Why editing?

In June 2022, I discovered my passion not only for writing and publishing books but helping other authors do the same, which is why I decided to launch my freelance editorial services. I love storytelling, the writing craft, and helping others take one step closer to accomplishing their goals.

I have been studying the writing craft for the past seven years now and have learned so much. I am actively taking editing classes and have recently earned a Poynter ACES Certificate in Editing as well as a EFA Certificate in Proofreading and Copyediting with The Chicago Manual of Style. I also have six years of experience as an English teacher in Japan. What knowledge I've gained I want to pass on to others so that their writing can benefit from the various tools, resources, and knowledge I've gained from years of in-depth study.

Over my decade of writing and seven years of studying, I've learned so many things that made me say, "Wow, I wish someone had taught me that so I didn't make that mistake in my writing." I want to be that someone who can save you time, help you grow in your skills at storytelling, and share what knowledge I've acquired.

As an author, I know how difficult it can be to find a professional who can work within a limited price range, and for many, it requires either a big financial investment or sacrificing quality (professional edits) for quantity (affordable edits). 

My goal is to be affordable to authors and help bring their manuscripts to their fullest potential at an affordable price, which is why my services are listed at a rate much lower than many other editors. Since launching my business last year, I've had the honor of working on over fifty manuscripts and helping authors take one giant step closer to publishing their books.
