Dakota brings an editor’s precision and a poet’s ear to every line. What sets her apart is her relentless focus on line craft—enjambments, indentations, and rhythm aren’t just technical matters for her; they’re the pulse of the poem. She has a gift for spotting where a break loses torque, where a stanza can carry more weight, or where a single word could unlock the music of the whole piece. Her feedback is uncompromising in the best way: every line must stand alone as art, every stanza must ...

Working with Claire has been an incredible experience. She brought such care, insight, and attention to detail to my manuscript, and her feedback was both constructive and encouraging. Claire has a real gift for helping an author bring out the best in their work while ensuring clarity, flow, and consistency. Her communication was always clear and timely, and she went above and beyond to make sure the editing process felt smooth and collaborative. I felt fully supported every step of the way,...

I have worked before with Reedsy editors on a different writing project. Their editors have always been excellent professionals. However, Frances went above and beyond. She is a superb editor not only because of her excellent editing skills but for the manner in which she provides feedback to the writer. Her feedback is specific, timely, and constructive. Her ideas for improvement build upon the writing and the intent behind the writer’s story. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with a...

I cannot thank David enough for his editing and ghost writing skills. I truly believe he turned my memoir into a cinematic masterpiece in such a short amount of time.

What a great experience this was! As a first-time author, it far exceeded my expectations. I didn’t know what to expect, or just how much her guidance would elevate my manuscript. She led me through the process with kindness and skill—not only helping improve the book itself, but helping me grow as a writer. She genuinely cared about both my story and my success as an author. Highly recommended.

Louise is pure gold. She found things I never would have seen—backwards apostrophes, others that lost their curl (how does that even happen?), missing commas, even a graphic or two. When you've read your own book so many times your eyes are starting to cross, and you're weighing whether you even need a proofreader—because surely, it must be perfect by now—call Louise. She really is the last set of eyes needed in the publishing process.

Working with Abbie Greaes has been nothing short of transformative. If you’re serious about elevating your manuscript — not just polishing it, but truly levelling up as a writer — Abbie is an exceptional partner in that process. Her editorial report and in-line manuscript notes didn’t just highlight areas for improvement — they fundamentally shifted how I think about story, character, and craft. The depth of her insight is extraordinary, but what truly sets Abbie apart is how she delivers it...

Christy did amazing work on our manuscript. Her copy line edit brought the story to life in ways we never imagined. There were scenes where we struggled to find the right words or convey the right emotion to readers, and Christy immediately understood what we were aiming for — then elevated it even further. She has an incredible talent for capturing intent and turning it into something powerful and clear. Truly tremendous work — we are beyond grateful for her skill and dedication.

Annemarie was amazing for both the cover design and the formatting, working hard and always being available with all my questions and requests. I can't recommend her more highly, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

Fast. Thorough. Easy to work with. Great work.

I enjoyed meeting Adam and working with him on my PB. He provided resources in his initial assessment, provided justification where he has questions and he didn't make assumptions on the characters. We had a virtual meeting and I was able to provide the answers and context regarding my characters and where my story could go. Adam left me with realistic hope that my story could be further explored to become an essential, relatable tale that would be enjoyed by many audiences.

Sofie is a truly exceptional artist. She has created my book cover (KDP and IS) and formatted the manuscript of my debut novel to a very high standard. Luckily for me she's an expert at guiding novices through the whole process, and she handled all my daft questions with professionalism, whilst also being friendly and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble and I can't thank her enough. Regarding her talent - wow! She's a bundle of creative energy who has so many ideas, all of which ar...

First of all, I have never done one of these before, and this was a completely new experience for me. I am a first time aspiring author, trying to tell my story to the best of my ability. I had originally had 5 offers, and as they fell off one at a time due to certain constraints on different editors, Larry, at first had declined the project. At second glance he decided to help me, because he had told me in his own words over a zoom call, that the words had moved him in a way that he hadn't f...

Conni is, to put it simply, incredible. She is professional, communicates timely and meets/beats project deadlines, and she engages on the project fully. This is my first time using such a service, either here on Reedsy or going through this type of process of any kind for publishing a book. I felt comfortable with Conni guiding me through the sequence and significantly helping me produce a better outcome with my manuscript. I would not hesitate to recommend the process and Conni for their se...

John was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He understood the brief straight away and treated my manuscript with real care and respect, while still being confident enough to make smart, thoughtful edits. His work significantly improved the clarity, flow, and overall reader experience of my book, without ever diluting my voice. I especially appreciated the way he made the formatting more consistent and reader-friendly, and his simple but powerful suggestion to personalise ...
