What My Clients Say

Ruth is honest and clear, and as good at spotting when you’ve gone too far as she is at coaxing you when you haven’t gone far enough. If there are problems in your work that you’re aware of but can’t quite articulate, she can get inside of them, name them and provide solutions. She brings attention to the problems you’re not aware of in a confident, succinct manner that may cause you to see all future sentences with more-evolved eyes. Aside from being able to make your writing better and make you a better writer, she is also just really nice to talk to.

Ruth is a treasure! I came to her with an extremely rough draft for a manuscript and through several content edits, she's helped me find my literary voice. She pushed me to explore themes I hadn't even thought of and was honest when certain parts needed reconsidering. It is absolutely well worth the time, and she will invest her heart in your story. I very much enjoy working with Ruth. I know you will too!

~ Najiba Hlemi, author of upcoming memoir The Making of Cocoa

In 2020 I decided to write a short memoir which included a lot of honest and painful memories. After our introductory conversation I knew that Ruth would be a good editing partner. She was sensitive to the content and great at reviewing the overall shape of the story. I was particularly grateful for her thoughtful recommendations on where I could take a ‘less is more’ approach. In addition, I very much appreciated her detailed edits to ensure a high-quality manuscript. Ruth made the editing process simple and delivered to all agreed timescales. I hope we can work together again in the future.

I’ve been a full-time writer for over 17 years. Whether I’m writing for adults, grade school children or any age in-between, a good editor always makes my writing stronger and easier to sell. Ruth has been editing my work for years. Anytime I want help on a manuscript, Ruth’s input and developmental edits help me bring clarity to the plot or theme. And her expert copyediting cleans up my writing. If you’re a writer that needs a talented editor, Ruth is an excellent choice.

~ Emily Allen, author of the upcoming middle-grade historical fiction, A Friend of the Enemy
