What Clients Are Saying

"Rachel is a true hero! I’m so grateful for her incredibly insightful suggestions and her kind words.

You have no idea how much it means to hear encouragement and have someone point out some of the stuff I miraculously got right instead of all that is awfully wrong  (as much as that has merits too). It really pushes me to want to deliver! Two weeks ago I didn’t believe I’d be able to write a single paragraph. I worked hard on making sense of the plot so that the future scenes hit at the right times. I’m genuinely touched that Rachel used her precious time to read and analyze so much and that she read over my changes too!

Her kind words genuinely went a long way. Rachel’s name will be the first thing on my lips regarding editors."

“I will be hiring Rachel for all my future books! I fought the idea that I should need help for awhile. I am a good writer. I have a distinct voice and a lot of experience. I also am writing a book about my past and the lessons I learned. Well...I have been served up a whole portion of humble pie, because I will NEVER not spend money on an editor for any future book. I can tell you right now...the emotional/expert support of a human in this process doesn't hold a CANDLE to ChatGPT.

​

Rachel crushed it at her job. As soon as we started, I knew I had hired the right person. She had ideas that I never even would have thought of because I'd been staring at it too long. Her questions as an outside objective source were something I could not do myself because I knew the material too well. As someone who is known for efficiency, I was SHOCKED at how much I was over explaining. I'm writing faster now that she's telling me where to focus in and clean it up. She told me the manuscript was in good shape when she received it, which felt great of course, but the book that will actually be published? So much better.”

"I would definitely recommend Rachel as a developmental editor! She is kind and knowledgeable, and has a knack for structure and cohesive storytelling. Rachel was such a great help to me when I got stuck in the murky middle of my manuscript. She asked so many great questions that sparked ideas, and suggested alternatives to problematic scenes. Her suggestions helped jolt me out of a rut I had been in for a while and allowed me to see a new path I might make for my characters. She not only wanted to help get me unstuck, but I felt she also wanted to help me preserve the vision I have for my story. Her suggestions didn't change that vision, but helped guide me along the path I had already set out."

“I would recommend Rachel in a heartbeat. She was quick to respond, very thorough, and thoughtful in the work she did for us.

​

She was so organized and knew what we needed to do to turn our book idea into an outline. Without her Writer’s Guide, we NEVER would have been able to narrow down our ideas and scope of what we wanted to say into a manageable book format.”

"I highly recommend Rachel for her professional and organized approach to editing and content creation.

Some editors provide corrections for grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. Rachel does this and so much more. She encourages clarity of thought and ideas. She asked questions, listened, and challenged my thinking. This was extremely helpful, and ultimately a much better product came out of the process.”

"So happy I hired Rachel to edit my book! She totally exceeded expectations - outstanding work. Rachel helped me with a developmental and copy edit of a 30K word self-help book. Her communication at all times was prompt, professional, direct, and to the point. She did a truly outstanding edit, and the quality of her work was top notch.

​

I've dealt with several editors before and while they were good experiences, Rachel went above and beyond. She provided a very comprehensive editorial report with more detail and insight than I've ever had before. She also gave me a lot of guidance to help me become a better writer, which was very welcome as this was my first complete book. She was great at pointing out what I had done well and what I could improve, always with clear reasons how it would be an improvement. She encouraged me to develop and express my own author’s voice and helped me see when I was digressing or distracting from my main point, making my message and my self expression much clearer than in my original draft.

The book I have now is of far higher quality. It’s well-sequenced, leading my reader step by step through the important stages I wanted to convey and addressing their possible questions. I had no idea I could produce something this good and it's all thanks to Rachel's patient and professional guidance. I have various habits in my writing such as using too many examples to illustrate a point, at times coming across as bombastic, overlong sentences and digressions. Rachel helped to bring out better skills without taking away from my book being a personal reflection of my style and personality. I have been able to express myself more clearly and more authentically thanks to her objective eye and feel immensely grateful for the privilege.”

“Rachel has been a HUGE help to us with creating and editing content. She is an excellent communicator and writer, while being very detail-oriented. We are lucky to have found someone like her.”

“Having Rachel as an editor on our projects has given us so much confidence in having the best quality of written material. Her keen eye for spelling and grammatical issues, sharp mind for helpful changes, and bright, cheerful approach to both editing and working together are such a valuable addition to our team.”

"Rachel's insights – both practical and spiritual – were invaluable. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the topics helped us maintain excellence on our blog site. I highly recommend Rachel to help you with any of your writing or editing needs.”
