"Dorothy has an exquisite sense of discerning whether the writing, by scene or by chapter, is flowing and if not, offering helpful suggestions on how to rewrite and/or move content for an improved product. She always honors the principle of the author retaining control over the document and having responsibility for providing the content. In turn, on many occasions, she has provided substantive feedback for my consideration on topics including adequacy of character development, vitality of the dialogue, and whether the story will fully engage and retain the reader’s interest. I highly recommend Dorothy Rice if you need a professional developmental editor for your writing project."
Marilyn Skinner Lanier
“Dorothy is an astute editor. She makes excellent, practical suggestions for both the big picture view of story arc and character development and in the closer line edit review. As a fellow workshop participant, I valued her comments, and post-MFA, I sought her assistance with numerous projects. I recommend her services highly.”
Faye Satterly
“Dorothy's edits have been vital to my development as a short story writer. Whether it’s line edits/polishing before submission or big picture structural development, she has a keen eye and is direct when it comes to feedback and finding narrative solutions when I’m stuck. I trust her with my most personal work.”
