Janae

Author of The Witches Prophecy

“I had been searching the internet for a competent editor. I tried several editors and either didn’t catch blatant errors or tried to rewrite my work. It wasn’t until I happened upon Rebecca on Upwork that I was completely overjoyed. She not only did excellent as a proofreader but she also included some developmental suggestions. I was highly impressed by her attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond to help me create the best version of my novel. I am overjoyed I met her and she fit me into her schedule. I was also impressed by her rates and her willingness to work with me on my budget. She is a true gem.”

“Working with Rebecca opened my eyes to focus more on detail when it comes to describing the actions of characters. She has worked on my first book of a series – The Hunters – and I was pleased how we quickly understood each other. Rebecca did not only fix all the errors in my fantasy romance, a young adult novel, but she also gave very good advice and tips on how I can improve my book for publishing. She is a good editor and I would gladly use her service again in the future soon on my following books”

“Five star ⭐ service. Always use Rebecca for any of my work. Rebecca has assisted with all kinds of work such as book, academic articles and blogs I always have a clear idea of timelines and as well as detailed feedback on any changes etc amongst other helpful suggestions. Great value for money and lovely friendly service!”

Maurice Draine

“Rebecca is the REAL DEAL! She promises quality and detail and over-delivers by a lot. She went through my first draft with a fine-tooth comb and found areas of improvement I hadn’t seen. I had some points I had questions about, but never told her, and she still found the issues on her own.

My DEV Summary was so detailed that it blew me away. I will use Rebecca for DEV editing for each novel I write moving forward.”

Savannah Staley

Rebecca did an incredible job editing and proofreading my first novel. Working with her was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She was patient, professional, and always clear about her timeline, which made the entire process smooth and stress‑free. The quality of her work and feedback made a real difference. She left thoughtful comments throughout my manuscript with specific suggestions and tips for improvement, and her detailed report helped me identify gaps and resolve small plot holes I hadn’t noticed. Her kindness and expertise are unmatched, and I’m genuinely excited to work with her again. 5/5 stars. I can’t recommend Rebecca enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Henri Belleville

I can’t say enough good things about working with Rebecca Holmes. From the moment she started editing Pope’s Justice, it was clear she genuinely cared about the story and its success.

Her feedback helped me tighten my writing, strengthen my chapters, and improve the overall flow of the book. She has a great eye for detail and knows exactly how to elevate a manuscript without losing the author’s voice.

As a first-time author, her guidance made a huge difference in bringing this book to life. I’m incredibly grateful for her work and would absolutely recommend her to any writer.
