Where beautiful
books
are made

Working with Duncan was a very positive experience. He approached the manuscript with a high level of care and respect for the voice of the work. His edits focused on clarity, flow, and consistency without altering the underlying tone or philosophy. What stood out most was his ability to recognize what the writing was doing and support it rather than reshape it. His suggestions, especially around paragraph structure and readability, made the material more accessible while keeping the integrit...

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

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...

Franzi was wonderful to work with. She was so professional and communicative. I appreciate her attention to detail and the care she put into helping us not just translate the text, but conceptualize this books in a different language and culture.

I'm the queen of the typos, have a problem with ....s and ,s, and Jennifer had all the right answers in her red pen. She was easy to work with and responsive. I couldn't be happier with her work product and her work ethic. I enjoyed working with her from my nervously handing over my book to her handing it back with clear, focused edits.

Candace exceeded every expectation I had for our collaboration. The maps and sketches she created for my book matched my genre's tone and feel requirements to perfection. I would go as far to say her art work improves my story! It's a really good feeling to work with such a talented artist as Candace. I'm looking forward to working with Candace again for book II & III of my trilogy. My dream will be when I can collaborate with Candace to do the maps for every chapter of my up-coming travel...

I had a wonderful experience working with Edyta on my children's picture book. She was professional, responsive, and a joy to collaborate with throughout the entire project. Edyta carefully considered my feedback, made revisions promptly, and brought the story to life with beautiful, warm, and engaging illustrations. She also created a polished and professional book design that exceeded my expectations. The cover is especially eye-catching and perfectly captures the spirit of the story. I...

Working with Alison was an extremely positive experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and thorough, but what I especially appreciated was her warmth and positive energy. She responded to my questions quickly and clearly. She noticed even the smallest details and helped ensure that the manuscript was clean and consistent. She was patient, thorough, and always willing to take another look whenever something needed to be checked. I would work with Alison again wit...

Working with Patrick was an absolute joy. He was responsive and easy to communicate with, understood the project and created beautiful work well ahead of schedule. Without a doubt, I will reach out to him first for my next project. A consummate professional and talented artist.

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!

I enjoyed working with Pascale Hutton very much. Her response to my request was prompt outlining clearly time frame and cost. Any questions I did have, were answered quickly. As my book is based on an historical figure and there were few images of the woman in question, Pascale had very little to work with but she understood the character, the time in which the character lived and was able to transmit that to the creation of a stunning cover. Pascale's first "draft" was the one I chose as she...

Phil was great to work with, understood my vision right out of the gate, and brought the artwork to a form where my cover tells a story itself. Very polite, professional and willing to go in any direction I needed, with guidance from his experience in this industry, which was perfect for a first time self-publisher. This is the first in a trilogy and look forward to working with Phil on the other two!

Working with Shelley was an outstanding experience. From our earliest conversations, she showed a real ability to understand not only the manuscript itself, but also what we were trying to accomplish with its tone, style, and voice. She demonstrated an understanding of our voice and influences from the outset, while also taking the time to confirm our intentions before trying to guide the novel into any one standard box. What impressed us most was that her edit never felt generic or standard...

Michael really lived up to the expectations that I had when I selected him based on his profile and accomplishments. He was very personable and professional, every step along the way. He was quick to respond to my manuscript and queries and gave great information in return. In addition, he was comforting to respond to my questions and perspectives and at no point said that my ideas were crazy or too far out there. I felt like he respected my concerns and provided feedback to really take m...

I discovered Oksana when I watched the live Reedsy’s “Anatomy of a Great Scene” presentation on April 9, 2025. It was amazing and I highly recommend anyone interested in developmental editing for their project to check out the recording! When I first saw her, I immediately knew she was someone my project needed. Prior to that, I didn’t even know what a Developmental Editor or a scene was! And I was right: she was the perfect match for my project! In addition to being an amazing combinati...
