Testimonials
For our first project, Ruhama took my awkwardly organized manuscript and
edited it into a compelling book that received enthusiastic reviews in scholarly
journals and newspapers, as well as a prize for research.
For our second project, Ruhama coached me chapter by chapter. That book
took a prize
for cross-over writing.
We are now completing a third book
for which she has improved
my prose
and my
thinking at every
stage of the writing process.
On a practical level, I most appreciate her fast turn-around,
with paragraphs
reordered for logic and sentences rewritten
for clarity.

Department of Anthropology, San Jose State University
Ruhama totally rescued my memoir and helped me transform it into a
real story.
She is a fantastic editor with all the desirable qualities: a mixture of professional,
ruggedly honest, kind and supportive,
and never once did I feel that she
was trying
to change my voice. I learned how to shape a story,
learned my tendencies and
bad habits,
and
became a better writer.
Thank you Ruhama!
