Unlocking your writing potential

"Rebecca Parker has had a long association with my law firm and with me, personally. Over the last 8 years, Rebecca has worked with me to edit my LLM thesis and my PhD thesis. I cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough in this role. Rebecca is meticulous and thorough. She always provides helpful comments and suggestions for an author to consider. Rebecca is also interested in the work she is editing, which is extremely valuable in terms of her editing skills. Finally, in terms of legal editing, it is certainly helpful that Rebecca is a qualified Legal Executive and has years of experience working in a law office."

"We were so grateful for Rebecca's feedback and editorial expertise, on what was the first children's book we'd ever written, that we collaborated two further times. There is no doubt the final text and story were better as a result of Rebecca’s involvement and expertise, and we'd recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an editor to work with."

"Rebecca is diligent, plugged in and has an impressive understanding of the corporate environment across both the public and private sectors. Her attention to detail is second-to-none and she adds significant value when it comes to proofing and polishing a strategy, presentation, report or piece of writing before we deliver it to our clients."

"I was very pleased to work with Rebecca as my copyeditor for my book, The New Lawyer Companion: Essays on Law, Life and Humanity (LexisNexis, 2020). I was especially grateful that even with her long history of editing academic and professional work, she was fully engaged in the more humanised style of my work. She was highly efficient, and her cheerful direct communication made figuring out any issues that arose that much easier. I was new to working with a copyeditor, and appreciated so much both Rebecca's skills as an editor and her approach to our working relationship. Work with her if you can!"

"Rebecca has been a trusted freelance editor for the Ministry for the Environment since October 2022, working on numerous complex and high-profile publications. She is an intelligent, pragmatic and conscientious editor who is also a joy to work with – she takes shifting deadlines in her stride, and will happily chat through the best approach for a tricky project."

"Rebecca has been an absolute professional, providing excellent editorial services across high-level reports, academic articles and strategic plans. We have appreciated Rebecca’s flexibility to changing timelines, professional advice and valuable expertise. She has developed important approaches that cater to the needs of the work and the multiple audiences we seek to reach. Since 2022, my working relationship with Rebecca has been based on mutual understanding and collaboration. In addition, her diligence and care has been invaluable as has her attention to detail. She is an absolute joy to work with!"

"I have worked with Rebecca for more than a decade, she is without doubt the most astute proofreader and copy editor Shanahan Partners works with. She has a natural talent for what she does, is highly efficient and always adds value. Over the years I have recommended her to many people and organisations – always receiving great feedback."
