Testimonials
“I met Rachael at an online writing workshop several years ago and I was immediately drawn to her feedback style: She was thoughtful, thorough, and very encouraging. So when I was looking for an editor to help me polish my manuscript, she was my first choice. I love that Rachael listens to my story goals and doesn’t impose her opinions. She allows me to stay true to my vision while helping me mold my words into a better story. With her guidance, I have become a better writer. So far, I have sold two picture books (one to a Big 5 publishing house) and hope to have future successes.”

“I have been working with Rachael since 2018 and can state with total confidence how wonderful an editor she is. A pleasure to work with, Rachael is prompt and efficient in all our correspondence. She always seems to find that one missing piece to my plotlines or offers that final suggestion to take my manuscripts to a higher level. Since working with Rachael I have recently signed a deal for a 6-book children’s PB series, with more on the way! Most highly recommended!!”

“I loved working with Rachael on my picture book. I enjoyed her enthusiasm for my story, and her supportive, kind nature during our video conference. Her report is detailed, including technical writing aspects and marketability. And on top of that, she provided terrific ideas which we brainstormed during our conference. I feel like I have a clear path forward now, and would definitely recommend her service. Thank you Rachael!”

“I have nothing but high praise for Rachael. She far surpassed my expectations and forced me (in a very gentle way) to revise, revise, revise. This is the second picture book we've worked on together, and I'm extremely happy with the results for both. I recommend her highly and found her to be a delightful person as well as a fabulous, insightful editor.”
