My Approach

Collaborate

I believe in collaborating directly with the author or writer throughout my entire editorial process. Whether it’s a proofreading and line editing job or a start-to-finish developmental edit, I aim to involve my clients as much as possible in the process. Your writing is unique and an extension of yourself, whether that be personal or professional.

Communicate

I welcome consistent communication with my clients and aim to keep creative conversations going throughout the editorial process. Each project receives at least one check-in update from me about halfway through the work. Clients are encouraged to ask as many questions as they need and provide feedback to my draft edits as needed.

Lauren Younker accepted a job with some unusual parameters and did a fine job. The way she responded to me and my work was professional throughout.
