As a first-time author working on my book The Inner Mission, I was looking for someone who could provide clear, honest, and professional guidance through a process that was completely new to me. Travis exceeded my expectations in every way. From the beginning, he was highly professional, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain key aspects of the writing and editing process in a clear and structured way, which helped me better understand not only my manuscript bu...

Working with Tina has been one of the most meaningful and transformative parts of my publishing journey. She is that rare kind of editor who brings equal parts mastery, intuition, and genuine care to every page. Her feedback was never just technical — it was clarifying, grounding, and deeply attuned to the heart of the work. I felt seen, supported, and sharpened in all the right ways. Tina doesn’t simply polish a manuscript; she elevates it. She listens for the soul of the book, protects its...

It was an absolute pleasure working with Eva. Excellent translation. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful experience working with Christina on the editorial assessment of my manuscript, It’s Temporary – The Temporary Theory. Her feedback was thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging, and she approached the work with genuine care and professionalism. The guidance she provided helped strengthen the clarity of the manuscript while still respecting the voice and intention behind the book. As a first-time author, I especially appreciated her balanced and supportive approach. Her asse...

Kathy was great--her thoughtfulness and feedback went above and beyond. I felt like she was truly invested in the project and saw its potential. her suggestions for rewrites were spot on and very constructive. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and will once the rewrites are complete.

I had a wonderful experience working with Christina Houen. Her developmental editing comments were thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly helpful in strengthening my manuscript. She had a clear understanding of the memoir genre and offered suggestions that improved the structure, clarity, and emotional impact of my story while still honoring my voice. I especially appreciated how detailed and constructive her feedback was. She pointed out areas where the narrative could be clarified, sections...

Chandler was incredible to work with while editing my self-help book proposal. She was extremely thoughtful in both her written feedback on the document and in her communication with me throughout the process. I learned so much from her. She took the time to make sure I truly understood her edits and comments rather than just making changes and moving on. She also made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the process. Writing a book proposal can feel overwhelming, and her support, clarity, and enc...

I am new to writing and the whole editorial process. Kellyn was very helpful and understanding. She was happy to do a basic read through of the manuscript and then work with me honestly on where the manuscript sits in terms of publishing and what I'll need to do in order to get it to that stage. I would highly recommend her for any part of the editing process.

I had a great experience working with Joel on the illustrations for my middle grade chapter book. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and really thoughtful about bringing the characters and scenes to life. Joel did a fantastic job capturing the personality and tone of the story, and his illustrations added so much charm and fun to the book. He was also very open to feedback and quick to make adjustments whenever needed. I really appreciated how collaborative the whole process fel...

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!

Allen was a delight to work with. He was thoughtful, creative, and entirely responsive to our needs and feedback. The quality of his work speaks for itself. We couldn't be happier.

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.

Working with Mark was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From our first conversation on Reedsy, he was professional, clear about his process, and very transparent about the value included in his design package. I came into the project with a strong direction for the cover and shared some sample mockups that captured about 70–80% of what I had in mind. Mark took that foundation and elevated it while also creating two completely original concepts. What truly impressed me was that ...

As a first-time author, I was honestly very nervous going into this process and didn’t quite know what to expect. I was even nervous to show my manuscript to anyone, let alone a professional editor. From the very beginning, Sophie made me feel comfortable and supported. She approached my work with such care that I quickly knew she was the right person to help preserve my voice while enhancing the manuscript. What initially felt like a daunting process became something I genuinely enjoyed than...

Gary has been an incredible editor. I've had the pleasure to work with him several times now, and his punctual, professional and pointed edits have assisted greatly in my work. He's given great notes on what to trim down and what to add further detail and description to. I'm fairly new at this, but can safely say that I've seen my work grow in depth and sophistication since working with Gary and would wholeheartedly recommend his services for any project.
