. I mention this only to give some context to just how special Cindy's attention to detail is. She navigated this behemoth with an attention to detail that would have been impressive in a 50k wo...

Working with Michelle was one of the best decisions I made in bringing The Modern Grandparent to publication. I came to her with a book and a companion workbook that I had already revised many times on my own, along with a detailed style sheet full of rules that are not standard. Michelle honored every one of those choices. Her edits were careful and consistent across both manuscripts, which mattered to me because the workbook has to mirror the book chapter by chapter. She caught the kinds ...

Andreea has gone above and beyond in helping me produce my debut novel. Her effort in formatting the interior has blown me away - she helped me identify the most appropriate trim sizes for my print editions, created beautiful chapters that read easily, and produced a stunning eBook that flows well and has impressed ARC readers. I had some bespoke requirements for the book around rune-based chapter headings. Andreea put in a lot of research into the history of runes, produced a presentation ...

Aimee is an editing rockstar! She is thorough, timely, and a great communicator. Her edits are clear, easy to incorporate, and provide useful explanation when helpful. She's my dream editor. Highly recommend!

Working with Shannon was an absolute joy and worth every penny! She clearly spent so much time going through my draft, thinking about what could be improved and trying to understand what I was going for. At the point I started working with her, I was really struggling with my book. I felt passionate about it conceptually but it wasn't working and I was so lost. I gave her a too-short, very unfinished draft and she sent me back the most thoughtful editorial letter and edits. She was able to ...

Chandler did an exceptional job bringing this book to life. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, detail-oriented, and deeply respectful of the tone and structure I was aiming for. This was not a conventional manuscript, and she handled it with great sensitivity — especially in maintaining the balance between structure and spaciousness that the book required. She was also very patient and flexible throughout the process. There were a few delays on my end as we worked through publishi...

I congratulate myself for hiring Lisa to write an editorial assessment of my self-help manuscript for fellow people with disabilities. My interaction with her were professional and warm. As part of her recommendations, she confirmed some of my instincts about what might have to be reworked, and some new aspects that I couldn't see for having been so close to my work for a long time, This helped me decide that teaming up with an editor who has more distance from it, and all the writing and pub...
