Manuscript editor & writing coach
Contact me at rachel@rachelevemoulton.com
As a writer and life-long educator, editing is a familiar task, and I will freely admit that it can be a daunting one when it is my own work. Coaching and editing for others, however, is a true joy. My experience teaching students of all ages has allowed me an opportunity to offer advice at all levels of the writing process. Whether it is helping you get a project started, or polishing a nearly finished draft, I am excited to work with you.
My work as a fiction reader for The Antioch Review and as an Assistant Fiction Editor at Narrative Magazine https://www.narrativemagazine.com/ has added to my ability to identify intent and audience. As an editor, my goal is to provide feedback that is open and honest with the intention of keeping the writer engaged and passionate about their project.
“Rachel Moulton has saved my manuscripts time and again with her reliably insightful edits. I love her gentle but direct way of pointing out places to upgrade. I can rely on her to find pacing problems and let me see where my characters are not fully realized. Every writer needs a Rachel in their corner. If you’re neck-deep in a manuscript, whether early draft or final revision, I highly recommend her services.”
“I am grateful to have had Rachel’s keen eye on my manuscripts before I’ve sent them on to agents and editors. She is a wonder at finding the issues and missed opportunities in a story that I can no longer see myself. She is incredibly specific and honest, but delivers the feedback in a way that always leaves me jazzed with the possibilities for revision.”
“Rachel helped me shape two memoirs, working with me over a period of a year. Her work as a ghostwriter was exemplary. She was always professional and knew how to shape my story into one with more depth and meaning. Additionally, she was always willing to go the extra mile—appearing on a podcast to discuss the work, writing two synopses, and giving me advice on projects related to the books. I would highly recommend her for your editorial or ghostwriting needs.””
