“With minimal instruction and great instincts, Rachel tackled feature stories, biographies, social media messaging preparation, preliminary video-script selection, and careful editing of our case for support. She took pressure off me, as the sole communications specialist on staff directing external resources, and delivered exceptional work on time and on budget.”

“Rachel Cooper is always a pleasure to work with and consistently delivers quality content within the parameters of the assignment. Rachel takes the time to ask the right questions on the front end, takes the time to truly understand the assignment and our objectives ahead of delivery, and has gone above and beyond to deliver great work with minimal back-and-forth. She has worked on short-turnaround requests and longer term projects as well – either way she's a valuable resource.”

“Rachel was contracted in the late Summer/early Fall 2021 to research and write 50+ pages for our new regional marketing website. It was a tight timeline to complete all the research and writing, but Rachel worked quickly within the timeframe and met our deadline. Her quality of work, knowledge of the region and ability to know exactly how we wanted the website content to be written exceeded our expectations. Rachel was reliable, quick to respond and committed. She always made sure she understood what we needed to convey. The quality of her writing and her work overall was outstanding. It was a delight to work with her.”

She provided careful, quality editing, and made revisions in clear, concise language that strengthened our case throughout the document.

Rachel was the midwife Rise [working title of Gabriel's Great Perhaps] needed!”

“Rachel came highly recommended from one of my athletes' parents who has self-published and worked with Rachel. This was my first experience working with an editor, and I am very pleased with the experience. Rachel was patient and took the time to answer all my questions. She took my book/manual – mental performance training – to the next level, was thorough with the edits and comments, and did so in a timely manner. The overall experience was fantastic. I will be recommending her services to anyone who asks about editing.”
