"Chad was one of four developmental editors that I considered for my true crime/sports book. I was impressed by his quick response but even more impressed by how detailed it was. He told me how he would help me in specific steps, what he would charge for his services and how he came up with that dollar figure. Of course telling me what he would do is easy. How about the end result? I was very pleased with his detailed analysis. This guy is a pro. If you take him on you know you will get your money's worth."

"Chad was PHENOMENAL to work with from start to finish. He communicated very effectively with me every step of the way. I could tell throughout the process he had my best interests in mind. He also went above and beyond what I asked him to do and offered numerous suggestions on how to make my book better. I would refer Chad to anyone and cannot say enough good things about my experience working with him. He is top notch in quality provided and customer service. FIVE STARS!!!!!!"

"Doing an online search, It was dumb-luck that I found Chad Rhoad offering his editorial services. His genre is historical manuscripts which is what I'd hacked out as a clueless, tentative, first-time author. His rates were less than I'd expected and his turnaround was certainly respectable. When I nervously opened my newly-polished manuscript, I was happy to find helpful, light-handed, cogent observations that I can easily blend into the second draft without altering my 'style'. I embarked on this bucket-list project alone but now feel I have someone on board to watch my back. Thanks Chad!"

“Chad is every sense of the word is a professional. He gives praise when the writing is good and shows where the writing can be improved. I can say that in every case his arguments for improvement were conveyed to me by friends and neighbors that read my story before him. As with all things that are opinionated you agree with some opinions and disagree with others. After taking a slow reflection of the edit presented, in all cases Chad has your welfare in mind. I would not hesitate in using Chad for my next manuscript.”

“This is my first project and I had no idea what I was doing or what I was in for and Chad was wonderful. He took the time to understand me and did not hesitate to provide great feedback. I could have never gotten to this point without him. This is the guy you are looking for to boost your project. You wont be disappointed."

“Chad Rhoad has edited my last two books. He’s careful but easy to work with, and his changes are thoughtful, skillful and clear. Best of all, he’s not condescending, a quality that I particularly respect.”

"Chad went the extra mile in helping me with my book. Made several good suggestions. I am well pleased with his part of the project."

"Chad’s thoughtful and constructive insight provided me with actionable and tangible improvements that helped transform my debut manuscript from where it was to where it should be. I am now far better prepared to meet the rigors of the publishing world after Chad’s review."

"I made the right choice in selecting Chad to review my query letter, synopsis, and first 19 pages in preparation for an upcoming conference. His edits were timely, encouraging, and specific. I plan to apply them to the rest of my manuscript, and will be stepping into that conference with more confidence now. I highly recommend Chad's services."

“I am very grateful for the work Chad provided to my ongoing writing. His suggestions have allowed me to take a step back from my story and see it afresh, ultimately making it stronger. I plan to partner with Chad again down the road for further guidance and editing expertise.” 

Six star service! The reedsy platform only allowed me the option to leave five stars for this review, so I drew the sixth star on the surface of my screen. Of course I'm just funning here, however the thought did cross my mind. After reading Chad Road's impressive set of credentials and the amount of editing experience that he had, I said a short prayer and took the plunge. And now I'm happy to say that hiring Chad as my editor was one of the best decisions that I have made since I have been writing. I placed the order and boy did he deliver. The amazing job that he did in combing through my novel with a fine tooth comb to fish out errors that (in my opinion) only an ace word-detective could have found, was more impressive to me then his awesome credentials. Chad didn't just suggest revisions to the manifold of errors that he discovered in my novel. He also took the time to include detailed explanations as to why he made suggestions and revisions in the first place. Likewise, whenever I asked him a question via the reedsy correspondence platform, he replied back to me faster than about 95% of the people that reply to my text messages on a daily bases. And last but not least, the fee that he charged for helping me clean up my novel were (in my opinion) very fair. Especially considering the awesome job that he did. I really enjoyed working with Chad and will definitely seek his editing expertise for my future projects. I highly recommend Chad Rhoad's professional editing services to anyone desiring quality and excellence. This is J.R. Alexander and I approve this message!
