What My Clients Are Saying

Marci was a delight to work with during the time that I served as editor-in-chief of Tea Room Guide and Digest. Her keen eye for detail, her professionalism, her project management skills, and her sense of humor contributed to the quality of Tea Room Guide and Digest and of my columns. She did a remarkable job of soliciting articles, editing them, keeping on top of deadlines, and managing the review process.

For my columns, Marci managed to perfect my writing while preserving my style. I would highly recommend her as a talented editor who is accurate, flexible, and personable.

Marci worked with my technical writing team for many years and I would highly recommend her. She is an extremely efficient and effective editor and writer. Her eye for detail is second to none. She can take the most poorly written draft and turn it into an accurate, concise, easy-to-read document. She works well with people and is able to suggest improvements without alienating even the most sensitive authors. She is an excellent mentor to new writers. She is also capable of understanding very technical information at a detailed level. She often caught technical errors in source information that was provided by the engineering teams and was highly respected by them. She was a great asset to my team and did much to improve the quality of our documentation.

As a business owner, consultant, and author for over 20 years, I have worked with many people, Marci Bethel has not only been a pleasure to work with but has outstanding skills for business communications. Marci listens well to what the project involves and works diligently to complete it above company standards and extremely effectively in a short period of time. I delegated various responsibilities to her during the publication process for my book, and she always came through with good suggestions and insight. To date we have found no editing errors in the entire book due to her thoroughness, which is very unusual for a first edition. She was instrumental in winning the 2004 Business Book of the Year Grand Prize from BookAnnouncements and in being named the Business and Economics Gold Award Winner in ForeWord magazine's Book of the Year Awards.

I continue to use Marci's skills for consulting work, and she has been a tremendous help on a variety of projects. I highly recommend her as a person with a great deal of business savvy who can be a valuable asset to your company.

As a first-time author, it was important to me that I find someone with patience, good ideas, and suggestions that would enrich my story. I instantly clicked with Marci and found her to be easy to talk to. Not only did she understand what I was trying to convey, but she also offered suggestions as we “wordsmithed” the rough parts without changing my original idea. Marci did a great job of rapidly and efficiently moving through the editing process and returning clean, edited work on time as promised. 

I would recommend Marci's editing services to new authors, and I look forward to working with her on my next book project.

I took a leap of faith and sent my manuscript off in cyberspace to a stranger in California, Marci Bethel of RMB Editorial Services. She responded almost immediately with a detailed review and estimate. Marci not only professionally copyedited my manuscript but she also checked and double-checked every fact, every detail. She supplied me with an enormous amount of publishing information and promotional feedback, reviewed the cover design, edited the website—the list goes on and on. She helped me through the entire process, yet her fee remained far below what I would have expected. She turned my manuscript into a real book, and I can never thank her enough for her devotion to this project.

Marci Bethel's skills, both in editing and in project management, are of the highest caliber. Her professionalism and positive attitude make her an asset to any endeavor. She is more than qualified to manage complex projects, which she does thoroughly and competently, and she "rolls up her sleeves" and pitches in when there are simple tasks to be done.

Marci knows when to be a team player and when to be a team leader. She has been a joy to work with, and a person I know I can count on.
