Steph has been incredible to work with. She has so much knowledge about the romance world, everything from plotting, pacing, and scene creation, she can do it all. Not only is her technical ability great, but her infectious personality is a delight to work with, she is extremely responsive and is able to untangle the mess of my brain into a publishable book. I would highly recommend her!

"Working with Steph is always a pleasure. She is fantastic at finding plot holes I would have never noticed and has an uncanny ability to pinpoint exactly where a line or a deeper layer is needed in the story to take it to the next level. She's not afraid to use the red pen, but her feedback is always constructive and spot on. What I appreciate most is her humor; her critiques often make me laugh at my own mistakes, which makes the editing process so much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Steph for any manuscript needs. I never thought I’d need a developmental editor, but now I can't imagine working without her."

Working with Steph made the process of editing my manuscript something I ended up looking forward to. Getting notes and feedback became a highlight of my day, not a concern. As a first time author I feel I got very lucky finding Steph as my editor and I will absolutely be working with them again to complete this series of books. Thank you and can't wait to keep working together.

Steph is fantastic. Her enthusiasm and passion are only equaled by her professionalism. I had a wonderful time working with Steph and would highly recommend her to other authors. She’s detailed, informed, and great at finding areas that could use a little something extra. Her thoughtfulness and thoroughness is much appreciated, as is the open conversation about what needs attention and how to make the story stronger.

Sharing your work for critique and editing is a challenging step in the writing journey. You hope your editor likes your work, but you also need them to be comfortable and honest, so their guidance can truly help you improve. I did not just gain an editor with Steph, I gained a friend for life and a Literary Sherpa who held my hand through the whole process. She talked me off the ledge more times than she would probably like to admit, gave me a swift kick in the butt when I got down on myself, and offered very valuable feedback and guidance that helped ease the stress of the process. I would highly recommend her services, hands down! Steph, thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I came to you a nervous mess and left, well, still a nervous mess, but with a developed and edited manuscript. Much love to you!

"Steph is simply amazing to work with. She helped with all of my books, found plot holes I never would have found on my own and held my hand right until they were fixed. She is very thorough, tears your WIP apart and helps you through every step of the rebuilding."

"I would absolutely recommend Rawls Reads. Steph was able to get to the heart of the story and bring my vision to life with her funny and insight comments. Friendly and easy to work with, one of the best experiences I've ever had."

"Steph from Rawls Reads is a superstar - I can't recommend her enough. She's a voracious reader, who brings a ton of great perspective to every manuscript, and I know my stories work better and flow more seamlessly because of her feedback. She's friendly, supportive, knowledgable, and an absolute joy to work with."

"Steph is a wonderful person. She's tenacious and thorough and she definitely does not shy away from the red pen. She thinks about the story from all aspects and really helps form the world-building and character arcs. Her feedback is very helpful and I enjoy having her on my team. Definitely recommend."
