Hear what authors and publishing professionals around the world say about my work

Rebecca clearly read my novel with great care, which was obvious by the detail with which she was able to comment on certain subtle aspects of it. This was important to me and she afforded me that respect. She gave clear guidance and consolidated it with neat examples which will be a great help to me as a novice author. She did everything she promised and more. I am looking forward to the challenge of implementing her recommendations. She was very encouraging and I could not be more pleased. Thank you very much, Rebecca, for your excellent work and kind words about my novel.

As a first-time writer, writing a historical fiction novel has been great fun, but time consuming and more work than I Imagined it would be. What started out as a hobby, became a bit of an obsession. Then, eventually a whole first draft! Having made it this far, I decided on seeking professional help to take it to the next level, and I have just received Rebecca's full editing notes, and I'm gobsmacked! There is so much great feedback and the report is so comprehensive, I now feel like I can turn this story of mine into something special. I'm sure Rebecca works with professionals most of the time, so I was a bit daunted being a first-time writer, but Rebecca has completely met me at my level to help me with this and exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended.

Rebecca made many valuable observations and I've incorporated all her recommendations into the next draft. Her market summary is valuable as well. I'd use her again for further writing projects.

Working with Rebecca has been an excellent experience. As a new author unsure of how to approach submissions I have found her expertise clear, concise and practical. Writing a novel is hard enough. You want your work to be received in the best possible way when submitted, so engaging a professional to help polish it up is crucial. I will be working with Rebecca again!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rebecca Jamieson on my debut novel. She was full of so many great ideas about how to improve the manuscript, and her enthusiasm for my characters, knowledge of the editorial process, and insight into what makes a good novel, all vastly improved my writing.
