About this Gig

As a freelance developmental editor, I have spent the last five years working with authors to improve their storytelling. I have strengthened my ability to provide the most articulate and helpful feedback possible by studying under writing coaches. SciFi and Fantasy are my personal favorite genres to read, and I know what is trending in those genres today.


Sharing your work with a stranger is an incredibly vulnerable process, and I promise to honor that vulnerability by sharing honest, helpful feedback. I will always suggest improvements when I find an area of concern, and will not avoid hard conversations.


A developmental edit is used to prepare for the next phase of rewrites on your manuscript. This type of edit provides suggestions to improve your writing at a fundamental level, rather than focusing on grammar or minor stylistic issues.


Each developmental edit includes (2) online meetings as needed, (2) readthroughs of your manuscript, in-line comments and critiques of specific passages and areas of concern, and a detailed editorial letter explaining suggestions for rewrites and opportunities for improvement.


First chapter sample edits available for $50.

    Rachel is easy to work with. She took my messy first draft that Ive been working on, and provided many good areas to improve in. Id never given my sci fi book to any one to read before, so, I was excited for this. See what its like to be given that much of a fine-toothed read. Rachel is thorough, pointing...
