All-Inclusive Editing | Strategic Revisions
Mean what you say, and say what you mean. Make sure the thoughts you're thinking make it to the page the way you're thinking it.
Words are power, and I am obsessed with how words mix and mingle to create powerful expression. In my work as editor and creative consultant, I collaborate with a client to flesh out all the possibilities of what they envision for their work, as well as all that I can envision in terms of commercial longevity, strategy, and the potential pitfalls that each creative direction may entail.
I then move forward to try to honor a writer's voice, concept, and intention by making sure what they think is on the page is actually on the page for readers to understand. I can provide suggestions, direction, and overall guidance to ensure the writer's voice is brought to its highest level.
As a writer myself, I know how intimate and painstaking of a process it is to put just the right words into place to make sure an idea comes across on the page as intended. I also know that finishing a piece can become a feat in itself. In honoring the creative muses that come and go, a writer goes deep into the murky waters of an idea and sometimes can't float above the work to see if everything is coherently falling into place, much less be hassled by the confines of writing rules. That's where I come in with compassion and a fine-tooth comb.
I am able to guide clients so that they get to a grounded, authentic place of not just the words printed on the page accurately and clearly relaying their message succinctly, but that they, themselves, are grounded in their purpose and true intentions BEHIND their message so that the words organically come from that authentic place to enable their truth to be properly reflected at the start.
I look at each piece of writing like it's a song. There is a rhythm and flow that happens on the page through the words, grammar and punctuation used. I don't take editing lightly since so much is at stake if it isn't done well. A writer's identity, credibility and brand are in the balance, so finding the right editor is crucial on so many levels.
