Working with Ivy on my debut novel was an incredible experience. She was fast and responsive, but more importantly, she was deeply "in" the manuscript with me. Her attention to detail is extraordinary - she caught things I never would have spotted, and her feedback on everything from sentence flow to overall style was spot on. I consistently found myself thinking "that's absolutely right!" What really stood out was how intuitively she grasped my voice. Ivy didn’t just edit the book - I felt...

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 am so thankful for George! He is patient, understanding, a great communicator, and above all else a true professional. His enviable artistic skills brought my characters to life in a way I couldn't ever have imagined. I was so pleased that I literally opened up his drafts on my laptop and kept them open all day every day just so I could glance at them when I got a break. I cannot recommend George enough; he is the real deal. You will not be sorry.

Working with Celia has been an absolute pleasure. She went above and beyond, and the insights she shared with me have been invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her. She’s an absolute star, and I will definitely be back with additional projects. Thanks so much, Celia--this has been a total blast and I’m super grateful for all your stellar work!

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...

My writing style is bold, explicit, and twisted, so it can be a challenge to find collaborators who understand and appreciate that. I queried a handful of editors on Reedsy with a sample that included a spicy sex scene. I figured if they could handle that, they could handle everything else in the book. Sure enough, Meredith A. responded quickly and favorably to my sample, and was available and eager to start the copy edit immediately. The cost was fair, and the one-month timeline was reasonab...

This is the first time that I have ventured into the world of indie publishing for an originally trad-published book that is very special to my heart. From Finn's enthusiastic reaction to the original cover brief and his initial creative response to his flexibility and openness to suggestions and the speed of his replies, he has made things feel easy and fun. I'm delighted with the final result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Finn to anyone looking for a very positive and collaborative ...

Kristin is an amazing editor who made the process a lot easier and did a great job helping me. As a first time author, where I thought this was only ever a pipe dream, it was nerve wracking handing someone basically my heart on a page. She was very compassionate and supportive, but honest and critical in the best way. She has an impeccable understanding of poetry and how to best get your point across to the reader. Always responds to emails promptly and asks important questions that make you ...

Nicola was so great to work with, both friendly and professional; she really helped me with my project and gave me feedback and encouragement. As it was my first time writing a manuscript, I felt a bit lost and overwhelmed with all the steps involved, but she broke them down and made it so much more manageable to get to the next stage. She was also so quick at getting back to any messages and completing the overall collaboration. Would highly recommend her for anyone starting on their book-wr...

Jennifer has been amazing to work with. She’s incredibly prompt with her responses, and as a first‑time writer, that meant a lot to me. I was initially worried about feeling discouraged, but Jennifer approached my work with such professionalism and respect for where I am in my writing journey. Her feedback was, supportive, and genuinely helpful. She’s very easy to talk to, and offers ongoing communication throughout the process. I highly recommend her to any writer looking for an editor. Th...

I’ve worked with RuthAnn on two books in my contemporary romance series now and hope to work with her more in the future. She is fast, professional and provides in-depth feedback in a way that makes you feel encouraged and excited to get stuck in. Her suggestions have improved my writing and added clarity to my stories so they can be the best version of themselves. I can’t recommend her any more highly.

The story was The Judge’s Daughter not Conspiracy. Fictionalizing a complex story based on real experience is a challenge. More so for an octogenarian emerging to write. Zeynep in a professional manner tested my work in her analysis against critical desirable elements rather than preach. She made several useful elemental suggestions to tighten my storyline, including a timeline adjustment and an impactful repositioning. She is pleasant yet concrete. I think the world of her capacity base...

Mine was a difficult project - review the sequel of an unpublished first novel. One other person described the project as 'the literary equivalent of surgical separation of Siamese twins'. That said, I was blown away by the quality of the output I got from Elayne. Her comments were accurate, insightful, helpgul and nuanced. I have worked with a number of editors, and while all have been good, this was a different level. It was extremely helpful to get the perspective of a multiply-published...

Dr. Willoughby is both competent and courteous. We had good communication in the process and his editing notes were clear and insightful.

I’m a first time author and selected Andrea based on her profile details. She was amazing to work with. She paid attention to the finest detail. Her feedback was clear. She culminated very well, meeting all deadlines. She was patient with me as I navigated writing for the first time. I can’t wait to work with her again on future publications.
