Dave Rebbitt
The Globur Incursion, Indie
My editing expertise transformed Dave Rebbitt's military sci-fi series, "The Globur Incursion," into award-winning works. By combining line editing with developmental feedback, I ensured consistency, polished prose, and compelling storytelling, making his complex worlds both accessible and engaging.
“I like your ideas and know that implementing them will make for a richer story. You really are good at digging into a story. Some of your comments make me laugh, but most make me think. That is what I have enjoyed and appreciated the most. You take each sentence and expose it for what it is worth. I'm really excited to make this an even better story.”
— Rebecca Bryan, Author
“Seriously, I can't believe you came up with this amount of detail in such a short amount of time. This is all incredibly helpful! I wanted to let you know how impressed I was. I have never received an edit letter with more detail and I have NEVER received an edit letter that made me so hopeful and really want to dig into the story. Usually my edit letters just make me want to consume chocolate and burn everything I've ever written. Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but seriously you are VERY good at this. ”
— Jennifer Shaw Wolf, YA Suspense Author
“After I got over the first few traumatic bouts of [your editing], I realized you are quite good at it. I wouldn't call your editing mean, but the aggressive honesty does feel akin to being hit over the head with a mace in a very constructive manner. I will not lie, it leaves you dazed for a bit.”
— R.M. Dooley, Author and Artist
“I was stuck when I sent you my manuscript. My plot points were jumbled and the story was stalled. Thank you for the incredible amount of thought you put into understanding my character’s world and for your suggestions. You know the nuts and bolts of editing, but it’s your curiosity and desire to learn that make you stellar. I’m forever grateful!”
— Sarah Showell, YA Author
“I won this writing contest for my local writers' group and, when it came time for the head of the group to edit the story for publication in the anthology, I nearly cried. Her edits totally changed the voice of the characters, meanings of words and phrases, etc. I can't explain to you how angry I was/am. It was so not cool. I guess it's funny in an ironic way because it made me think of you and how well you try to understand what the story is trying to say, rather than change it so that it means something completely different.
Anyway, it's funny because I'm glad that I found an editor like you who can steamroll my work and make me feel good about it.”
— Dakota Rayne, Speculative Fiction Author and Anthology Editor
“You must be a machine. The way you think is very interesting and I think by expanding and implementing many of the ideas presented here, the book will go to the next level! This is honestly such good feedback wow! Very excited. You’re a star.”
— M.B. Kruger, Sci-fi Author and Coaching Client

— Ash Ivy, Fantasy Author and Coaching Client
“I just wanted to say thank you for all of the help and inspiration you have given to me. You have truly challenged and encouraged me as a writer. That is a powerful combination and also a rarity. You are always so kind, funny, and helpful. It has been a great experience getting to work with you. It’s not often that I have fun while working on something, but meeting with you is always fun.”
— Jared Files, Sci-fi Author and Coaching Client
“First of all, THANK YOU! Your critique is super helpful. I knew you'd find the holes and I'm excited to start filling them in. I haven’t read your manuscript comments yet (only the editor report), but I think you’re spot on.”
— Stacy Fisher, Memoir Author
“Wow! You’ve given me exactly what I needed. ”
— John Green, Memoir Author
