Kind words from authors

- they loved the magic

  • "Just like magic, The Proof Fairy adds a little sparkle to my writing. Rebecca works tirelessly at making sure my work is perfect, and ready for my readers. I love that as a reader herself she is always excited to delve into a new world and meet the characters. She has a lot of experience working with Indie Author’s and her passion is palpable. Her time management is next to none, and I am always impressed with her work ethic, even when I had to rush through some last-minute additions, The Proof Fairy was ready and waiting with her magic wand. I really can’t recommend her enough!"

  • "It's been a pleasure working with The Proof Fairy on my novel. She completed proofing and editing in a reasonable amount of time, took great care in her work to maintain my own writing style and professionally explained changes that I queried when I was unsure about the grammar change. I have a few more books in the pipeline, and will be signing Becca up to proofread and edit these also."

  • Working with Becca has been an absolute joy. Especially during those slightly unhinged 3 a.m. editing sessions in the final days when punctuation became optional, and sleep was a distant memory, she somehow caught every single one of my bad punctuation habits (and there were many) without ever making the process feel rigid or discouraging. What I loved most is how she works with an author’s voice, not against it. She never tried to flatten my tone or “correct” my style into something safer. Instead, she shaped the text around it, strengthening what was already there while keeping the heart, humour, and emotion intact. That’s a rare skill. The entire process felt collaborative, fun, and surprisingly energizing, even at ungodly hours. I happily and genuinely can’t recommend Becca enough as an editor who is both sharp-eyed and an absolute pleasure to work with. If you want an editor who will elevate your work and laugh with you while doing it, especially when everyone should probably be asleep,she’s the one.

  • What can I say? Rebecca was indispensable in the process of writing Legacy of a Queen, obviously. She combed through my jumbled words with precision, sure. But the most valuable thing she offers, in my humble opinion, is live document suggestions. She doesn’t just work on your story—she works with you.

  • This was my first experience with a proofreader and it was productive and enjoyable throughout. Rebecca was friendly and diligent, and relieved me of the massive stress of getting my manuscript ready for publication. As a self-publishing debut novelist, she was the ideal person to work with and I’d recommend her to any independent authors out there.

  • If editing were a contact sport, Rebecca would be the calm professional quietly winning championships while the rest of us were still looking for our misplaced commas. Working with Rebecca, aka The Proof Fairy, on Kept Hidden was a delight from start to finish. She has an uncanny ability to spot errors that have somehow survived seventeen rereads, three moments of complete despair, and several declarations that the manuscript was definitely finished this time. What I appreciated most was that Rebecca didn't just correct mistakes. She helped make the book better while respecting my voice and intentions. Her feedback was thoughtful, clear, and delivered with just the right balance of expertise and kindness. She caught inconsistencies, smoothed out awkward phrasing, and saved me from more than a few embarrassing slips that would undoubtedly have leapt off the page the moment the book was published. Every author needs someone who can tell them that a sentence doesn't quite work without making them want to fling their laptop out of a window. Rebecca has mastered that rare skill. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any writer. She's meticulous, professional, endlessly patient, and possesses what can only be described as a slightly alarming ability to notice things everyone else has missed. Kept Hidden is a far stronger book because of her work, and I'm extremely grateful for all the magic she sprinkled over its pages.

  • I found Becca when I was completely lost, after being scammed with two fake editors. Becca was very professional since the beginning, always giving suggestions during the whole process and respecting my writing style. She has done an amazing work in my first book Beyond Heaven and Hell. We are set to start the works of my second book in October 2026 and I am sure it will be another incredible partnership.
