I can’t recommend Rebecca highly enough. I’m in awe of how she managed to take our voices and deeply personal stories and seamlessly weave them together with academic research, expert interviews, and referenced works. The result was a book that feels both raw and authentic, yet also rigorously informed and impactful. Beyond her skill as a writer, Rebecca was an absolute joy to collaborate with – professional, empathetic, and endlessly patient. She truly understood what we wanted to achieve and helped us bring it to life in a way that exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for someone who can capture nuance, navigate sensitive topics with care, and elevate your story into something extraordinary, Rebecca is the one.

It gives me great pleasure to recommend Rebecca Pillsbury. She has a rare gift among editors: to make you sound like yourself only better. From macro issues, like narrative flow and chapter sequencing, to line by line edits, she proves herself to be creative, conscientious, and exhaustively thorough. She knows just how to weed out the irrelevant and strengthen the essential. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Working with Rebecca is like signing up for therapy you didn’t know you needed. Rebecca does not write your story, she gets the story out of you. This ensures that the final outcome is genuine and truly represents the facts. Her willingness to dive into one’s experience and culture ensures that the story remains authentic. I highly recommend Rebecca for a guaranteed good product. Thank you, Rebecca, and may God bless you always.

I knew I had a story to tell—and that I needed to write it myself. I’ve never considered myself a writer, so I was terrified when I submitted my manuscript! Being paired with Rebecca as my editor was truly a gift from the universe. She encouraged me to go deeper and used her editing magic to make my story flow with ease. I’m forever grateful for her patience, guidance, and most importantly, her heart.

Rebecca, your passion, commitment, dedication, and guidance in this journey has been so immense and unmatched. I would not have progressed with this book without your support. The Saturday evening sessions with you were such a blessing and, in some cases, so emotional that we had to take time out. You helped me dig into my soul. Thank you, Rebecca. I am indebted to you.

It has been nothing but joyful to work with Rebecca. I feel so fortunate that fate steered me to you. You have a special gift and you are using it beautifully. I can’t imagine a better experience all around. Thank you from the bottom (and top) of my heart.

I refer to Rebecca as my book midwife. I had been working on a draft in fits and starts for nearly eight years prior to meeting her. In the course of six short, focused, productive and tiring months I found myself with a completed draft ready for submissions. Rebecca provided direction when and where I got stuck and feedback to clarify and refine the quality and cohesiveness of my voice and my overall message. In short, not unlike the midwife who helped me birth my two small children, I could not have completed my memoir without her insightful and nurturing wisdom and perspective.

There were three editors I looked at as potential partners for a memoir manuscript I’d labored over for years, but Rebecca soon became the obvious and enthusiastic choice. It was hugely gratifying to hear that she GOT IT! I was actually astonished—it was like she could read my mind. Rebecca was the perfect person to entrust. Her deft touch, attention, and collaboration with this first-time author gave me confidence in the process. Rebecca truly is a master of her craft and I will be forever thankful for this experience working with her. The process has been life changing!

My memoir had been simmering for a long time before I finally decided I needed help to bring my work to fruition. I contacted a few editors before talking to Rebecca. My intuition immediately told me I had found the right person to help. And that intuition was correct! Rebecca and her wonderful team of professionals helped me develop my story into the book that is now in print. The whole team was responsive and provided the support and encouragement I needed. I am very happy with my book, and I would highly recommend Rebecca and her expert team.

Working with Rebecca was a supportive and generative experience. Her insight and advice helped shape and complete my work. Best of all, I learned to appreciate my work through new eyes so that repeated editing and revision felt refreshing. I heartily recommend Rebecca.
