I absolutely loved working with Andrew on my project. His feedback, review, and suggestions were all dead on the things that I had not even noticed. He was concise. He had explained everything thoroughly giving me the bigger picture of why his suggestions and or feedback would improve a section or chapter in my novel. I highly recommend Andrew and his professionalism and hope to be able to use him again in my next project.

Working with Mark was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From our first conversation on Reedsy, he was professional, clear about his process, and very transparent about the value included in his design package. I came into the project with a strong direction for the cover and shared some sample mockups that captured about 70–80% of what I had in mind. Mark took that foundation and elevated it while also creating two completely original concepts. What truly impressed me was that ...

Tjaša was amazing to work with. She really understood my concept, was adaptive at making minor changes, and helped walk someone unfamiliar with the space (me) through the process.

Sharon delivered a developmental edit that transformed my manuscript before I even began the next round of revisions. Her feedback was thoughtful, precise, and deeply insightful. Honest and constructive, she pinpointed weaknesses with clarity and care, always in service of making the work stronger. She took the time to understand my vision and treated it with respect, offering guidance that elevated the manuscript without ever diminishing its heart. Her validation of my skill and creative di...

Exceptional design partner, world-class execution Sebastian Cudicio was an outstanding design partner throughout the full production journey of my book, Beyond Blame: A Human and Organizational Performance Approach to Incident Investigation, Learning, and Leadership. From the start, he demonstrated professionalism, clarity, and strong creative judgment, while remaining highly responsive to feedback and committed to achieving a premium final result. What stood out most: 1) Strong design thin...

Working with Jenny was one of the best decisions I made for my manuscript. She brought a rare combination of precision and warmth to my memoir — the kind of editor who clearly loves both language and the people behind it. She was meticulous without being heavy-handed, catching the kinds of details that are easy to overlook when you've been living inside your own story for years. Tense consistency was a particular area where she pushed me — gently but persistently — and honestly, I was a littl...

Louise did an excellent job. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to work with Bryn. Her edits and recommendations were on point and helped me achieve a level of polish on my manuscript I didn't think I would be able to reach. She was both thorough and speedy delivering more than I had expected in a short window of time. I will definitely be coming back to her for help on future projects. I can not say enough about what a pleasure she was to work with.

Sarah is the platonic ideal of an editor. As a writer, it can be difficult to navigate feedback while trying to stay true to your ~artistic vision~. The beauty of Sarah's editing work is that it is so in-depth you can just feel she is giving her all to trying to understand what the book is trying to do and being completely honest (in the kindest way) about what it needs to get there. You can also feel a big, beating heart at the center of her feedback: her love for books and good storytelling...

Seth was truly amazing to work with. He took the time to understand our project goals and what we wanted to accomplish. From the initial discussions and outlining to the completed book, Seth was collaborative, responsive, and delivered a high-quality children's book on time. I recommend collaborating with Seth on your project!

Lisa offers an incredible blend of big picture perspective and nuanced specifics that were incredibly helpful for me on this journey towards completing a final version of my first novel. One of her greatest strengths is being able to articulate possible areas for growth in a manuscript in a clear and thoughtful manner. Instead of vague feedback that is hard to implement, Lisa provides a guiding hand in shaping a work into its best version. It was lovely chatting with her during our debrief ti...

Working with Nina Bruhns was a fantastic learning experience from beginning to end, and one I would recommend without hesitation to any writer, but especially to debut authors finding their footing. As a first-time novelist, I wasn't entirely sure what professional editorial feedback would look like or how it would feel to receive it. Nina understood exactly where I was in the writing process and met me there with patience, insight, and genuine encouragement. She provided two invaluable doc...

This is my second collaboration with Clint, and it was just as easy and seamless as the first time. He again surpassed my expectations and created something that far exceeded what I had imagined for the project. I look forward to working with him again in the spring, and hopefully for many additional projects to come.

Felicty went above and beyond my expections. She's a great editor with a very keen eye for detail. She was direct, positive and professional.

Holly provided a developmental edit on my 68,000-word memoir. She delivered a thorough editorial letter plus over 100 inline comments, but what impressed me most was how deeply she engaged with the material. She didn't just fix things, she helped me understand what the book was actually about. Her structural feedback was specific and actionable: where to open, what to move, which characters needed more presence. She identified tense inconsistencies I'd been blind to and gave me grammar lesso...
