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

This is my third book cover now from Baris, and I continue to be amazed. I told Baris I wanted this cover to be the most bizarre of the series, and he came back with incredible concept art just days later. We even added on an interior illustration again, and it was painless. Always professional, always on time, fantastic to work with. My book covers get non-stop compliments, and for me they're a joy to look at too. Thanks again for all the work Baris. Hire him, trust me. It's worth it.

Sharing your work for critique and editing is a challenging step in the writing journey. You hope your editor likes your work, but you also need them to be comfortable and honest, so their guidance can truly help you improve. I did not just gain an editor with Steph, I gained a friend for life and a Literary Sherpa who held my hand through the whole process. She talked me off the ledge more times than she would probably like to admit, gave me a swift kick in the butt when I got down on my...

Working with Allan was one of the best decisions I made for my book. I came to him with a vision, a lot of ideas, and a manuscript that meant a great deal to me. He listened to what I was trying to accomplish and then took it in a creative direction beyond my expectations. He didn't just design the interior of Design Schooled - he elevated it. Allan is exceptionally talented, responsive, and always delivered on time. Throughout the process, I felt completely confident that my project was in...

Charlotte was professional, dedicated, and responsive. She went above and beyond and provided clear, actionable feedback while also being encouraging. I strongly recommend her.

I had the pleasure of working with Cathy Morrison on three of my children’s books, and I highly recommend her to any author looking for a talented and reliable illustrator. From the start, she demonstrated a strong ability to understand both the heart of the story and the visual tone I was hoping to achieve. Her illustration style is warm, engaging, and beautifully suited for children’s books, and she consistently brought my ideas to life in a way that felt even better than I had imagined. ...

Lauren has been a pleasure to work with so far. Her feedback on my dev edit was thorough, thoughtful, and actionable. I appreciate how she identified areas of improvement on a granular level, as well as thematically, for me to work on as a writer. It is a pleasure to have Lauren edit my manuscript, providing guidance for me through her extensive knowledge. She's incredibly easy to communicate with, open, and supportive. I look forward to continuing to work with her on this project and future ...

I approached Mrs. Ridley with a completed manuscript with no idea what to do with it. She took me by the hand and guided me through the whole process. Her professional editing and publishing know-how brought my dream to fruition. I am now a published author with books available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other platforms. I never considered myself an author until I saw the sales. I owe it all to Mrs. Ridley. And just so you know, I'm not done with her. I'm working on a second manusc...

I hired Zuza for the cover design, interior design, and illustrations for my book Moon Pause, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she took the time to truly understand the project, bringing her own valuable insights to the creative process rather than simply executing instructions. She was a genuine collaborator. My book would not be what it is without her talent and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Zuza to any author looking for a designer and illustrator who will bring...

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 ...

Hannah was great!! She knows story and loves talking story. She went above and beyond to make sure my script was solid.

I really enjoyed working with Jonathan on my book. He was professional, responsive, and very attentive throughout the process. He made thoughtful corrections and suggestions, and I felt that my work was in good hands. I’m very grateful for his help and would happily recommend him to others!

I sent my proposal to five editors on Reedsy. David was the only editor who suggested a free sample edit on the first couple of chapters. I can't imagine hiring an editor without first seeing how they edit, how they interact with my material and how they make suggestions. It showed immediately how serious and thorough an editor David is. I was won over straight away after reading David's comments and edits because he pointed things out that had never crossed my mind but which in fact were hug...

Molly edited my memoir across four sections, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She was punctual with every delivery and thorough in a way I hadn't experienced with previous editors — nothing was skimmed, every section came back with careful, considered edits and a clear covering note explaining her thinking. She challenged me in exactly the right way: pushing me to put more of myself into the story, questioning distinctions I'd made without noticing, and suggesting a structural chang...

I handed Daniel a manuscript and a whole lot of nervous energy. He handed back a beautifully formatted book — and, more importantly, a sense of calm I didn't expect. From day one, he provided FAQs and clear guidance that made the process transparent and approachable. His responsiveness and genuine support throughout the project turned what could have been a stressful first self-publishing experience into something I actually enjoyed. Highly recommend.
