I was very grateful to find Pamela who provided efficient, quality translation for my fiction book from English to German. She understood the quirk of my writing and was able to provide parallel meanings that didn't interfere with the impact of the storyline. I look forward to working with her again for other short stories collections.

Deborah was incredible to work with! I am so impressed with the quality of her work, her thoroughness, her notes, and how easy it was to work with her. I have been so lost in this process, and she has been beyond patient, professional, kind, and extremely responsive. I can't say enough good things about her!! I just loved working with her!

I hired Jonathan to proofread my manuscript, and the results were more than I could have hoped for. The manuscript had already been reviewed many times, but he still caught things I had missed. He also made a few thoughtful suggestions within the manuscript that were right on target and genuinely improved the work. I would absolutely want to work with him again.

Vicki was extremely professional and from day one she understood our concept and engaged with our book. Her ideas were great and she has created the perfect cover for our book - The Dash of Life. She is easy to work with, great at communicating and has been instrumental in making this an exciting and enjoyable project.

Jennifer is a fantastic editor. She was super easy to work with and was always willing to go above and beyond when I needed extra support. She provided thoughtful feedback and was the first person to let me know when my character wouldn't behave a certain way! Sometimes, it felt like she knew my characters more than I did in the moment. I loved working with Jennifer and truly recommend her to anyone that is seeking out a book coach. This was one of the best experiences I've had working with a...

I came to her with a manuscript that was ambitious, contrarian, and structured in a very specific way. As an author, you often fear that an editor will try to flatten your voice or force your unique structure into a standard box. Kimberley did the exact opposite: she entered my world completely. From day one, she treated the project not just as a job, but as a partnership. She took the time to deeply understand the "heartbeat" of the book—why certain sections needed to be contemplative and o...

Steph has been incredible to work with. She has so much knowledge about the romance world, everything from plotting, pacing, and scene creation, she can do it all. Not only is her technical ability great, but her infectious personality is a delight to work with, she is extremely responsive and is able to untangle the mess of my brain into a publishable book. I would highly recommend her!

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

The magic begins when Zoe's pen touches a blank page. Her imagination overflows, and her artwork embodies who she is: heartwarming, original, stylish, creative, imaginative, and caring. I can't say enough about Zoe's high standard of excellence. She has illustrated two children's books for me, and both have exceeded my expectations. This time, she edited the books to match my new logo, made another small tweak, and delivered them in new, professional formats. She takes her work seriously, and...

I handed Daniel a manuscript and a whole lot of nervous energy. He handed back a beautifully formatted book — and, more importantly, a sense of calm I didn't expect. From day one, he provided FAQs and clear guidance that made the process transparent and approachable. His responsiveness and genuine support throughout the project turned what could have been a stressful first self-publishing experience into something I actually enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Rozi completed an absolutely wonderful edit of Chapter One of my manuscript. She delivered an exceptional marked-up copy with a highly detailed dev-report. Her insights were profound and really helped to sharpen my voice and tighten my pacing/tension. Her edits were thoughtful, encouraging and highly detailed, and it gave me so much to work with, whilst still maintaining my own voice and narrative-intent. We are now moving onto completing a developmental edit of my entire manuscript. I can ...

I am absolutely thrilled with the work Debbie has done on my manuscript. Her guidance in identifying and filling gaps in my story has been invaluable. Every suggestion and pointer feels like a masterclass in writing - it's as if she's helped me discover a better writer inside myself. Her insight, encouragement, and attention to detail are making the editing process productive and genuinely inspiring. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking to take their manuscript to the next l...

Working with Daniel was one of the best decisions I made during the production of my book. He went far beyond what I initially expected from a formatter and became an important creative partner in bringing the final book to life. The interior of the book turned out beautifully, and much of that is the result of Daniel’s exceptional eye for design. He selected a theme and visual direction that perfectly complemented the story and gave the book the polished, professional appearance I was hopin...

As a first-time author, finding the right editor was a daunting task. You spend years developing an idea, committing to it, and trying to shape it into the best version possible, so handing your manuscript over to someone else is not easy. I was initially a little sceptical about using Reedsy to find an editor, especially for such a personal passion project. I reached out to a few editors, but what stood out to me about Sam was his enthusiasm and attitude from the start. His feedback was war...

Emily was awesome to work with. My manuscript came with very strict, non-negotiable guidelines—proofreading only, no editing—and she followed them perfectly. She delivered exactly what was asked for, ahead of schedule, with great attention to detail. She also flagged a few areas where clarity could be improved and asked for approval before making any changes. I plan to work with her again on my next manuscript without question.
