Where beautiful
books
are made

Louise exceeded my expectations in every way. It has been a delight working with her and we have several more projects we are doing together. First, her design skills are excellent, everything was beautiful, achieved the communication objectives, and technically precise. Secondly, she is responsive and fast-open to suggestions-and offers ideas. I feel completely supported in this project and am very impressed with the finished project. On time, on budget, excellent quality.

I’m a new author, and I came to Jennifer with a 170,000-word manuscript. I knew it was too long, and honestly, I had written it more for myself than for anyone else. Before I went any further with it, I wanted an independent and honest perspective from someone who wasn’t just going to tell me what I wanted to hear. What I really wanted to know was: Is there actually a book here that someone else would want to read? Jennifer gave me exactly what I was looking for. Her developmental letter was...

Erin delivered beyond what I expected out of our engagement on so many levels. Firstly, she instantly recognized what I was trying to achieve with a very complex story structure. Then, she offered me a call to really understand my goals with my project, and later guided me on the kind of engagement needed to achieve my goals. When she delivered the outcome of our engagement, it was clear that she'd really immersed herself into the work, arming herself by (re)reading the works of masters whose...

Debbie is amazing. After working with her, I now feel confident I can present my manuscript to a literary agent or publisher. She worked hard, clearly showing me how mistakes could be rectified and giving praise where it was due. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone seeking a developmental editor. You will learn a lot. She is personable and very easy to work with. At no time did I feel pressured, and she understood my current eye problems while I await surgery. Do not hesitate to work ...

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...

Working with Alana was nothing short of Amazing. This was my first book project, and Alana was patient and kind. She accepted all feedback and suggestions and quickly answered my questions. I was very satisfied with the final product. I would 100% recommend collaborating with Alana on your next project.

Where can I begin? Conni has helped me truly transform my writing and my book. When we began collaborating, I had about 3 chapters written and the structure figured out, but once I started working with Conni, my book was elevated. She helped me (and pushed me because I was a bit unsure) to create more structure and predictability to the book and chapters. I went from "I don't want to spoon-feed my readers" to thinking "well I do have to explain it because they can't read my mind." The structu...

I worked with different kinds of editors over the years. Music editors, cinematic editors, narrative editors — they all asked for a very precise labor: take a creation and elevate it in a way the author alone cannot. Sharpen the creator's voice and tighten the structure so the message is delivered clearly. Alexandra is gifted with both rigour, analytical view and deep human observation. She is generous and rigorous — a gift for any author who wants to enhance their creation.

Mickey was exceptional! She took the concepts in my book and created a cover that speaks for itself. The joy, whimsy, and message come through clearly and are simply fun to look at. She was a fabulous collaborator and stayed with me as we honed the final concept to make the details truly shine. I will hire her again in a heartbeat! She is a gem.

Susan is the consummate professional; she communicates well, seeks to understand the author's intent and is an excellent editor. She has the rare ability to simplify and translate technical concepts, making them more accessible to readers. Highly recommended.

Working with Michael was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He approached my manuscript with balance of technical precision and genuine care for the story being told. What stood out most was his ability to engage deeply with the intent of the work, not just the mechanics. His editorial feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and respectful. Michael’s communication was clear, encouraging and professional throughout the process. He didn’t just edit the book, he collaborated with it. As...

I cannot sing enough praise about Irene. Her designs were pitch-perfect from the start—in fact, I am using every concept she presented. Most importantly, she is not an ego-driven designer. I wanted to adjust several small elements in the original design, and instead of resisting the changes, she immediately understood how they supported the feeling and tone I wanted for The Love You Bring. She embraced the collaboration and refined the work beautifully. She was also a joy to work with, whic...

This was my first experience working with an editor. Until then, writing had always been a private pursuit, something I did quietly, for myself. After a few self-publishing efforts, I finally had a project I believed in deeply, one I hoped could reach a much wider audience. Kara’s feedback was so detailed and thorough that it felt like someone had flipped a light switch. Suddenly, I saw my work with fresh eyes. She didn’t just understand my voice and vision. She tuned into the places I had t...

This was my first project through Reedsy, so I was curious to see how it all worked. I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t sure what I wanted my book cover to look like, but after a short chat with Andrea, it all clicked. She understood exactly what I had in mind and brought our ideas to life in the design. I’m very pleased with the final cover. I’d definitely recommend Andrea, and I hope to work with her again.

Rozi completed an absolutely wonderful edit of Chapter One of my manuscript. She delivered an exceptional marked-up copy with a highly detailed dev-report. Her insights were profound and really helped to sharpen my voice and tighten my pacing/tension. Her edits were thoughtful, encouraging and highly detailed, and it gave me so much to work with, whilst still maintaining my own voice and narrative-intent. We are now moving onto completing a developmental edit of my entire manuscript. I can ...
