"Not every editor can see the forest through the trees. Rachel is able to take big manuscripts and cut right to the chase, finding the core nuggets of gold to pull out and develop. She has a natural instinct for pacing, and is able to transform a story into a commercially appealing book with a keen understanding of the market. She is respectful of the author's voice and intention while challenging you to dig deeper for both impact and clarity." —Sorboni Banerjee, co-author of the Everbeach Series and ​Borderline
