Mission Statement:
We’re passionate about helping you grow and make an impact in the world with your writing.
Meet Rebecca
Upon completing two Masters’ degrees: one in Education and one in English, Rebecca has over fifteen years of professional editing and teaching experience. Leaving behind her days of editing essays and dissertations, she started JustAskHer Productions and embraced the world of fiction editing, audiobook production, and writing-course education.
She is an avid defender of the ‘said’ dialogue tag, and she loves to engage in “Grammar Wars” because someone needs to fight for the use of the Em Dash and the Oxford Comma.
Also, Rebecca describes herself as a deep developmental edit diver, a long-winded line editor, an all-around genre reviewer, a non-breaking space believer, and a lover of an erotica kicker.
In her free time, Rebecca is up usually up to some story-telling adventure: film watching, filmmaking, reading, or writing. If she is not invested in a story, she is hanging with her boys and her chosen family.
Meet Rita
I am a full-time wife and mother to three girls. I graduated from UMass Amherst in 2005 with a Bachelor’s in Social and Behavioral Sciences, Majored in Communications, and Minored in Classics. I have worked as a loan processor, HR rep, and various retail jobs. I have moved around quite a bit.
I was born in Louisiana, graduated high school and college in Massachusetts, moved to Wisconsin, then New Hampshire, and now finally Florida, and I am never leaving! I love the hot weather and beaches way too much. I come from a long line of book and movie lovers, and I’m a bit of a hoarder when it comes to owning my favorites.
During Covid, I joined all the smutty book groups, and my eyes were opened to a whole new world. I love working with and reading Indie authors. Editing professionally is new for me, but reading has been my passion forever.
Meet Alistair
Alistair has been shaping stories since he was a child. From an early age, he knew that storytelling was what he wanted to build his life around. In the service of that goal, he graduated with a Bachelor of English and a Master of Literature from the University of Cincinnati.
After graduation, he spent upwards of five years teaching writing and literature to college students, guiding them to express themselves. He spent several years working with Oloris Publishing as an editor and the head of their Poetry Division, where he had the pleasure of finding and shaping works of art. Also, he is a published poet.
When not writing and editing, Alistair enjoys taking photos of his rescue dogs and cats, telling stories about his rescue dogs and cats, getting excited about Dungeons and Dragons, LGBTQIA activism, and lecturing the unwary about his philosophies on art and the humanities.
Meet Arielle
Arielle began her editing journey while completing her Bachelor's degree in English, with a triple minor in creative writing, mathematics, and biology.
After college, Arielle taught abroad for a year. Then, she returned home and began her career as a professional editor.
When Arielle was asked what her top priorities were as an editor, she said, "My goal as an editor is to help the authors I work with to find his or her voice and to make it shine. I never want to change their voice. I just want to help them to bring the story they envision to life." Also, Arielle is a strong advocate for comma rules and a strong proponent for helping writers work on scene structure.
In her free time, Arielle is beginning to work on her voice acting reel as well as enjoying working on her personal writing endeavors.
Meet Zach
Zach began his sound creation journey when he received his first drum kit. His love for sound and music only grew over the years as he participated in every music, theater, and film production he could find. For example, he has participated in the 48Hour FilmProject every year since 2008 with JustAskHer Productions. Zach is highly talented when it comes to sound editing. Logic Pro, Audacity, and Izotope are just a few of the software programs Zach loves to use when editing his creative projects.
Also, Zach designs and assembles desktop computers for anyone who is looking to have a personalized computer created for them. Authors, film creators, audiobook creators, and gamers have all had computers designed by him.
In his free time, Zach likes to travel to music festivals, play board games with his friends and family, continue learning new percussion rhythms and hanging out with his four dogs.
Meet Chris
Chris has been creating stories & films since he could hold a camera. Furthermore, he has been writing tales, making films, or acting in films for over twenty years. Every year, he will participate in some way in JustAskHer Productions 48HourFilm Competition adventures. Currently, Chris is working on furthering his filming skill set via a camera drone. At present, he is training to receive his license in this type of camera work.
Also, Chris is highly talented when it comes to film editing. Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Photoshop are just a few of the software programs Chris loves to use when designing his current creative projects. Finally, he produces and writes a weekly Dungeons and Dragons podcast. This podcast has been a passion project of his for a little over three years.
When Chris is not spending time lost in a creative project, he runs a self-sustaining farm with his wife and five children.
