Rachel is an amazing professional. Great English and editorial skills, but even more important very easy to work with, highly responsible and always goes the extra mile. As Yoda says, there is no try, there is only do or do not. Rachel always does. And I love the people skills she brings along with her strong technical skills. I look forward to being one of her clients in the coming years.
Rachel is a lifesaver. Truly. She’s edited several children’s stories for me and gives the most observant and thoughtful feedback. She’s never afraid of telling me what she really thinks – and she’s always right. I worked with two professional editors before finding Rachel. It's invaluable to have a decisive, analytical editor who provides real vision and shrewd insightfulness, rather than just positive reinforcement
and platitudes. Many times, I’ve been too frustrated to go forward and, after a patient suggestion or two from Rachel, I find myself right back on the right track.
Rachel is the only reason I finished my first children’s book, and it's a million times better for having had her offer patient counsel and consistently solid suggestions. Many editors provide excellent proofreading skills. Rachel does that, but more importantly, she offers excellent copy, line, and developmental editing. She’s got an eagle-eye, her taste is flawless, and she gives insight above and beyond that of a traditional editor. I’d be lost without her.
Rachel is a hard worker, and her talent manifests it. She made a reputation for accomplishing projects at an exceptional quality. She has an eye for details that’s beyond the average professional writer. She is truly a master at her craft, but she is also humble about it. This quality has made her an exceptional collaborator. If you are looking to hire her services, she won’t disappoint.
Rachel is a skilled editor. She understands the dynamics of language and persuasive writing. She is excellent at editing, always using the perfect balance of critique and compliment to motivate writers. Every writer that works with her loves her, which is a lot to say about an editor. Her talent for copyediting, content editing, and writing are exceptional. Plus, Rachel’s attitude toward work is always upbeat and hard working. Any person or company would find her to be a beloved employee.
“Rachel is a top-notch instructor. She has done much to consistently serve her students and her instructors. She has been a valuable member of the BYU-I online instructor team. She is one of my favorite colleagues, a true mentor to others, and a good friend. She is a team player who is positive with everyone around her. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Rachel anytime. I’ve overseen supervision of thousands of instructors and worked closely with nearly a hundred of them. I can honestly say Rachel Wilde is in the top 5% of a fantastic field of the online instructors and leaders I know.”
