I had the absolute pleasure of working with Rashi during her tenure as Fiction Editor. The story of mine that she accepted and edited went on to win the PEN America PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers. Her editorial guidance was essential to bringing about this result.

From the start, Rashi understood the emotion which underpinned my writing. She was able to reflect the work back to me in terms that both 1) I recognized as true to my intentions and 2) spoke to the latent potential that I hadn't yet drawn all the way out of the story. She asked excellent questions. She also suggested that I meaningfully cut down on word count and provided guidance for where I might trim without being prescriptive. The result was a much tighter story that I felt thrilled to publish.

I would highly recommend working with Rashi! She can help you take the next step forward in your thinking and your work.

Rashi is a brilliant writer, and it‘s been wonderful to see her grow her work in fiction. I’ve also had the pleasure of collaborating with her on projects in the past and was very impressed with her work ethic- she is a good communicator and has a strong sense of urgency, making her a very easy to partner with.

Working with my developmental editor Rashenka on my YA manuscript was an absolute gift. Her feedback was clear, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to both character and story, helping me see new layers and possibilities I hadn’t noticed before. And she even took the time to help me understand the genre differences as well. She offered practical, actionable guidance without ever compromising my voice, and her encouraging approach made the revision process feel exciting instead of overwhelming. I’m truly grateful for her insight, professionalism, and care and my book is undeniably stronger because of her expertise.

Hun er en fantastisk lærer og også en utmerket redaktør. Profesjonell og med evnen til å komme med gode anbefalinger for forbedring. Jeg anbefaler henne på det sterkeste.

Rashi edited my PhD dissertation. Although it was already well written, she suggested refining several phrases and word choices, and she genuinely took the work to another level. The level it needed to be approved. Det anbefales!
