“Molly was really great to work with. She was realistic about what she could accomplish. We were under a time crunch and she finished ahead of schedule. She was able to explain the choices she made and why.”
Testimonials
“After the publication of my first novel, With All Due Respect, I began to work, with Molly as my substantive editor, on the novella The Brief and Glorious Reign of King Frederick the Brave. Most of the novella consists of a dream experienced by the protagonist. Molly said to me, ‘Lew, don’t you realize that all dreams take place in the present tense? You’ve got to change the entire first-person narrative into the present tense.’ Not once in my life did I ever realize that we dream in the present tense. I could not have asked for a more thoughtful, perceptive, and empathetic editor.”
“Molly’s edits made my novel, Lines in the Sand, a better book. Her input went beyond grammar and usage suggestions. When she called my attention to storyline passages that didn’t ring true, she provided reasons that were sound and helpful.”
“I contacted Molly Rookwood after a friend recommended her copyediting services. Molly was more than happy to assist in turning Darkness, the second novella in my zombie-themed series, into a palatable work for my readers. She was punctual, precise, and attentive to detail, and she made sure that the second book was consistent with the first published volume. Molly’s copyediting service was top-notch, and I would be more than happy to work with her again on my upcoming books in the near future.”
Molly helped me with an academic article and I was blown away by her incredible attention to detail. She really understood my research and used the context of my essay to help me hone in on what I was trying to express with precision and clarity. The editing was thorough, encouraging, and made my work much, much stronger!
