If you are reading this review because, like me a few months ago, you are dipping your toes into getting professional help with your book, then all I can say is DO IT! I read through all of Mark’s reviews, and I knew he was the type of editor I wanted and needed. From the moment I made contact, I felt at ease. He is enthusiastic and genuine, but he doesn’t sugar-coat either. The thing I found with Mark is that he really understands the journey. I do not know the writing world, and I was hone...

This is my first childrens book, and David was amazing to work with from start to finish, his experience really was so valuable to me and made the whole project so smooth and effortless. He really understood my vision and delivered the most beautiful and alive illustrations for my book. He has a great ability to create characters and give so much expression and personality to them. I plan on doing a series of these and will be for sure using him again. I highly recommend him!

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...

I have been so fortunate to work with Kerry, who has designed three of my book covers so far. There are more pending! Her incredible talent and creative eye have brought my stories to life in ways I never could have imagined. Each cover perfectly captures the heart and mood of the book, drawing readers in at first glance. Beyond her artistic skills, Kerry has become a trusted collaborator whose dedication and professionalism make every project a joy. I am deeply grateful for her artistry and ...

Helen was incredibly helpful; her insight pinpointed all of my story's strengths and weaknesses. This brought me clarity as a writer, allowing me to narrow my focus and iron out the bumpier parts of my book. Her criticisms were encouraging, boosting my confidence tremendously. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Working with Cynthia has been one of the most rewarding parts of my writing journey. She brought clarity, precision, and genuine insight to every stage of the edit. Her developmental feedback strengthened the structure and emotional core of my story, and her line edits elevated the prose in ways I could feel immediately. She has an incredible gift for seeing both the big-picture narrative and the fine-grained details that make a scene sing. What impressed me most was her ability to understan...

Working with Erin has been an absolute joy. She is a truly great professional — thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly thorough. Her editorial feedback on The Brayhill Chronicles was clear, constructive, and full of care. Erin managed to highlight exactly what needed refining while keeping my confidence in the story intact. She gave me more than one real lightbulb moment — those “of course!” insights that instantly make everything click. What I appreciated most was her ability to point out th...

Jill is an amazing editor! Her skillset is exactly what I was looking for. She does what an editor is hired to do - edit. She knows how to keep the narrative flowing, and spots the inaccuracies. She cites confusing text and where more elaboration is needed. She is a master! Jill met every deadline and was very responsive, encouraging me every step of the way. She handed me a final polished manuscript I'm proud to put my name on. I highly recommend her!

It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with Lisa. My story was lucky to have her, as she applied her vast experience in the publishing industry to help me shape it towards something which my target audience might want to read. Lisa truly immersed herself in the project and her valuable suggestions have given my meanderings clearer direction. I look forward to putting Lisa’s expert advice into practice and working with her again.

Alexandra has an incredible gift, her feedback is not only amazingly descriptive, but also deeply insightful. She has a rare ability to articulate exactly what’s working in a manuscript and, more importantly, what isn’t, in a way that’s both clear and constructive. Her notes revealed the underlying structural and narrative issues that I couldn’t quite identify on my own. Thanks to her guidance, I now have a much stronger sense of direction for the next phase of revision. I’m so grateful for h...

Working with Alan Hebel on the cover for Effortless Clarity was a great experience from start to finish. He was highly communicative, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. He stayed flexible as ideas evolved and was open to feedback, which made it easy to iterate and refine the direction. What I appreciated most was how smooth he made the process. There was a good balance between bringing his own perspective and incorporating what I was looking for. The end result is a ...

It's always a pleasure to work with Hannah. She's so knowledgeable, and she gives detailed edits that are clear and concise. She also communicates exceptionally well. I love how personal and collaborative her approach to editing feels. She's my go-to on this website.

Ruth was absolutely wonderful to work with. Not only did she deliver her edit even earlier than scheduled, but the feedback she provided was both precise and thoughtful. Her keen eye for detail helped elevate the language without ever losing the original tone of the manuscript. As an editor myself, I deeply appreciated how carefully she respected the text’s voice while still improving clarity and flow. Every suggestion felt considered and purposeful, never overbearing. Her communication thr...

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.

Katie is, in a word, incredible. Super talented, kind, honest, professional, patient, and completely in control of her craft, which is marketing research. For a writer like me, with no appreciable feel for that critical part of the process, Katie is, in another word, invaluable. For anyone looking for a crystal clear roadmap through the exasperating maze that is marketing research, Katie is, in a final word, awesome.
