“It’s great that Relay has up-to-date manuals and instructions for so many stages of their process. I love that level of investment. It’s very good to be able to feed back after a project.

“I have done a lot of freelancing over the years, and I have never had such a warm and welcoming experience.”

Would you please pass my congratulations to the outliner. The reason this story turned out so well was that she gave me solid, likeable characters with real, believable backstories and also lots of little fun details for me to riff on. She did a great job and made my work that much easier for it. Looking forward to my next relay project!

Theresa (Writer), Dec '19

“It’s always a pleasure writing on projects for Relay Publishing. I love the Teamwork application which makes finding out all the pertinent facts and communicating with team members so easy and efficient. I also like the ease of recording hours on the application and the ease of uploading project files now that we are doing it directly within Teamwork.

You hire top-notch people for every aspect of the process and I’ve yet to run into someone who isn’t knowledgeable about their respective aspect of the process. Everyone is always super positive and helpful and it makes working with Relay a true joy.”

Traci (Writer), '19

“I loved writing this series! It was so much fun—I had a detailed outline to guide me, but plenty of room to develop the characters and elements of the plot in a direction that felt organic as I was writing. This was a great way to take a break between my own writing projects and make some extra money. I can’t wait to write another book for Relay!”

N.H. (Writer), Oct '18

I really enjoyed being a part of this project. There were so many things I enjoyed about it. The creative process, the group calls, the brainstorming, the nitpicking (that’s me), the cooperation, and learning from other members.

Kerry, Editor, Jul '23

“I truly love working with Relay mainly for the people and the team-spirit. My needs are always accommodated and everyone is always just very kind and helpful. It’s always a pleasure to work in an environment in which people understand that you have boundaries and real-life responsibilities to deal with. Relay’s work ethic is what keeps me coming back …”
Marion, French translator, March 2023

“I appreciated that the Editor pushed me to really meet the needs of this new genre in terms of plotting – her edits gave me a chance to hone my skills in this area and now I feel much more confident producing this kind of story.”

Rebekah (Writer), Mar '21

As a 20+ year veteran of the publishing industry, watching Relay’s transition from novice to expert has been nothing short of phenomenal and it’s been my pleasure to help be a part of the growth.”

Anna (Writer), '19

“I can honestly say that my work with Relay has been my best freelance experience by far.”
