“If an index is a map of the writer’s mind, Reed Floarea is the most brilliant of cartographers, precise, thorough, and imaginative.” – Siddhartha Deb, author of Twilight Prisoners: The Rise of the Hindu Right and the Fall of India
“Reed Floarea approaches manuscripts with a sharp analytic mind and deep care. Any writer would be lucky to work with them.” – Anna Terwiel, author of Prison Abolition for Realists
