Rachel provided the perfect balance of encouragement and feedback. It was just what I needed to get over the hump. I knew the manuscript had holes but I couldn't find them. Rachel sleuthed them out and gave me key suggestions that I will take with me to my next project.

Rachel hit the nail on the head of each and every issue that was holding my story back, offering constructive suggestions for how to solve them and raising pertinent questions to consider, as well as pointing out all the areas in which the story already worked and excelled. She's saved me - quite literally - years of work, in which I very possibly would not have arrived at these conclusions even then.

Rachel helped me refine my debut novel from something I wasn't overly proud of into something I felt confident enough to query. Through the entire process, she was professional, empathetic, and kind. She was also incredibly flexible when my life and day job got in the way of my edits and was willing to extend our work together so that we could really make the novel the best it could be. I felt like I had a true champion for my novel in Rachel. I liked the 'live edit' aspect of this service as I didn't feel overwhelmed with a massive edit letter. Chipping away at it in bits and pieces was definitely the style I needed in order to complete it.
