Detail-Oriented
Do you care about the difference between "the", "an", or no article at all? I do! The minute mechanics of grammar and style fascinate me. Expect your writing to be groomed with a fine-toothed comb.
Genre Savvy
Readers (and publishers) expect certain things from memoirs and self-help books. Your manuscript will check every box, using methods that actually refine your message. Don't worry, you'll still stand out from the crowd.
Empathetic
Nonfiction— my specialty— has exposed and endeared me to people from all walks of life. I approach editing as a fellow writer, reader, and human being. Does your book matter to you? Well, same here.
Totally Chill
I'm not here to give you extra work or stress you out. "The hard parts" of revising are fun and rewarding for me! It's my pleasure to give you this chance to kick back and relax while I work my magic.
This Is What I Was Born to Do
I was three years-old when my auntie taught me to read. Pretty soon, all the paper in the house had an all-caps alphabet on it, followed by a list of every word I knew.
That list was always getting longer.
I wrote novels. I drew comics. I begged for books for Christmas. Over the years, I became a blogger, a beta reader, a little poet reveling in repeating sounds.
Crafting stories, learning languages, reading, writing… I’ve been obsessed from day one. As an adult finally ready to follow her dreams, founding Edit4U has been my ultimate delight.
Every day that I wake up to work on someone’s manuscript, I think, no way this is my job! It’s so fun and so easy!
That’s what happens when we lean into our gift. Isn’t that why you started writing a book, too?
If you’ve been struggling with the process, don’t worry. You kept pushing and pushing to get it done because you have something important to say.
Let me use my talent to help you say it, the easy way.
