Work with Me

You want to make your words work for you. You’re in the right place.

After all, when others come to expect great words from you, you can bet on more meaningful connections within your industry and less stress about hitting Send (or Publish)!

With a degree in Communications/English and a decade of editing experience, I come alongside writers, bloggers, and students and polish your pages until they shine. An author myself, I understand that everyone needs an extra pair of eyes.

ENDORSEMENTS

  • Lena Goldfinchauthor

    Working with Rachelle on my book was a wonderful experience. Rachelle has such a great eye for typos, inconsistencies, and grammar. She also has an understanding of historical romance and inspirational romance, which was a key factor when I was searching for an editor. I especially appreciate her turnaround time and sensitivity to my release schedule. She’s also a lovely person to work with!

  • Elisa Pulliamauthor and speaker

    When I approached Rachelle to work through my proposal with a fine tooth comb, along with a request for a super short turn around time, I had no idea how fast she would get the job done with such an attention to detail. Her editorial skills are superb. She is able to see those ornery little typos and spelling mistakes, along with picking up on consistency issues and addressing grammatical errors. In addition, she gracefully suggests phrasing changes and even puts in a note of encouragement here and there! I will be hiring Rachelle in the future and highly recommend her services!

  • Amber Stokesauthor, editor, and blogger

    Fast, yet thorough, Rachelle was quick in proofreading my manuscript without skimping on her work effort. She has a wonderful sense of rhythm in syntax, along with a sharp eye to catch grammatical mistakes and other details that could hinder the flow or clarity of a story. Her comments are a helpful balance of guiding questions and encouragement. She’s both talented in her work and kind in her communications, and I’d be happy to hire her again!

  • Caroline Rose Kraftauthor and blogger

    Working with Rachelle was a delight! Every writer needs an editor, and Rachelle noticed things I never would have seen and pointed them out in a professional yet friendly manner. I feel like my rough draft had turned into an almost-ready piece once she returned it.

  • Lili Hiserwriter

    Rachelle Rea Cobb does an outstanding job editing my editorial articles that are published in local newspapers. She is able to give honest edits, feedback and critiques that allows my message to my audience to be clear and motivating. She has the ability to understand what a writer desires to say and helps make it happen with her impressive skills.

  • Miranda Uyehauthor

    Rachelle’s kind, sweet, and gentle personality, added to her professionalism, makes working with her a joyful experience. Her sharp eye is quick to spot those little mistakes that an author might miss or overlook. Her neat side notes/comments not only seek to correct, but to coach you so that you also understand the reasons behind them. Besides her amazing skills and principle to keeping to deadlines, her other ethics have two sweet and powerful objectives: to make your book shine, and to turn you into a better writer. I/my work can certainly testify to that.

  • Sarah HolmanSarah Holmanauthor

    Rachelle was invaluable in critiquing and editing my books. She was able to tell me, in terms I could understand, not just how to improve my book, but also my style. I know my future books will be better because of Rachelle.

  • Sam Eatonblogger

    Like many authors, my writing is a part of who I am, and trusting anyone with that is a nerve-racking experience. Yet Rachelle was the perfect mix of honest critique and authentic encouragement. I will be recommending her over and over!

  • Christy MartensonChristy Martensonauthor of Halstad House and Love, Mary Elisabeth

    Laying one’s manuscript before an editor can be nerve-racking––not unlike holding a cherished child up for inspection. Rachelle not only made the editing process painless; she made it enjoyable. I appreciate her expertise in line-by-line proofing as well as her ability to see the bigger picture. Her suggestions and comments have always been well thought out and have definitely improved the flow and sense of my novel. Rachelle has been wonderful and a joy to work with––professionalism with a personal touch!

    Rachelle provided editing services for my self-help book that I was preparing to relaunch. She completed a thorough review of my manuscript in a very reasonable amount of time. Hiring Rachelle allowed me to have a fresh set of eyes on my work and her suggested edits worked perfectly for me.

    Rachelle was a joy to work with! As a new and upcoming author, it can be a struggle to find affordable editing services that deliver the quality you'd expect from a professional. But Rachelle did just that! I'm so thankful she was recommended to me. I felt totally comfortable handing my manuscript over to her. I will  be recommending Rachelle's services to all my author friends!

    “It is a joy to work with Rachelle. Her skill and professionalism are top notch.

  • Kalyn BrookeFounder, KB Creative Media

    It's been an amazing experience to have Rachelle work her magic on my blog posts. She refines my sentences and paragraphs into cohesive thoughts that are 10x better than before, and her feedback regarding intent and flow are invaluable! Already, Rachelle has saved me so much time editing my own work.

  • Gretchen LouiseGretchen LouiseMentoring Digital Wordsmiths

    Rachelle is one of those people that I always want to be the first to read every blog post I write, every email sequence I draft. Not only is she quick to graciously notify me of the typos or stylistic inconsistencies she finds, but she is kind enough to tell me when I could explain something better or make a sentence read more smoothly. And even though Rachelle knows the grammar rules, she knows there is always a time and place to break them. I'm grateful for her attention to detail and her friendly editing style!

  • Natasha MetzlerNatasha Metzlerauthor and blogger

Rachelle expertly balances critique with encouragement in a way that shows her heart for writers…and their future readers. Her engagement in my character’s lives and plight was only a testament of her commitment to the projects she takes on.

  • Lisa T. BergrenLisa T. Bergrenbestselling author

    I loved working with Rachelle. She was sharp, fast, clear in her notes, and covered everything from little typos to bigger issues that would have been seriously embarrassing had we missed them and gone to print. There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll be using her editorial expertise on my next project.

Our family looks ahead to this January day with mi Our family looks ahead to this January day with mingled grief and hope.

Today is ten years since my grandpa went Home to heaven, on my grandparent’s 45th wedding anniversary. Ten years. The world is poorer without him.

His passing was my first experience with grief. I was 19 and a sophomore in college.

He was an Air Force vet, a dedicated saver, a committed family man who made my grandma smile like no other, and a great grandpa. Willing to go make a grocery store run on a whim so I could bake cookies. Intent on teaching us that hard work and love can lead to a great life.

I can still smell the woodsy scent of his flannel checkered shirts, feel the scruff on his cheek, hear his voice.

How I would have loved to introduce him to his grandson-in-law, who is uncannily so like him. I missed him on our wedding day, so I carried his picture in my bouquet.

Most of all, I would have loved to introduce him to his great-granddaughter whom we affectionately call our Rosebud, the name he gave me when I was little.

But instead on this day, I’ll remember all he taught me about love and honor. See you in the Morning, Grandpa.
One year ago today, we celebrated making it to the One year ago today, we celebrated making it to the third trimester. God is gracious.
Dear Rosalie, I caught you eating a post-it note Dear Rosalie,

I caught you eating a post-it note the other day. As I rescued it from your mouth, I shook my head and told you you’re a lot like me. 

You love books and paper, fruit, clutter-free surfaces (or at least it seems that way when you pull everything off the couch!), freshly clean laundry, music, and when Daddy comes home.

But I just want to write you a little note to tell you it’s okay if you’re not much more like me at all. I can’t wait to see your beautiful personality bloom as you grow, our little Rosebud. You’re such a gift.

As you grow bigger and stronger, I can start to see more willfulness in you and I pray you let the Lord mold that into a fierce strength that protects others and also stands up for yourself. I can start to see a caring spirit in you as you take care of your toys or snuggle into me, and I pray you let the Lord mold that into a gentleness that whispers to the world of His Spirit’s healing touch. And I can start to see some unmistakeable firstborn-daughter traits like precision and type-A-ness busting through, too, and I pray you let the Lord lead you to use those skills for good—and remember that relaxing a little is good, too.

I’m so thankful for you. So blessed to be your mommy.

Happy 9 months, dear Rosebud.

Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 39 weeks old toda Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 39 weeks old today! 

This week, I learned how to give kisses and drink from a straw cup. I also finally made my gingerbread house (with help) because better late than never, right?

 I still clap for everybody all the time. I’m a born encourager. And Mommy and Daddy bought me a new toy, a tunnel! I’m obsessed!

I play hard all day long, sometimes lapping the living room and kitchen with extra energy! But at bedtime I am the sweetest, because I love when Daddy reads my Bible story and then we tuck me in and I lay my head on Mommy’s shoulder like, “Good day, guys. Let’s do this again tomorrow.”

Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 38 weeks old toda Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 38 weeks old today! 

This week, I learned I’m terrified of the Instant Pot quick-release. But it’s not my fault, Mommy shrieked the first time, too! What I am a fan of? Laundry baskets. And bath time! With Daddy and toys, of course.

Also, I gave Mommy a thumbs up this week and she was so excited, I decided not to do it again for a while. 😉 #LettersfromRosalie
Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 37 weeks old toda Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 37 weeks old today! Happy New Year! I rang in the New Year  sound asleep, despite the many fireworks (thank the Lord for sound machines!).

I am jumping into January with lots of giggles and smiles. I carry my toy doughnut almost everywhere now (around the house, in the car seat and stroller, and even sometimes into the crib!). Other favorites include my Rudolph-in-a-box, lint roller, and crinkly water bottles (bonus points if there is water still left inside!).

This week I started stepping between furniture, but no hands-free fun just yet!
