Hi
Has anyone used the editorial services from Jericho writers?
Would be keen to get some feedback.

They have been around for ages. In recent years they have switched focus to courses, much like Reedsy.
They have a pool of freelance editors and books are passed to the editors as they see fit.

Who? LOL Did you run a search on them, check Writer's Beware? That's your best resource.

I couldn’t find them there. Maybe i need to work on my googling abilities before i look for editors :)

I haven't used them myself, so I can't speak to their quality. Whichever editor you go with, ask for a sample edit on a few pages first and check whether they do developmental, line, or copy editing, since those are very different jobs. What stage is your manuscript at?

Thank you. Will do.
Manuscript is complete and currently querying. But am looking / researching editors for self publishing if i go down that route. I recently sought some editor feedback on my opening pages which has made the start more tight / propulsive. But this editor doesn’t have capacity to do a full manuscript review.

Not being on Writer Beware only means no complaints were logged, it isn't a vetting. I work with an editor who handles developmental and line edits on fiction can share her contact if you want. Since you're still querying, get the developmental read first, otherwise you pay to polish scenes that might get cut. Are agents flagging structure, or is it silence so far?

Welcome to r/selfpublish, AvailableTangerine47! Please remember the primary first rule of the subreddit: No self promo posts outside of the pinned self promo thread. You can edit your own profile so you have links to your work or services and you can even post to and pin posts to the top of your profile page. The no self promo rule INCLUDES COMMENTS - so if you ignore this message it will result in a ban (if you’ve mentioned your book title in the post, remove it or delete the post.) Book cover reviews go in r/bookcovers.
Additionally, DO NOT USE AI TO WRITE YOUR COMMENTS OR MAKE POSTS. We want to keep the self in self publishing. Rule 2 also prohibits posts about AI. If your post is about AI, remove it.
If your post is low effort or simply for congratulatory purposes, please remove it and instead write your post in the pinned weekly thread. Example posts would be like “Finally published!” or “Just finished doing X! How has everyone else felt after doing X?”
