Lauren was excellent to work with throughout this project. She was highly responsive, thorough, and consistently delivered work of a very high standard. As well as providing a detailed proofread, she often went beyond what was asked by spotting issues, making thoughtful suggestions, and helping improve the overall quality of the manuscript. Communication was clear and professional throughout, deadlines were met, and I always felt the project was in safe hands. I would happily work with Lau...

Annemarie was amazing for both the cover design and the formatting, working hard and always being available with all my questions and requests. I can't recommend her more highly, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

Dermott was extremely responsive and helpful. This was my first book and I was short of time and experience and the guidance Dermott gave has been invaluable. His developmental edits & comments & suggestions were used by me in the final edits and I would recommend him highly. Crispian

I worked with Steph for developmental and line editing (who hasn't left out a few hundred commas here or there...) and I LOVED thier vibe and approach to the whole process from the very start when I sent them a sample of my work. I walked into the process of editing very green (this is my first novel) and Steph was very supportive, constructive and helpful throughout. Steph is very real and authentic in their approach to giving feedback and notes. Also, they're incredibly good at teasing ou...

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.

Krista was a dream to work with on this project! She was proactive in her communication and even completed the project ahead of the initial due date WITH a holiday in the middle of the timeframe. I would love to work with her again on upcoming projects and would recommend her to anyone looking for an honest professional editorial review.

Prior to working with Christine, I had a great deal of trepidation about the process, not to mention the cost. After vetting several ghostwriters on Reedsy, Christine stood out for several reasons. The first reason was that her reply to my inquiry was specific to the sample I had submitted. The replies from the other potential candidates were full of generalities. It was clear they hadn’t fully read my submission. Still, it took a couple of weeks before I chose Christine. She expressed enthus...

Jaime was extremely helpful, very professional and got the work done in the required time. I loved working with her, and it was really great experience to having my first editor ever look at something I wrote. She was very prompt, very nice and I seemed like we clicked from the start which was nice, it was like talking with a friend! She also has helped fine tune my manuscript and point out things I did not notice before which has helped my book become even better!

I am a psychologist, and I was very particular in using my intuition when reviewing editors' profiles to see who I thought would be a good fit. Catherine's profile led me to believe she personally invests in what she is doing, caring and motivated to give something to the world through her work. Catherine exceeded my hopes. My original content was strong, but too dense to keep readers engaged. She helped me streamline the book, maintaining it's essence and my voice while making it less taxing...

Working with Frances across multiple projects has been an incredible learning experience. Each time, I’ve walked away grateful for her time, expertise, and guidance. Both the editorial assessments and developmental edits she provided gave me invaluable insight into the publishing landscape and the revision process. I feel as though I keep a tiny Frances on my shoulder now whenever I sit down to revise, pulling her considerations into my work. When in doubt, ask yourself: What would Frances do?

If you are an author looking for a Spanish translator, look no further than Olga. I hired her to translate The Humility You Want and the World Needs, and the experience was exceptional from beginning to end. As an author, you want a translator who understands that the words on the page are only part of the work. Olga captured the voice, tone, and heart of the message and delivered it beautifully in Spanish. Her communication was timely and professional throughout the entire process, which ma...

As a first-time author, handing my manuscript over to someone else was a little intimidating. Within the first few pages of Bryn's comments, I knew I had chosen the right editor. She has a wonderful ability to point out areas that can be strengthened while also celebrating what is already working. Her feedback was thoughtful, encouraging, and incredibly insightful. She never made me feel like I needed to rewrite my story or change my voice. Instead, she helped me see where I could dig a litt...

Working with Olga was an excellent experience. She went above and beyond, showing remarkable patience to ensure the cover was absolutely perfect - and the result exceeded my expectations. Throughout the process, she was friendly, communicative, and receptive to every request for revision. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her.

I sent my proposal to five editors on Reedsy. David was the only editor who suggested a free sample edit on the first couple of chapters. I can't imagine hiring an editor without first seeing how they edit, how they interact with my material and how they make suggestions. It showed immediately how serious and thorough an editor David is. I was won over straight away after reading David's comments and edits because he pointed things out that had never crossed my mind but which in fact were hug...

I have really enjoyed working with Laura. The feedback I received was extremely detailed, insightful and constructive, while also being kind and encouraging. Her critique gave me a far clearer understanding of picture book structure and the editing process, as well as valuable direction on how to strengthen my current manuscript. Laura was incredibly responsive throughout the process, with fast replies, regular updates and thoughtful communication which made me feel very reassured as someone...
