“With my manuscript, I was tired of looking at it and constantly questioned if it should be a story that even needs to be written let alone if it was something someone wanted to read. I was in Doubt Purgatory. But, I reached out to work with Becca and within the first moment of talking to her on the consultation call, I felt immediately at ease. Her assurance that stories are worth telling and that she’d be there to meet me with her evaluation prowess gave me the push to move forward and not abandon this story. When I got the evaluation back, everything was laid out efficiently and clearly that I was eager to get back to editing. I know that with her evaluation, I will be making my story, the characters, and the essence of the work stronger. The Doctor couldn’t even dream of a better working companion than you!”

“There is an abundance of insightful and valuable feedback that will only help me strengthen the characters’ arcs, which in turn will strengthen the story itself.
“Having a second set of eyes on a story, especially from someone who is dedicated to character development and reader connection, is truly a wonderful thing to be had.
“This is what I was looking for in an editor and I got it. Becca went above and beyond, and I appreciate with all my heart the care and thought she put into the edit.
“100/10 experience.”

“Becca’s insight on my novel was incredibly valuable and constructive. As writers we are often so close to our stories and projects that we can’t see our own blind spots and Becca beautifully points them out in the most supportive way. Her feedback is in depth and covers all essential elements of your story from character arcs to possible plot holes or questions readers may have. She will champion your story and characters and truly cares about making your work the best it can possibly be. I feel more confident with the final draft of my story after her feedback and guidance, and look forward to publishing soon.”

“As this was my first completed draft of writing, I knew I had to have professional eyes on it to help me transform and improve it, but was wary of approaching an editor, for fear of it being too amateur to be worthy!
“However, having chatted to Becca before submitting, receiving the incredibly detailed, and on point feedback, I truly could not have asked for more. It’s like she was able to tap into exactly what I was needing for MY work – it felt so personal and attentive.
“I already feel fired up to get going and, rather than viewing the next draft as a list of dull chores to tick off a list, I am so excited to start, and can envision how my characters are going to be so much stronger and how much tighter and entertaining my story will be.”

The editing process can be tough and it’s really important to find someone who can see all the strength in a manuscript and work with you to make it even better. Becca has such a lovely balance of professionalism and empathy that it gets you really excited to dive back into the edits for your story. I’ll definitely be working with her on future books in the series!”

“I was excited when I hired Becca, because I knew she had a keen eye for story telling and a devotion to sci-fi and fantasy that made her a perfect fit for critiquing my manuscript. She had great ideas, pointed out the ways to strengthen my characters and plot, as well as provided insight into the story in ways I hadn’t seen yet as the author. I feel so confident as I head into edits, Becca even made an easy to follow list of what I should approach next in my edits and how to proceed.”

“Becca was a joy to work with! I attended two of her workshops on fantasy writing and learned so much from her, so when it was time to find a professional beta reader I knew I had to work with her. Becca read through my entire manuscript and provided detailed feedback on the aspects of my story that she liked and where I could improve. Her comments were so constructive and encouraging. She even finished beta reading sooner than expected! I can’t wait to work with Becca again in the future and trust her editing and beta reading expertise.”

“I’ve always been really self-conscious about sharing my writing, but Becca has such an encouraging presence. She delivers constructive criticism in a kind way that actually felt empowering. I came out of the meeting with a better sense of the story I wanted to tell. All the points she made were valid and helpful, and I’m sure my book will be better for it. Looking forward to dropping her name in the acknowledgements!”

“Before I started working with Becca, I was feeling frustrated and a little lost in my usual writing process. I knew about my characters and where I wanted things to go, but not how to execute them. I decided to take a chance on book coaching and see what story planning could do for me. The questions and thoughts Becca provided made me dig deeper in areas I hadn’t previously thought to explore in my story, helping me bring my story and the characters to life.”

“Before using Becca’s manuscript evaluation services, I was overwhelmed and frustrated on how to move forward in making my revisions for my YA paranormal romance project. I was especially stuck on the character arc in one of the POVs I was working with. Now, I feel very motivated and Becca helped me really see the bigger picture and the brainstorming / coaching call with her helped me to find the ways to make the manuscript better, and I’m excited to get back on it! I’m feeling confident, and eager to get back to writing, all thanks to Becca! I couldn’t have done it without her help! Thank you, Becca! You are awesome!”
