What it’s like to work with me...

  • “The great EB White once observed, 'An editor is a person who knows more about writing than writers do but who has escaped the temptation to write.' I don't know if Rebecca Didier has escaped the temptation to write altogether but she definitely knows more about writing than most writers I know and definitely most editors. She is one of the best editors I've worked with (and their number is fairly large). I went into mourning when our work together on the book DEAR READERS AND RIDERS was over; I think I may be in mourning still. How many writers do you know would say that about their editors? I bet EB White had something to say about that too.”

  • "Based on my past academic performance in English and literature, it is exceedingly clear that I had no business writing a book. Even the thought of composing this testimonial intimidated me. Fortunately, I came upon Rebecca Didier early in the process of my book’s composition. Rebecca possesses the extraordinary and exclusive ability to take something ordinary and turn it into a masterpiece… all while making someone else feel like they had everything to do with it. Suddenly, writing a book becomes a clear, comfortable, and seamless process. Rebecca is the James Bond of editing, without whose guidance and tenacity I would indubitably be debilitated. I would highly recommend contacting Rebecca first and foremost when embarking on any formal literary project."

  • “The best editors seem to know their writers as thoroughly and intimately as another human can. They help their writers become better versions of themselves, gently point out their blind spots, and sometimes rescue them from themselves. Rebecca Didier is one of the best, and I would eagerly work with her again.”

  • “I have had the great pleasure of working with Rebecca Didier on two manuscripts. For authors, there is a distinct level of trust as we release our stories to the editing process. Rebecca embodies that rare and exceptional ability to be both approachable (lovely and friendly) yet professional (super smart and savvy). Her thoughtful and creative input was invaluable to me. I can say without hesitation that she made me a better writer and she made my books more compelling.”

    — Melanie Sue Bowles, Author of Middle-Grade Novels Liberty Biscuit and Little Pearl

  • "I've had the pleasure of working with Rebecca Didier as a freelance graphic designer on dozens of book projects over many years. Not only is she an extremely talented designer and editor, but also the best in the business at directing a project from conception to completion. Her vision is exceptional and she does all of this with professionalism, kindness, and patience. Her excellent interpersonal skills have motivated me to be a better designer and collaborator. I'm proud of the work we did together."

  • "When you have an editor, you expect that the words you write will be doctored and polished and ready for scrutiny by the most exacting of readers. Rebecca Didier accomplished this and far more with the manuscript that she was handed. My book was not only refined by Rebecca, but she contributed great insight and guidance, organized a massive amount of material and photographs, and made substantial additions to the text. In addition, she was a delight to work with. You could not ask for a more creative, gifted, and inspired editor with whom to collaborate. I attribute much of my book’s success to Rebecca’s skilled head and hands."

  • "Rebecca Didier is a person who does so many things well. She is creative and consistent in her efforts to deliver the very best service for the client. She has great talent and complements that talent with a beyond expectations effort. I would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone who is looking for a highly skilled individual to elevate their brand.”

  • "Working with Rebecca Didier was the most creative design journey I have ever had the opportunity to participate in. I have never encountered such professionalism and empathy on the other side of the monitor."
