REFERENCES from some of my authors:\"Not only did you help cut the text down by over 20%, make the book more visually and textually readable, and ask questions that made me think more deeply about how to introduce concepts, I learned more about the craft of publishing and editing from you. It was reassuring to be in such professional hands, and it was truly a pleasure and an honor to work with you. Somehow you did all of this on a blistering timeline and still managed to be cheerful and delightful to work with - bravo!\"\"Thank you SO much Becky! I couldn\'t have done it without you. You\'ve been an absolute rock. Calm, encouraging and patient. I could never have got to this point without your brilliance. So grateful.\"\"I feel so lucky to have had you at the helm, steering my book safely through to publication. When I say you have been brilliant, I mean it: always prompt to reply, patient and kind and encouraging, and professional in everything you have done with those eagle eyes and gentle talons.\"\"Thanks to the delightful Becky Alexander whose calm and insightful approach shaped this book and helped me learn so much.\"
