When I came across Molly’s website she seemed like the perfect fit for When The Stars Alight. It
pleases me to be correct in that assumption and I couldn’t be more happy with her level of effort,
diligence and communication throughout the editorial process. You can count on her to provide
thorough feedback and intelligent critique, as well as encouraging praise. I heartily recommend her
services.
I was seeking an editor who was familiar with classic literature (specifically Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre), and was both relieved and delighted when referred to Rookwood Editing and Molly. Huzzah! Molly knew exactly what I needed and handled my manuscript, Sophie in the Shadows: A Jane Eyre Story, with expertise and loving care! I can’t wait to work with Molly again in the future and recommend her services full-heartedly.
Molly’s advice and support was instrumental to the completion of my novel. The excellent developmental edit and copyediting was only the tip of the iceberg. She really took the time to read through and understand my novel, as well as my future plans. She was also very accommodating with timing and deadlines, as she was able to work around my frantic student-timeline. Overall, Molly is a wonderful editor and I am looking forward to working with her again soon.
It was a joy to work with Molly on my debut novel, Rose-Coloured Houses. She was an excellent communicator, getting back to me in a timely manner for any questions and concerns I had. She had creative ideas how to improve my characters and plot. I could count on her to give advice on things I didn’t think were within her job description, without hesitation. Molly gave positive feedback along with constructive criticism, something I was not expecting. I thought editing would be a painful experience but it was enjoyable! I will certainly use Molly’s expertise when I need my next book edited.
“It took me four years to self-publish a novel, and toward the end of the process, I was hesitant about hiring a professional editor. Molly Rookwood made sure I was glad I did. Her work was thorough and insightful, and her communication was open and supportive. Molly’s personal and professional skills made me feel my writing was in good hands.”
