"A talented editor for the minutiae and big-picture alike."

She’s worked on the editorial teams of several magazines, compiling sci-fi/fantasy short stories with Leading Edge and nonfiction travel articles with Stowaway. Rochelle has seven years of experience editing, formerly in corporate settings — rest easy knowing your work is thrilling in comparison. She’s the friend you ask how to spell meringue if a squiggly red line can’t offer advice.

What Clients Say
Amazing! 100% enjoyable and straightforward. Everything was great! Even when I had to delay moving forward… it was very easy to negotiate timing.
Rochelle’s editing style is thoughtful, encouraging and comprehensive. She is thorough and has great attention to detail. When Rochelle suggests changes she doesn’t automatically think she is right, she is open to discussion with the author. Her comments provided good balance by showing what I was doing well, not just what I had to correct. I appreciated the references to articles, where I was able to learn and improve my writing technique. I would be happy to work with her again in the future.
