Every author deserves a champion, so from coaching and developmental editing to proofreading, I’m here for you. Hi, I’m Rae!
I’m a freelance editor and writing coach with a passion for speculative fiction. I work with independent authors and publishers at any stage of writing and manuscript preparation to guide them toward a finished result that’s ready for readers.
Think of me as your personal cheerleader, the confidante you can entrust your hopes, dreams, doubts, and fears to. I want to help you work toward your goals and overcome your challenges without judgment so you’re left with a book to be proud of that’s entirely yours.
Are you ready to level-up your process, polish your words, and share your writing with the world?
I offer a place for writers to learn and grow, where you can get your intentions on the page with confidence, explore every idea, ask every question, and dig deep to figure out what makes your manuscript tick. Most importantly, every idea on the page will be yours, the story told as you intended. My job is not to tell you what to write, but to guide you through your ideas and help you learn the best strategies and techniques to tell your story.
Respect
Empathy
Transparency
If these values are important to you, too, then let’s get editing.
Rachel’s edits and comments were detailed and helpful. Her editorial review covered so many aspects of the novels development and characterization. Her feedback will be so helpful when going through with the editing. I can’t wait to work with her further on this project and others.

Rae approaches others’ works with mirrored enthusiasm and an organic ability to place herself in the author’s voice to successfully supplement theories, questions, and ideas. She is as adept an editor as she is a reader, surprising me several times over by picking up and expanding upon eccentric details that may become lost on others. It continues to be an honor to work with her!
