Rachel Small

Testimonials

I've been the beneficiary of Rachel’s ongoing editing for over two years. My business book is essentially a collection of short stories, which means that Rachel has been able to edit it story by story as I’ve completed each one.

In my case, “editing” means the unenviable task of not only correcting my grammar and syntax, but also culling my verbosity. The excellence with which she achieves this speaks to her capabilities as an editor. After each edit I glow with pride as a cabinet maker might after an expert has polished his latest creation to give it the finish he couldn’t quite achieve himself.

Without doubt, the fact that this book is finally nearing completion is in no small measure due to Rachel’s editing skills, patience, and professionalism. I definitely couldn’t have done it without her.

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!
