EDITING
Helping mission-driven writers and organizations craft stories to connect with readers
Editing as a Conversation
Working with an editor should feel like a straightforward and collaborative process that helps your words—your story—make the kind of impact you intended.
Your book deserves the full attention of an experienced editor that will bring it to polished perfection. As many copyeditors will tell you, editing is not a “which hunt.” The rules of grammar and style are there to help readers understand your writing and get immersed in your story; knowing how to break rules with finesse can make your voice unique.
I offer copyediting, proofreading, and audio proofing services for a variety of projects ranging from book manuscripts to presentations.

Testimonials
“Alexandra’s editorial insight into the manuscript has been invaluable. She has an eye for word use, grammar, and structure; however, her copyediting skills go well beyond these concepts. Her constructive criticism regarding ‘head hopping’ or shifting limited third-person perspective really made the work pop off the page, as well as her other suggestions regarding the reordering of information. Aside from these talents, Alexandra showed her ability to communicate well throughout the process.”
Joe Thomas, writer
“Alexandra is such a delight to work with! She is warm and personable. She ensured that I kept my voice in my writing. The best aspects of working with her are how she is relatable, she shares what she has enjoyed in your work, and she elevates your writing. Her flexibility, quick turnaround, and precise work ethic are additional reasons why everyone should work with her.”
