Testimonials

“Rebecca edited my first book. She more than edited it, she supported and encouraged me at every stage of the journey. Believe me, when it’s your first, you need a lot of support and I certainly got it. She has a generous heart, expects a lot and gets results. I highly recommend her.”

Judith Te Huia, author of Achievable Enlightenment

“When you hand over your stories to Rebecca, she helps guide and transform your pieces into works of art. Her ability to understand the heart of your story, combined with her editing brilliance and creativity allows you to continually develop your work while staying true to your vision.”

Franca Caradonna, author and Director of Little Extensions

“Rebecca’s blend of a relaxed, warm and humorous disposition alongside her savvy and astute editorial expertise has been very encouraging and helpful for me to steer my various projects in the right direction. She has a gift with giving suggestions, understanding your style and purpose and moving you swiftly out of writer’s block or a technical hitch. Working with Rebecca is more like ‘play’, she has an infectious humour and excitement, so the whole editing and publishing process of your work becomes a pleasure in her professional hands. I found her reliable and her understanding of the publishing process and grasp of contemporary dynamics in the industry to be rock-solid. Her feedback is informed and global, and she can see the bigger picture. She is nothing short of an empathic, vibrant and astute powerhouse. I feel so privileged to have her as my editor.”
