Working with Rita was an incredibly enjoyable and supportive experience.”

Working with Rita was an incredibly enjoyable and supportive experience. Her thoroughness and attention to detail elevated my manuscript. But what truly set her apart was the depth of her feedback—Rita doesn’t just edit, she educates. Her comments were thoughtful, clear, and even included sensitivity and fact checks. I look forward to working with her again and recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated editor.

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.

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.

I trust her judgment with any copy that passes through her hands.”

I cannot recommend Rita enough! Working with her is like having a really effective editorial insurance policy. I trust her judgment with any copy that passes through her hands. She carefully reviews everything behind the scenes, from minutiae to the big picture, catching things that most others would brush off. She is meticulous, thorough, efficient, and applies a compassionate approach to sensitive questions. She’s also a joy to work with: good-natured with a great sense of humor, highly collaborative, dependable, and transparent. All of these things matter when building trust and a positive rapport with your editor. Her work on CNET’s copy desk has been critical to upholding robust standards. Plus, she is a pro at handling new technical challenges and troubleshooting as part of a team. Rita has all the skills to continue excelling as a top-notch proofreader and copy editor.
