Rebecca Langley
Editor
Rebecca is professional, thorough, friendly, and by all the stars—she **knows** her editing. I would have paid double.
About Rebecca
Rebecca is an editor, teacher, and sometimes wedding singer. She loves writing, both for the musicality of words and for the stories themselves. This is also why she loves editing: people have stories to share. Helping those stories come to life is inspiring, and it is a privilege (not to mention fun). She eagerly awaits the publication of a few current projects with Standout Books.
Rebecca’s editing style could be described as actionable (here’s what you need to do) and constructive (here's what's working well, keep it up). A quick peek at her Audible playlist will testify that there's no genre she doesn't enjoy, and her editing repertoire ranges from post-apocalyptic screenplays to historical fiction to dog-lovers poetry.
When not word-crafting, Rebecca is probably having adventures in the woods with her young son, pulling tomatoes out of the garden, or jogging on the beach—very, very slowly.
Client Feedback
Here’s what a few of Rebecca’s repeat authors had to say about working with her:
Rebecca Langley's feedback and direction was exactly what I needed to get me not only on track with my manuscript but motivated to get working on her recommendations. A great investment.
Rebecca is everything you want a copyeditor to be: fast, knowledgeable and meticulous. I’ve been writing professionally for 14 years, and every time I let Rebecca get her hands on my work she makes it better.
It was as if you knew what I wanted to say by reading between the lines.
As always, I am more than satisfied with your work. I am really glad to have such a competent and perceptive editor.
She's a boost. A muse. In short, her work on my own writing is everything from educational to inspirational. My wife jokes that it takes one to two years to get to know me, so when I click with an individual from an initial consultation, I want to shout from the rooftop. From her first E-mail to the returned edited manuscript, I've felt nothing but comfort that my work is in the right hands. Rebecca is professional, thorough, friendly, and by all the stars—she **knows** her editing. I would have paid double.
