Pride in Excellence

You’ve worked hard on your book, article, dissertation, or marketing materials. You know it’s good, but you want it to look professional. You want to ensure that your grammar is correct, that text is spelled and punctuated correctly, that you’ve used the clearest possible words to express your ideas, and that your document is logically organized. You need that fresh pair of eyes to honestly share how to make your text shine—to suggest improvements that you as the author may not see.

A professional editor:

  • Helps you tell your story.
  • Provides respectful feedback.
  • Teaches you how to become a better writer.
  • Takes care of your “baby” and helps it mature.
  • Improves your language while maintaining your unique voice.

"Lea is a professional, skilled editor and a pleasure to work with. She always asks the right questions to ensure the copy is the best it can be. Lea has provided helpful feedback and insightful editing with my stories; I trust her opinions and she responds with aplomb."

"Lea helped me in so many ways with my technical writing. She taught me to become a better writer. Her edits helped supplement the nuts and bolts that I learned in the classroom. As a beginner technical writer, my eyes were opened wide to reality. I needed a mentor, I needed to really learn grammar, I needed to learn how to better organize information, and so much more. Lea helped me and I'm grateful for that."

"Lea has a remarkable eye for intricate details, including minuscule typos or questions of style. She also paid close attention to the content, pointing out inconsistencies and redundancies and asking the right questions. She is committed to researching etymologies and usage when it comes down to subtle nuances."

“Lea is by far the best editor I’ve ever worked with. She knew our style guide inside and out and really drove consistency across our documentation set. Her passion for quality and attention to detail really came across in her edits. Lea is also highly technical. She didn’t just read the words; she loaded product builds and walked through the UI as she edited content. I’ve done a bit of editing myself throughout my career in technical communication, and I look to Lea as my role model. Anyone who hires Lea should consider themselves very lucky!”

“Lea’s editing has helped me become a better writer. She asked insightful questions. She also shared and explained her knowledge so I didn’t continue to make the same grammatical mistakes. The proof came from an agent who wrote, “Your manuscript is so clean!” Lea’s work made me look good and, as a result, I feel more professional.”
