  • Colleen Woodward

  • Amy Hart

    “Rachel’s analysis, comments and suggestions were clearly presented, and the format of the report was easy to follow. I think what I liked most was that her approach to this second review was very different to the first, and in fact, was spot on for what I hoped to get feedback on. It enhanced what I learned from her review of the first draft of the story.”

  • Anisa Delaluz
