So, after working with many writers over a 25 year career in branding and marketing, I must say Rita Lewis is one of the most professional, researched, and creative writers I have had the joy to work with! Yes, I did put those 3 words in one sentence, and I’m so happy it’s possible. Whether it’s a blog article or a more complicated white paper, Rita researches her work thoroughly, presents the topic professionally, and understands different voices needed and the creativity needed to make a work really stand out and represent a brand well.

Rita is an excellent writer-editor-proofreader on smaller projects like web copy and newsletters, and I call on her regularly for her customer-focused feedback. But where I have really come to depend on Rita is on book projects. She is a first-rate line editor and proofreader; she has a keen eye for detail and knows when to correct problems vs. point out possible improvements. I have complete trust in her abilities, and she is extraordinarily dependable. On top of the quality of Rita’s deliverables, I really like working with her. We collaborate well and have developed processes and tools to make our book projects effective and efficient. I consider Rita a critical member of the team—I wouldn’t want to work without her!

I reached out to Rita in a panic; I needed a fast turnaround on a manuscript that needed to get into production pronto. She listened carefully to my needs, jumped right in and edited the heck out of the work. I was completely in awe of her thoroughness and great attention to continuity and the lightning speed of which she was able to accomplish the task. Her edits were smart and every suggestion was accepted as they were definitely the best way to go. She improved the quality of the work tremendously. I highly recommend her editorial services, plus she is a delight to work with.

The Math Door
Rita worked with me as editor on a book project. She came highly recommended, and her professionalism exceeded anything I anticipated. The work was copy-editing a book on math education research, an edited volume with multiple authors, and formatting according to APA and publisher’s guidelines. She provided many fundamental improvements to the printed work, including strong flowing improvements to the content, and detail-oriented as well as creative solutions to structural and stylistic issues in all aspects of this edited volume. Rapid turnaround time, not to mention patience with my own erratic schedule and organizational quirks. She served as a “service provider,” but we worked like partners.
