“Finding Raquel was a dream come true . . . believing/hoping that my series was near the finish line for indie-publishing, I engaged Raquel to take the books over the line, including flagging sensitivity issues I might have missed or mishandled. What I got was not only detailed and insightful commentary on the manuscripts, but also incredibly valuable developmental suggestions. At every step along the way, her insight was thoughtful, supported with examples from the text and accompanied by a roadmap for finding my way forward. I feel her as an amazing partner in the messy process of bringing inspiration to completed manuscript and can't wait to work with her again.”

“Her preparation was exemplary and thorough, asking pertinent questions about my vision for the novel, ensuring the critique would support that vision. It gave me confidence that my work was in safe hands. . . . I could see her journey through the MS, what had bumped her out of the narrative, her reactions to my characters, and a SWOT-like analysis. Raquel's coaching style is to challenge through questions, which worked really well for me. Raquel is a 5-star and a complete professional.”

“She went line by line and could tell exactly what was working and what wasn't… it was incredibly helpful and there were so many things I hadn't considered.
The edits were both small like which words, commas, hyphens worked and didn't, which sentences were unnecessary, as well as large scale. It was very insightful and
I was lucky to have her help.”
