I’ve got an amazing editor who pretty much taught me to write novels […] I’m eternally grateful to Rebecca […] She basically drilled [all the bad habits of being a screenwriter] out of me gently, and held my hand through the first book. I’ve used her ever since.”

"I count myself lucky to have worked with Rebecca on my debut, Black Water Rising, and consider her one of my writing family now. Rebecca has such a keen eye not just for those missing words or misplaced commas, but for those inevitable bits and pieces that cause contradictions in the editing process. I can't thank Rebecca enough..."

"I’ve worked with a lot of editors over the years, and Rebecca is up there with the very best. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever had such detailed, insightful notes that just made everything so much better. Her feedback left me inspired, energized and confident in what I needed to do next and all the 5 star reviews (and great sales) are down to her. Thank you."
