What Writers Are Saying
Courtney M.
“Raven did an awesome job with her edits. You can visually see her professionalism on sentence structure and suggestions, as well as overall kindness that she puts out there for others. I am very thankful to come across her information and highly recommend her services.”
R. Bazylak @bazlactica
“Rae’s sample edit exceeded my expectations. To say that her instincts were spot-on is an understatement. She immediately “got” my characters, had a sense of where I was going, and offered suggestions that immediately tightened up my manuscript. If you’re searching for a qualified and passionate editor who will challenge you to make your book better, look no further.”
Chris Kennedy, bestselling author of The Theogony series
“Raven was a great help to me in developing my story. Her insightful comments forced me to re-evaluate several major plot points of my story — which I needed — and greatly improved the story’s structure. She is highly recommended!”
Belinda Ramirez
“Rae was an incredible editor for Wildflowers, helping me to rediscover and unearth some of the hidden gems I hadn’t yet shared in my telling of human trafficking survivor stories. Her approach is kind and encouraging as she draws out the best from the author and their work with persistence. I would highly recommend her to others seeking an editor who spends the time diligently to bring out the best in their writing.”
Colleen Chan
“Rae’s commentary definitely helped me figure out a new course for holes found in my writing. She is extremely professional, as well as a helpful supporting person who genuinely wants your work to shine! I now have a clearer understanding of how my characters are portrayed and how to further improve my characters and story. Rae is a great editor who wants to see you succeed and I highly recommend her!”
Author Mallory McCartney
“Working with Rae was not only a complete delight but her professionalism and knowledge about the industry editing standards is phenomenal. Her work and suggestions on Heir of Lies brought the manuscript to the polished level and I am ecstatic to continue working with her for the rest of the Black Dawn series, as well as any future works! If you are looking for a great, reliable editor—look no further.”
Susanne Lambdin, Author

Jeff Young, Author
“Raven Eckman is a very capable reviewer who provides insightful and perceptive feedback that allows your work to achieve its full potential. She is well read, which gives her greater insight into effective description, pacing and character development. Raven also respects your ideas, so her commentary and suggestions are not ones of redirection but rather strengthen the final result. She understands that editing is not destructive but rather a constructive and cooperative venture. My work is simply better due to her efforts and they are greatly appreciated.”

NE. S. Danon; Author of Moon in Bastet
“It was a blessing to have Rae as an editor. Her love of reading was apparent through the knowledge and wisdom that she imparted on my manuscript. From character development to plot holes, Rae handled every sentence with care. She gave me the brutal truth, but with a compassionate tinge. She even championed me when I felt like my manuscript was a total mess. It was because of her that my scattered thoughts became a story. All in all, totally recommend.”
Christian Freed, Author
“Raven is a class A professional. She has shredded a few of my manuscripts now and each time I get them back- once I’m done grumbling and complaining about the work she has me do- I am 100% satisfied with the product. She has a keen eye for detail, is easy to communicate with, and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with her again and again.”
Baxter Bramatti
“Raven gave me the confidence to start final improvements on my manuscript. She was in tune with my themes and my ideas and her comments and edits were spot on. I enjoyed working with her and couldn’t wait to get feedback because she maintained an encouraging editing style while providing constructive criticism. If you’re now thinking about using her services, you’re already moving in the right direction.”
Chris J. Grevemberg
“Rae’s comprehensive evaluation of my manuscript was far more than I expected. After digesting her detailed feedback, I was re-energized to revise my work. No paragraph or sentence went untouched. Every line I wrote was carefully scrutinized with helpful suggestions and comments. I appreciate and respect her honest and straightforward approach. She called out all my strong points as well as my weak ones. This left me inspired to pick up my own editing pen with a more precise sense of purpose. Since then my characters have become better developed with a far more dynamic world than before. I look forward to working with Rae on the many books I have yet to write.”
