Rachel and I collaborated on all my novels—three manuscripts—and her insight and feedback truly elevated each story to the next level. I am now a #1 bestselling and award-winning author of a manuscript she copyedited. Rachel responds to all my questions promptly, consistently delivers on time, and upholds an exceptional level of professionalism. Her editing is thorough and clear, her feedback and comments are skillful and empowering, and she provided me with a detailed style sheet.

As a novice writer, I searched for an editor who possessed both professional skills and outstanding personal qualities. Rachel exceeded my expectations. She was fast, yet she did not miss anything. Her knowledge, experience, and insight shone. And she provided her service with sincere interest and support. Before we began, she listened to my concerns and gathered information about my goals and style. She is a thoughtful, warm, and patient person – someone I felt an immediate bond with. I look forward to working with her on future projects!

Rachel Small is a treasure. Her proofreading work on my guidance documentation and web copy was spot-on, and she was always friendly and approachable while ensuring clarity, accuracy and consistency. Even editors need fresh eyes on the words they write, and Rachel’s insightful suggestions and tactful comments made the process a joy. I highly, highly recommend her!

I loved working with Rachel Small. She was professional every step of the way, correcting my grammar and punctuation and giving me great notes on character, dialogue, and timeline. What I appreciated most was her availability after she’d completed her copy edit. Through email and phone, she was patient with my questions and gave me satisfying answers.

Rachel makes me look good. My newspaper articles went from good to great once Rachel took over. In some cases they needed to be shortened without losing clarity, and she really knew how to do that.

– Susan Toy, Author

I am very new to the world of writing. After doing some research and Googling “editors,” I was faced with a huge array of options. Rachel just seemed to stand out in the crowd, and I couldn’t have chosen any better. The biggest question I had was “Will anyone understand what I am writing?” Not only did she understand, she created exactly what I was looking for in a manuscript.

– Bob Chomany, Author
