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...

This was the most incredible experience ever for me. Florin was extremely professional and also kind, his work exceeded my expectations while aligning perfectly with my vision. He went above and beyond with my many different requests, and created something truly special, unique and beautiful. I sent many different references and explanations, and his work was exactly what I wanted, but with creativity and skill I couldn’t have imagined myself. It was my first time commissioning an artist ...

Marta has been a great pleasure to work with! She understood exactly what I wanted to convey from the cover, she was responsive, delivered in the promised time frame and was very kind and helpful overall. I am definetely going to work with her again; the cover of my upcoming novel looks amazing, I am very happy.

Before the project began Ore scheduled a Zoom consultation to understand my goals, discuss the services available, and align on pricing. She took the time to specialize her approach based on what I needed rather than offering a one size fits all service. That level of care before the work even started set the tone for everything that followed. Ore ensured that I chose the right service based on what I was looking for. We agreed that a manuscript assessment was the best choice as I had initial...

Kate copyedited my debut novel, and I could not be more pleased with the experience or the result. My publisher requires authors on its imprint to arrange their own copyediting, so I came to Reedsy looking for someone with real literary experience — and Kate delivered on every count. She was a clear, prompt communicator from start to finish, and when her schedule unexpectedly opened up, she offered to begin the project early. Her editing was thorough and complete, and here is the measure of h...

Working with Olga on the Spanish translation of The Anxious Girls’ Guide: Finding Your Calm and the Inner Calm Planner was a truly rewarding experience which I am sincerely grateful for. Olga brought genuine clinical intelligence to a complex project. The Tourist vs. Roommate anxiety framework required more than linguistic skill — it required real clinical understanding — and Olga demonstrated that from the very first sample page. Framework terminology, technique names, and the warm teen-fri...

Shenny responds quickly, communicates clearly, and kept me up to date on what was going on even when my input wasn't needed. I was originally just looking for a web page setup but opted for a full branding package as well, pretty much on a whim since it was within my budget, and I'm glad I did! The palette and look/vibe she came up with were exactly what I didn't know I was looking for (if you've ever spent hours on Pinterest looking for ideas without being able to actually pinpoint anything,...

Elayne is a wonder to work with. She took the dreaded synopsis project and made the revision process feel easy. Her analysis was thoughtful and precise. She asked insightful questions that helped clarify what truly needed to be included (and what didn’t) to tell the story effectively in such a limited space. Her line edits were masterful. And what's more, I also working on a tight timeline, and she delivered everything ahead of schedule. An absolute pleasure. Thank you, Elayne!

Lauren has been a pleasure to work with so far. Her feedback on my dev edit was thorough, thoughtful, and actionable. I appreciate how she identified areas of improvement on a granular level, as well as thematically, for me to work on as a writer. It is a pleasure to have Lauren edit my manuscript, providing guidance for me through her extensive knowledge. She's incredibly easy to communicate with, open, and supportive. I look forward to continuing to work with her on this project and future ...

Flavia is an outstanding illustrator. She has a talent for transforming real people into believable characatures of themselves . It was an honor to work with her.

Savannah was professional, very communicative, efficient and understanding. It was clear she read my manuscript thoroughly and carefully. Her report was brimming with great suggestions and examples of modifications it would be well to make. She was kind, first telling me what worked and thoughtfully even giving me a plan on how to procede. Great value! Great experience! Will use her again.

Emily was a complete joy to work with. She was prompt, communicative, and exceptionally organized throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she made what could have been a complex formatting project feel seamless from start to finish. I always felt informed, supported, and confident that the book was in capable hands. I would happily work with her again and highly recommend her to any author looking for a skilled and reliable formatter.

Cyndi is an exceptional illustrator and amazing to work with. The process was very straight forward and her work is always the highest quality. Although I never had too much input--because everything was initially amazing--when I did have ideas, Cyndi was able to incorporate them with no issues at all and in a timely manor. I had a vague idea of the world that I wanted visually represented, but Cyndi had much more of a vision. She really helped create the world and bring to life a unique pe...

My experience with Melissa was smooth sailing. She was professional, understanding, honest and accommodating. I published my first novel Veritas Naturae back in June thanks to Melissa's help. She was very detailed when giving feedback and receptive to my concerns and questions and very patient! I was nervous at first but she was very open and encouraging the whole time and I wouldn't have gotten to publish so soon if I hadn't reached out to her and she took a chance on me. Hope to ...

Kelly Carter was absolutely amazing to work with on both the cover and interior design of my book. She was attentive, responsive, and incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. Her artistic talent is exceptional, and she brought my vision to life beautifully. She was always easy to communicate with and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I am very thankful for her hard work and dedication, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional des...
