EDITING SERVICES & SENSITIVITY READING
THROUGH MY SIGNATURE EDITING AND SENSITIVITY READING SERVICES, I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A MANUSCRIPT THAT IS POLISHED AND READY FOR PRINT.
Editing is more than working with words on a page. It is making connections with people. It is recogniving the power of the stories we tell and helping authors share their words with clarity and honour.
MEET THE EDITOR
Hi there!
Since a young age, I have always loved writing and reading. Working with words has been a constant passion and throughline in my life and is why I felt called to become a professional editor. Helping authors and publishers bring words to the page and new voices into the world is the keystone of my work. I value forging connections and long lasting relationships with publishing professionals so that we can continue to work together time and time again.
SOME CLIENT LOVE
"SHE WAS NOT ONLY EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL, BUT ALSO FRIENDLY AND VERY EASY TO WORK WITH."
“I worked with Lisa in order to get help with a book I am writing. She was not only extremely professional, but also friendly and very easy to work with. She delivered the work to me on time, and kept me up to date on progress, especially with some of the more difficult files that she worked on. I would highly recommend her — and in fact will likely be contracting with her again as I move into the later stages of my book. Great work!”
