“Rita is an excellent copy editor who made many invaluable improvements to my stories”
Rita is an excellent copy editor who made many invaluable improvements to my stories. She is reliable, WordPress and Slack-savvy, and a pleasure to work with. She’s also a whole lot of fun. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rita, as she has been a valuable member of our team at 925. If you get to work with Rita, then you’re lucky.

“Her love of the dynamics of the English language… shines through in her work…”
During her time as a copyeditor for the 9to5 network, I found Rita to be one of the most thorough and diligent people I’ve ever had as a colleague. Her love of the dynamics of the English language, and especially the AP Stylebook, shines through in her work and communication skills. Rita is also always eager to teach those who are willing to learn, making her an invaluable asset to any team.

“She’s a fantastic editor whose keen eyes catch even the smallest of errors…”
Rita was one of the freelance copyeditors I contracted during my role as Senior Fiction Editor for Inkitt, Inc. and GALATEA Fiction. She aced our extremely tough editing test and completed nearly a dozen assignments for Inkitt during my time with the company. She’s a fantastic editor whose keen eyes catch even the smallest of errors, and she also provided great developmental and sensitivity notes. I would be thrilled to work with her again when I’m next in a position to hire freelance editors!

“Rita is a talented editor and a true professional”
Rita is a talented editor and a true professional. She has helped me to find the golden nuggets in a haystack by providing me with valuable suggestions on how to improve the story and make it better. She has created an easy-to-understand report, divided into sections, which clearly highlighted the strengths and weaknesses. I have worked with other beta readers, but nothing compared to what she has done for me. Thank you, Rita.

“Rita did a wonderful job”
I initially met Rita when she was a student in one of my copyediting classes. I was so impressed with her dedication and knowledge that I later asked her to edit some work with sensitive language, for a presentation that would be seen by more than 100 other editorial people. Rita did a wonderful job. She was diligent and exact. I would highly recommend her services as a proofreader.
