Testimonials

Rebecca edited our executive summary as we prepared to raise our first round of funding. Her recommendations substantially improved the clarity and persuasiveness of our document, which was quite helpful in allowing us to communicate our vision and business in a more clear manner. In addition to the immediate benefits of a more compelling fundraising document, she also helped me to understand the reasoning behind the recommendations she made, so I was able to incorporate them into the writing I've done since. Her work was a factor in our success raising that (and a subsequent) round of funding.

Lewis Anderson, CEO and Co-Founder of Traptic

Rebecca was a key player in the development of new digital K–8 science instructional materials at TCI, Inc. Three outstanding contributions come to mind immediately. First, her background in and enthusiasm for chemistry was critical in the development of the outlines, manuscript, graphics, and related lab investigations. Second, her patience in explaining how the fundamental concepts of chemistry related to the Next Generation Science Standards helped me do my job better. Third, Rebecca’s excellent writing and editing skills meant that all the text she touched was scientifically accurate, well-organized, engaging, and highly readable by students. Moreover, her ability to meet demanding deadlines contributed to the successful on-time completion of this multi-year project.

Kim Merlino, Strategic Instructional Materials Developer

Rebecca helped me get my coaching business off the ground by editing website content, taking it from the ordinary "about me" to the extraordinary "hire me because I'm knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clever," when really those same adjectives describe her work as well. She not only sat patiently while I talked in circles about what I do (coach women) and why I love it, but helped me to distill it down to a quick soundbite and a longer narrative so that I had different pieces for my website and social platforms. None of my humor or voice was lost in the editing as I had feared before I turned to a professional. Her quick turnaround time enabled me to be relevant, plus her costs were entirely reasonable!
