Work with Me

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.

Testimonials

“Lauren worked with me providing developmental and technical edits for my debut Substack essay series, Caught Up. Her partnership was instrumental throughout the creative process — lending insightful feedback, improving my essays, prompting thoughtful inquiries, and adding technical proficiency and professionalism to the series. Lauren’s editorial eye, problem-solving skills, and tactful collaboration brought tangible value— leading to a more technically sound, resonant body of work as well as increased confidence in my abilities. Her partnership was crucial, from first draft to publication.”
