Testimonials

Book Manuscript

"Rachel ranks as the best assistant in my 40 years as a writer and teacher. I could not recommend her more highly. After her sterling performance as a writer and thinker in my class on Clint Eastwood, I hired Rachel as my research and editorial assistant for my book with Eerdman's Press: The Ethical Vision of Clint Eastwood.  She has surpassed my already-high expectations. Not only does she show confident familiarity with the fine points of grammar and syntax, but as a well-read intellectual, she is able to critique content and suggest more effective ways to craft arguments."
-Sara Vaux, Ph.D., Northwestern religion professor and director of the Office of Fellowships

High School Writing: For Class, College & Beyond

"I have had the opportunity to experience Rachel's editing process throughout several literary review essays, personal writings, and college application essays. She invests herself completely in your work, and escalates your ability to communicate through writing to a new level. Most editors simply look at structure and punctuation; Rachel evaluates the soul of your essay and helps elucidate all the perspectives on what you are trying to convey to your reading audience."
