Mike Trent is the professional's professional. No matter how good we are in our own areas of expertise, we can't be everything. That's when we seek out others who are the best at what they do. Experienced, talented, and responsive, Mike is the one to call for design, composition, creativity, balance, color, and more. Add his experience to his innate talent and you get someone who will provide you with concepts that inspire, execution that will stun, and follow-through that will solidify every...

Really enjoyed working with Tina. Great communication and she did an excellent job of doing the copy edit for my first book. She didn't just make the edits, she provided reasons and guidance so I understood the "why". Will work with her again for sure!

This is my fourth project working with Lucia, and I can attest to the absolute professionalism of both her editing and proofreading. Thorough, timely, detailed, consistent, constructive and encouraging ... she's everything you want in an editor/proofreader. Highly recommend!

Amanda was simply a pleasure to work with. I had a very tight—arguably unreasonable—timeline, and she didn’t hesitate to take on the challenge. She delivered thoughtful, insightful feedback that significantly improved the clarity, tone, and flow of my children’s storybook. What stood out most was her attention to detail and her genuine care for the project. She not only corrected grammar and phrasing, but also offered suggestions that strengthened the storytelling and made the narrative more ...

My experience with RuthAnne was productive and enjoyable. She was prompt, professional, and personable with her assessment. Her evaluation of my manuscript was detailed and provided both positive feedback as well as areas for improvement with examples. She was more than happy to discuss any of her comments and answer questions. I appreciate her time and professionalism. I would definitely recommend her to other authors.

I couldn’t recommend Rebecca more highly as a developmental editor. She started with a one-to-one meeting to really understand the heart of the project before touching a single page — and that investment showed in everything that followed. Her feedback was thoughtful, specific, and always in service of the story I was trying to tell, not a generic template. Beyond the big-picture developmental advice, she went through the manuscript line by line, adding comments and suggestions directly onto...

I feel very grateful to have been able to work with someone as experienced as Kathy. She brings deep professional insight across all levels of the writing process, and has the ability to really laser in on the story, its issues, and the potential resolutions. In short, the feedback she gave me has catapulted my project forward so that I feel much more in the drivers seat of my story, and my writing. I am chomping at the bit to continue implementing her editorial suggestions. And in case you ...

Working with Shannon has been one of the greatest blessings in my writing journey. She has edited five of my books, and with each one, she proves again why she is absolutely indispensable. Her attention to detail is extraordinary—nothing slips past her. She catches the smallest inconsistencies, tightens the narrative, and ensures every word earns its place. Her skill in reorganizing timelines—dates, times, and sequences—is nothing short of amazing. Whenever I drift, she gently but firmly ste...

Working with Raquel on the layout and design of my book, Unfinished Business, was an absolute pleasure! As a new author navigating the self-publishing process for the first time, I was looking for a designer who could offer both technical structure and high-level creativity. Raquel exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly organized and professional, making what could have been a daunting process feel seamless. My vision for the book included fun design elements and specific places for ...

Working with Cynthia has been an exceptional experience. She combined a sharp editorial eye with genuine care for my project. Her revisions made my manuscript feel more robust, polished, and true to my vision. She not only strengthened the structure and flow of the work but also provided clear, thoughtful guidance on formatting and consistency, which will make the final book much stronger. Cynthia is professional, detail-oriented, and supportive throughout the process. She balanced encourage...

I cannot express enough that working with Lisa was the best decision I could have made for my father’s book. She brought precision, compassion, and true editorial mastery to every page. Lisa didn’t just edit the manuscript — she elevated it. She understood the heart of the story, protected my dad’s voice, and shaped the book into something I am deeply proud to publish. Her instincts were excellent, and she was spot-on with every detail. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine care ar...

Working with Tina was an exceptional experience. Her editing was precise, thoughtful, and incredibly efficient — she delivered the project much earlier than expected and with outstanding quality. She understood my writing instantly, improved clarity without changing my voice, and formatted the entire book in a clean, professional APA style. I especially appreciated her suggestions regarding visuals and structure, which showed how deeply she understood the material. Tina’s communication was ...

If what you're looking for is a professional, experienced, smart, articulate, sincere editor to join you on the journey of your work, then Jackson is your guy. Excellent across the board. Exceeded my expectations in ways I wasn't expecting. And that, dear writer friends, was the kind of author fuel I was hoping for. Terrific editor and person. Just do it.

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...

Stephanie took my ideas and turned them into something magical for my book cover! She was very professional and outlined her process and milestones in her offer. She kept me updated on her progress, and she was very open to any suggestions or questions I had. I would definitely recommend her for your projects!
