"Rachel Shields has been a valuable help in preparing my manuscripts for publication. Her suggestions on structure, tone, and grammar were thoughtful and encouraging and resulted in better organized content with a more fluid plot. She indicated problem areas with tact which was most appreciated. Anyone looking for a competent editor and/or reviewer would not be disappointed in choosing Rachel for your team." --Youcef Stambouli, independent author
