"Becca has been behind my debut novel from the start, moving through my attempt at organized chaos with steady clarity. Entire scenes were reborn because of her suggestions—scenes that once were awkward, now flow. If my story reads like an actual book rather than an idea dump, it’s because of her. She helped me turn the chaos into something coherent."
