"Rebecca's analysis was fantastic and thorough. Her edit recommendations truly saved my goose, and reading the text again brought tears to my eyes – good tears!"

— Pirela L. Cross, Author of A Journey into the Himalayas: Flannel, Flights and Footprints


"I entrusted the manuscript of my newest book to Rebecca E. Schmuck for feedback as a beta reader, the last step before publication. She did a great job of proofreading, finding some errors I had missed despite reading it dozens of times. More importantly, she was able to offer observations about the overall structure and organization of the book as well as the emotional impact, letting me see the effect my work might have on readers in the general public. Rebecca's critique helped me to understand what in the story was working—and fix what wasn’t. I was able to go back and see my work through her eyes in making those critical, final edits. I highly recommend Rebecca and The Write Author to anyone seeking editing, proofreading, or general feedback."
