Provided Us with the Why.
“We are not writers by trade, and Becky did an amazing job breaking down what she offered, keeping us updated, and letting us know why she was making the recommendations. This was what we loved most about Becky, she provided us with the why. This allowed us to understand each and every edit from both the editor’s point of view, and the readers’ point of view. Becky was also able to get a sense of our tone and style and provide us with edits that aligned with our messaging. She clearly communicates her intentions, she tells us what to expect, and she goes into great detail explaining her edits. This allowed us to become better, more concise writers, while also better understanding the editing process. After working with Becky, we would never submit a project without her having a look at it first! We would recommend Becky’s services to anyone who was interested in having their work edited. The professionalism, communication, and editing we received from Becky makes us confident to refer her to anyone who asks!”

Professional and Meticulous. Supportive and Encouraging.
“From the first email to the last edit, not only was Becky professional and meticulous in her details, but also supportive and encouraging during the process of editing Brilliant Strengths: A Strengths-Based Program Designed to Raise Self-Esteem and Lower Anxiety in Students with Dyslexia. She worked effortlessly as we shared google docs, as well as through technology glitches along the way. As an educator, I respect her background and understanding of educational content. Her editing of the organization and content makes it easy for a parent or teacher to start immediately on the first lesson. Being a first-time author, I also greatly appreciate her insight and succinct summary of the back cover. Thank you, for your amazing work, Becky!”
— Nicki Winter, Author of Brilliant Strengths, Private Client, 2022
Professional, Creative, Unique, High-Quality.
“I hired Becky Noelle to create educational guides for teachers, parents, and others who read our books with children in educational settings. Right from the start, I was impressed with Becky’s knowledge of curriculum, passion for children’s books and children’s education, and insight into what teachers really need in the classroom. So it came as no surprise when Becky produced educational guides that were professional, creative, unique, high-quality, true to the books, and perfect for the intended use and audience. We even received compliments on one of the guides from a children’s book reviewer! Becky clearly went above and beyond in her work for us and I am looking forward to working with her again (and again!). I would recommend Becky's services to anyone working in children’s publishing and/or children’s education.”

Confidence and Enthusiasm without Losing Sight of Consistency and Style.
“I’ve had the pleasure to work with Becky on a variety of projects so far. She has copyedited a picture book and written a teacher’s guide for a book of middle reader nonfiction. She tackled both with confidence and enthusiasm without losing sight of consistency and style. If new ideas are needed for an assignment, Becky has them. If what we really need is someone to keep track of all the details, then Becky has them under control. I’m looking forward to working with her in the future.”
— Antonia Banyard, Publishing Associate, Greystone Kids, 2021

Top-Notch Content. Thorough and Meticulous.
“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Becky on a number of educational children’s books, and it has been a wonderful experience. As an author, Becky delivers top-notch content and is careful to meet the specific needs of any given project. As a proofreader and an editor, she is thorough and meticulous, paying close attention to detail and providing thoughtful feedback. She goes out of her way to meet deadlines while consistently maintaining the quality of her work. I’ve enjoyed working with her very much, and I highly recommend her skills as both a writer and an editor.”

Creative and Meticulous.
“Becky is doing some great work writing for Nelson—she's creative and meticulous. It's a pleasure to review the work she's providing using our usual templates. She completes all the fields required.

A Rare Combination to Find in a Copyeditor.
“It was a pleasure working with Becky. She recently completed the copyedit of a STEM-focused manuscript for middle readers as her first project with Annick Press. Becky quickly adapted to the nuances of our house style and asked pertinent questions at the outset of the project, making for an efficient working process. Her copyediting was detail-oriented and reflected both her background in science and her understanding of the reading level for the age group—a rare combination to find in a copyeditor. Her communication throughout was prompt and clear. I would recommend Becky with confidence and I look forward to working with her on future projects.”
—Kaela Cadieux, Managing Editor, Annick Press, 2020
Life-Changing.
“I had been invited to go through the application process with the Alberta Society of Artists to have my photographic artwork juried… I requested Becky's help with the curriculum vitae and artist's statements… I followed all [her suggestions], and in the end the application was successful. Thanks to her assistance I did indeed win accreditation from the society and that will of course be life-changing.”
—Gordon Hiebert, Photographer and Business Owner, 2020
You Won’t Be Disappointed.
“I had become stuck in the process of updating my business website and Becky offered her services… I had no idea how much her editing would help… After every edit I reviewed, I found myself nodding with just how much more sense my sentences made and just how well she made my writing flow. The entire process was extremely beneficial and allowed me to move forward in my business. If you need help clarifying the message you want to put out, I would recommend Becky in a heartbeat. She’s polite, professional, and hard working. You won’t be disappointed.”
—Brady Munro, Local Business Owner, 2020
Quick and Thorough.
"Becky’s work was quick and thorough. I really appreciated her ability to use the platform I was most comfortable with, in this case Google Docs. Incorporating the edits was as simple as clicking yes. She also made a suggestion for the overall viewpoint of the piece with her rationale, which I was able to consider, and in the end decided to incorporate, as it did capture the message I was trying to convey in a more personable tone."
—Jennifer Shehata, Local Business Owner, 2019
A Thorough and Accurate Professional Editor.
“I highly recommend the services of Becky Noelle Editing for anyone seeking a thorough and accurate professional editor. Becky edited to a very high standard two pieces of work for my MSc, one of which was my dissertation. She provided me with several editing options so that I could select the one that met my needs and budget. Her correspondence was prompt and she completed edits according to our agreed upon schedule, often sooner. Most importantly was the quality of her work; I was thoroughly impressed with the pieces returned to me and I feel that her edits have greatly improved my writing skills. It was a pleasure working with Becky and I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again.”
—Ben Sargent, Graduate Student, University of Manchester, 2019
Precise Work, Inspired Editing.
“I would highly recommend Becky Noelle’s editing and writing. She created and edited the new website and Facebook page for the Swiss Folk Dance Club Alpenrösli in Calgary. I was very impressed with her precise work, inspired editing, and all the research she did to learn about the traditions and history of Swiss folk dances and dress. She included wishes and suggestions from club members, and the result is a very lively and up-to-date website. I recommend Becky’s inspiring writing to all my friends and colleagues.”
—Daniela Raduner, President, Swiss Folk Dance Club Alpenrösli, 2020
