Lucy was lovely to work with. She identified a core question straight away that needed to be answered while helping me with my book proposal. She was responsive and engaged and her helpful questions allowed me to find the focus of the proposal and polish it from there. I'm so grateful for her input and help!

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...

Paris has easily been the best person to work with. He made the two projects we’ve worked on together completely stress-free. I absolutely love the cover he created for my book, as well as the beautiful map. He’s an amazing professional—highly recommended!

I hired Staci for a developmental assessment of my memoir and was impressed by the thoughtfulness and depth of her feedback. She clearly took the time to engage with both the manuscript and the larger story I was trying to tell. The assessment was detailed, insightful, and at times difficult to read—which is exactly what I needed. Rather than offering vague encouragement, Staci identified weaknesses in structure, theme, and narrative focus while also highlighting the strengths of my writing....

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.

I selected Sebastian after interviewing several designers and conducting thorough research. From the very beginning, his credentials, portfolio, and thoughtful communication stood out and gave me the confidence that I was making the right choice. Throughout the process, that confidence only deepened. Sebastian designed the full visual identity of my book, including six original illustrations, five symbolic illustrations plus an additional detailed illustration, each of which was beautifully a...

I can't say enough good things about Helen. She was an absolute dream to work with and provided a thorough, insightful review of my manuscript, along with practical suggestions that genuinely improved the story. Helen understood exactly what I was trying to achieve and her feedback strengthened the manuscript while still preserving my voice. Her comments were thoughtful, encouraging and incredibly professional, and it was clear she had invested real time and care into the project. In fact, ...

Working with Lucy was truly wonderful. One of my biggest goals was to make the prose feel smooth, natural, and emotionally strong, especially since English isn’t my first language. She elevated the manuscript beyond what I had hoped for. Her explanations were always clear and spot-on, and her industry experience shines through in every note she gives. Lucy has an incredible eye for detail and continuity, catching subtle inconsistencies in the storyline that I would never have seen after so m...

Oksana gave wonderfully detailed notes and constructive feedback, treating my story with personalized attention, sensitivity, and care. She is warm and collaborative, with strong storytelling instincts and years of professional experience that inform her brilliant work. She delivered her notes promptly and was very communicative and understanding throughout our collaboration. I would highly recommend working with Oksana and hope to have the privilege to do so again soon!

Working with Victoria on my cover was such a pleasure. From the very start, she did something I didn't expect she actually read and asked questions about the book, and came to our early conversations with deep, thoughtful suggestions to help the vision and what I was trying to do. That care set the tone for everything that followed; she's a wonderful listener and a truly collaborative partner. The brief was a tricky one; it needed to hold real tension between bold and warm, professional and ...

Working with Lorna was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She brought a warm, encouraging energy to the entire process. Her proofreading was meticulous and thorough — she caught everything — but what truly set her apart was how she communicated. She was prompt, kind, and a genuine delight to work with. I never felt like just another project; I felt supported. If you're looking for a proofreader who combines sharp eyes with a wonderful collaborative spirit, Lorna is your person. I woul...

Working with Lisa Edwards on my first book was nothing short of transformative. She guided me through the entire process with respect, clarity, and a level of thoroughness that made me feel supported at every step. I deeply appreciated her time, her patience, and her genuine passion for the creative process. Lisa brings a rare combination of strengths: she understands both the creative side of storytelling and the technical side of publishing. That dual perspective shaped the kind of deep, in...

As a first-time author, (The Why of Sports) it dawned on me that I would soon need a cover design for my book. Luckily I stumbled upon Reedsy then found Sebastian. I really didn't have an idea about a cover design, but had a hunch he would come up with something wonderful. Indeed, he did, showing me a number of great designs before I settled on one. He then led me through the rest of the process, patiently showing me option after option until it was just perfect. I have come to know a lot of ...

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.

Of the two books that I have had published now through Reedsy,, Tjaša has been my absolute favorite to work with! I can't say enough good things about her - extremely responsive, very professional, and a very good sense of creativity and ideas. I would never have come up with her great designs for my cover and interior!
