About this service

Summary

I will help you craft a powerful personal essay or story from a concept or rough draft. I’ll refine the narrative, enhance the emotional arc, and polish the language to make it publish-ready.

FAQs

  • What exactly do you mean by 'editing and rewriting'?

    I work with your draft to strengthen its narrative arc, clarity, and emotional impact. This can involve restructuring for flow, refining language, and sharpening themes—all while ensuring the final piece remains unmistakably in your authentic voice.

  • How do you ensure my unique voice isn't lost in the edit?

    Preserving your voice is my primary goal. My edits focus on amplifying your natural expression, not replacing it. I work as a collaborative guide, not a ghostwriter, to ensure the polished piece feels like a more powerful version of your story.

  • How do you handle sensitive or vulnerable personal material?

    With the utmost respect and confidentiality. Your story and trust are paramount. All work is treated as strictly confidential, and I approach each narrative with empathy and care, focusing on how to tell it with strength and clarity.

  • What shape does my draft need to be in for you to work with it?

    I can work with anything from a complete but rough draft to a collection of ideas and notes. The key is that you have the core experience or story you want to tell. My role is to help find the best structure and words to express it.

  • What if I want changes after seeing the edited draft?

    The included round of revisions is for exactly that. We'll discuss your feedback on the edited version, and I'll implement changes to ensure you are completely satisfied with the final piece, ensuring it's ready for publication or personal use.
