“I want to give a big thank you to Taryne! She is an incredible and thorough editor, always paying attention to every detail.
Whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, she’s there to help me calm down and put things into perspective. I really enjoy our daily conversations, and I especially appreciate the insightful editor comments she provides. She makes the process so much easier and enjoyable!”

“I wasn’t sure I wanted or needed a proofreader until the last moment. Because it was a last minute decision to perfect my book, I needed someone fast, efficient, thorough, and who would help me cross the finish line with my head held high.
Taryne went above and beyond in meeting these needs! She provided regular updates, hyped up the elements of the story that stood out to her, caught things that slipped through the cracks, finished earlier than I expected, and helped me put together some materials to help me with formatting my WIP (book 2).
I am so grateful she was recommended to me by another author, and I’d like to pass forward the kindness by recommending her to you!"

"Working with Taryne Main-Ruhle has been an absolute game-changer for my writing. She excels in both developmental and copy editing, offering clear and concise feedback that elevates every aspect of the story. Her insightful notes pinpoint areas for improvement while also highlighting strengths, making the revision process both constructive and inspiring.
Beyond her technical expertise, she brings fresh ideas that enhance character depth, plot flow, and overall impact. She doesn’t just edit—she refines, polishes, and brings out the best in your writing. If you’re looking for an editor who is not only skilled but also invested in your success, I highly recommend Taryne Main-Ruhle!"
