“Having Rachel as an editor brought clarity and precision to the work without ever compromising its core truth. Her openness to challenging narratives and understanding of the systems we aim to disrupt made her an ideal collaborator. I’m grateful for her care, insight, and hope for a loving future.”

“I have been fortunate enough to work with Rachel Sonis during her tenure at TIME. She is a thoughtful, detail-oriented editor who patiently works with her writers to bring out the best in them. Since working with Rachel, I have been able to expand my editorial reach to Canada and the UK. If you are looking to grow as a writer, I’d strongly recommend you hire for editorial services.”

“Rachel has the unique ability to see and cultivate talent with brilliance and care. Her editing style blends genuine kindness and deep expertise—it has made my writing stronger and clearer. I have recommended her to many writer friends and will continue to do so!”

“At every turn, Rachel's approach to the editorial process is a dream. Her vision as an editor is thoughtful, ambitious, and brimming with the clarity and care that encourages writers to think deeply about their voice, their choices, and where their work fits into wider conversation. Working with Rachel encouraged me to take risks on the page, and in my thinking, that I otherwise wouldn't have, leading me to new spaces in my own work and ideas. She's a true collaborator who understands what her writers are trying to do—but strengthens it tenfold with the perspective and structural skill she brings to projects. Having the opportunity to work with and learn from Rachel has been one of the highlights of my writing career.”

“Working with Rachel has not only strengthened my writing—its direction, its clarity, its impact—but has also emphasized the value of collaboration when it comes to creative product. She approaches stories with equal parts candor and tenderness (the latter a rarity in a landscape that otherwise can feel extractive or transactional). Rachel has a unique ability to hone in on voice, spotlight the most accessible and resonant narrative arcs, and all the while encourage her collaborators in their expertise. I am a better creative because of Rachel's guidance and partnership.”

“Rachel is the ideal editor to work with – sharp, supportive, and generous in making the work better. We collaborated on opinion pieces and book excerpts and I felt like I had a true partner in the process, a blessed rarity in an era of overextended editorial staffs.”

“Rachel makes my writing better, plain and simple. Her thoughtful editorial approach helps me see where I can firm up my thesis, dive deeper for the reader's benefit, and more clearly communicate my point of view. We've collaborated on many pieces for TIME and I hope to work with her on other pieces in the future. I highly recommend Rachel without reservation.”
