Kat was fantastic, extremely professional and knowledgeable. Was able to provide structured feedback. Did what she said she was going to do. Qualty was great. Thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I look forward to our next project together

Kate copyedited my debut novel, and I could not be more pleased with the experience or the result. My publisher requires authors on its imprint to arrange their own copyediting, so I came to Reedsy looking for someone with real literary experience — and Kate delivered on every count. She was a clear, prompt communicator from start to finish, and when her schedule unexpectedly opened up, she offered to begin the project early. Her editing was thorough and complete, and here is the measure of h...

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...

My uncle once said, "You never waste money when you hire an expert." Not only is Sarah an expert designer but she's also a true collaborator—flexible, egoless, and enthusiastic. She put her all into designing a cover that I'm really pleased with, she kept us on schedule, and she equipped me with the files I'll need to print and market my book.

This is my fourth time working with Jen and I've already booked her for my next project. Jen is a dream to work with. She provides, open, honest feedback in a timely manner, all while making you feel empowered. I love writing and I love it even more with an editor like Jen.

Working with Leslie was one of the best decisions I made during the development of my first book, Signal Integrity. I hired Leslie to complete both the copy edit and the final proofread, and she exceeded my expectations at every stage. Leslie brought an extraordinary level of care and thoughtfulness to the manuscript. Her edits strengthened the writing, improved clarity and consistency, and helped me address several important structural and formatting issues. Just as importantly, she never t...

Thanks to Bo Roginsky, for once again providing a careful and meticulous proofreading of the manuscript. His attention to detail and thoughtful review helped ensure that the book was polished and ready for publication. This was my second time working with Bo, and once again I found him to be thorough, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him without hesitation to any author looking for a careful and highly professional proofreader.

Ragav did an outstanding job editing my book. He is incredibly articulate, and his deep industry knowledge was evident in every edit he made. Beyond the technical work, our telephone conversations were highly productive and felt very sincere. His recommendations were constructive and non-judgmental, providing the encouragement I needed to take my writing to the next level. Ragav is a wonderful person whose kindness shines through in both his written comments and his voice. I will definitely b...

Working with Stefanie was an absolute dream from start to finish. She is incredibly responsive, collaborative, and thoughtful in her approach, and brought so much creativity and originality to the project. What stood out most was her ability to take the vision and elevate it beyond what I had imagined, adding her own ideas in ways that made the story richer and more engaging. Every step of the process felt seamless, and her communication made it easy and enjoyable to work together. I’m genu...

I am very happy about the support from Bryony and would work with her again anytime.

Sophie’s developmental edit was nothing short of transformative. Her keen insight and perceptive feedback surpassed my expectations, providing exactly what I needed at this critical stage. Sophie demonstrated a deep understanding of my book’s mission and captured my voice with remarkable clarity. Her thoughtful suggestions and meticulous attention to detail brought out the very best in my manuscript—elevating it in ways I could never have achieved alone. I am deeply grateful for the dedicatio...

All I can say is wow! Mark went above and beyond and I am incredibly happy with my cover. He was a consummate professional from the outset. His response to my request for bids was another level compared to his competitors who also responded. He understood my book and what I was trying to convey. The cover design did an amazing job communicating that. I used to be a graphic designer and so I was pretty nitpicky about minor changes. Mark handled my requests with grace and speed. We had a seamle...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working with Eva Maria Dietrich Carreño has been one of the most impactful decisions I’ve made—not just for my manuscript, but for my life. As an editor, Eva brings an extraordinary level of insight, care, and precision to the work. She doesn’t just review your writing—she truly sees it. She understands the heart of what you’re trying to create and helps you elevate it without ever compromising your voice. If anything, she encourages you to go bigger, bolder, and deeper into your trut...

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 ...

Rebecca was so easy to work with and made the experience very collaborative! She saw my vision and not only made it come to life but made it better than even what I had imagined. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future!
