Testimonials

Working with Rebecca Sutherland, my book, Sapling's Aurora, has become a must-read. I had a draft manuscript and hired Rebecca for a developmental edit. She could pinpoint several elements that needed revision to make a stronger book. She provided clear, specific and actional feedback - and plenty of encouragement! After the revisions, my whole story flowed much more organically and the recommended changes made my characters - and villains - feel much more authentic. I recommend any writer looking to create the best version of their work get in touch with Rebecca.

Sapling's Aurora out now!

Rebecca was very clear and explained things with examples. I also got the feeling that she was on my side and wanted things to work, which was for me personally the biggest plus, since that motivated me too.

Working with Rebecca was an eye-opening experience of the best kind. The developmental edit was respectful but thorough and got me where I needed to be for a rewrite of this magnitude. Thank you!

Choosing Rebecca to assess my work was the best decision I could have made.

She easily grasped the concept behind the story, and explained very clearly how I could (and should) make it a more powerful and interesting tale. She did this with a thoroughness and insight which impressed me greatly.

I can absolutely recommend Rebecca to writers who are looking for inspiration to produce great work.

I read your notes and my brain kicked into overdrive. Sat up a bit late last night writing notes to fix some of the issues.

Am I feeling inspired? Yes. But I'm also feeling challenged.

I'm very appreciative of the notes given. They're pushing me to do better and consider things about the story.

Worth it.

Rebecca really helped me push my manuscript to be the best version of itself! She helped me find places where things felt flat, and gave me some great advice for things I could implement to make my story, characters and setting shine! Would 100% recommend any authors looking to polish their manuscript get in touch with Rebecca.

The Sharp Edge of Fate out now!

My collaboration with Rebecca was extremely valuable and professional. I initially requested a manuscript assessment for a first draft, and she completed the assessment in a timely manner and with an objective approach. Also, while Rebecca’s assessment was critical, it was constructive and not discouraging or disheartening. Her quality and professionalism were very appreciated!
