“This would never have happened without you. Thank you for helping me write the vision.”
Christie Cox
Author – Tuggle of Warriors
“As a first-time author, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sought out an editor to do a plot review. Fortunately, I found Rachel Hills, and I was delighted with her feedback. Rachel evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of my novel and gave me ideas on how to further develop the story through varied pacing and character development. From our discussions, I learned a lot about plot structure and outline that will be valuable to me in the future. Thank you, Rachel!”
