If you’re looking for an editor who will cradle your manuscript like a newborn while also delivering the necessary tough love, look no further than Becky Wallace! She took my book, Under the Monarch Moon, and gave it the editorial equivalent of a deep tissue massage. Firm, thorough, and incredibly effective (minus the pain, plus a lot of clarity).

Her turnaround time? Lightning fast. I half expected her to send back my manuscript before I finished hitting “send.” Her notes? Insightful, detailed, and—dare I say—borderline psychic? She didn’t just catch the obvious grammatical slip-ups; she saw the moments where my plot meandered, where my characters needed a reality check, and where my prose could go from “good” to “grab-a-tissue-because-wow.”

The Editorial Letter she provided wasn’t just a list of critiques though. It was a roadmap to a better book, sprinkled with encouragement and the kind of wisdom that makes you wonder if she moonlights as a literary oracle. And let’s not forget her notes on the draft itself. I’m convinced she left no comma unexamined, no awkward sentence unchallenged, and no unnecessary adverb unmarked for execution. Even with our original formatting hiccups (damn you Mac)

But perhaps the best part? Becky edits with the perfect balance of professionalism and personality. She’s honest without being harsh, brilliant without being pretentious, and fast without sacrificing quality. Honestly, I suspect sorcery is involved, but I’m too grateful to ask questions. So thanks Becky!

If you need an editor who is as skilled as she is efficient, as thorough as she is kind, and as invested in your book as you are—hire Becky. Do it, ok? Just don’t be surprised when you find yourself wondering how you ever wrote without her. Boom. 5 stars, and then some! -Wesley E.

Becky is an absolute genius! I initially chose her as my editor because she really got to the point of the story. She knew how to be direct and not beat around the bush with corrections or suggestions. Not only did she point out the problems within the story, but she provides solutions that don’t overwhelm the author. She is precise in her corrections and offers explanations for each edit made. Her response time is quick and she is always willing to help if there are questions along the way.

Absolutely amazing! I came into this with relatively standard expectations, but Becky went above and beyond and beat them. Her editorial letter and notes were made in respect to the story and while pointing out both the flaws and strengths in the manuscript. She even ended up giving me ideas within it that helped me put into perspective things that I was struggling with. Becky was also extremely responsive with everything and we even were able to discuss through video call any questions and concerns that I had. In all, I have to say that my work is way better off after having Becky work her magic. If you feel your story fits her profile, I highly recommend, even if there is a small wait. I was so anxious waiting half a month for her to be able to start and a month for her to get back with the edit itself, but boy was it worth it! Will definitely be using her again!
