author of The Zemkoska ChroniclesHelen Rygh-Pedersen
“One of the best days of my writing career was meeting the team of Bard and Butter. Not only are they incredibly professional, but have become my go-to for editing.
Kris’s comments on my Alpha reads have at times made me cackle with laughter. His feedback is invaluable in making changes when needed to the plot, knowing when to work on worldbuilding or character arcs, and is always given thoughtfully.
Rachel is thorough, considerate and consistent which makes working with her a real pleasure. Contrary to stereotypes, I do not dread getting edits back from her. In fact, I look forward to it, as her insights for improvements are inspired and delivered in a friendly manner.
Kris and Rachel’s enthusiasm for the books they work on sparkles. I know that each of my book babies are in safe hands, the whole way through the process from Alpha to Proofread. Bard and Butter has become a part of my publishing family and I can’t do without them!”
Author of way of the wizardMichael Michel
“This was exactly what I needed. Fast, accurate, and made me a better writer. With an iron-clad understanding of prose, pacing, and grammar, Rachel is fully equipped to meet any author's editorial needs. Her skill at seeing the story I was trying to bring to life, and collaboratively goad it forward, was crucial to bringing my work into the world. And she did it with utmost ease, professionalism, and care. Love her.”
Author of Dark TownPalmer Pickering
“Rachel did a proofreading pass on my fantasy novel, Dark Town, providing valuable input and attention to detail. She also helped me wordsmith some small sections, demonstrating great skill with economy of words and concise phrasing. In addition, I found her to be easy to work with, professional, prompt, and a good communicator. She has become one of my go-to editors. Highly recommended.”
Author of The KinslayerS.K. Putt
“She pulled up so many edits. Not just grammar, but plot points and logical events to move the story forward. Such a great edit. I am over the moon with how my book is looking now.”
