Structured feedback from an experienced editor, so your readers can focus on the content.
I offer professional editing and proofreading services to help you improve your writing. More than just suggesting changes, my priority is to help you learn, so that you become a strong self-editor. My measure of success is when editorial clients don’t need to come back!
I’ve been freelance editing since 2011 across projects including nonfiction articles, short stories, novel-length works, creative nonfiction, essays, white papers, resumes, PowerPoints, and even entire websites. I will help you improve your writing, even if you aren’t writing professionally yet, and give you actionable feedback on your work so you can submit or hit publish with confidence.
Finally, while I’m a business, I’m also an individual. I do not use ghostwriters. You will work with me—a professional editor who really cares about your project—directly every step of the way. Let’s get started!

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Laura’s work. She is absolutely excellent at what she does. I have hired copywriters in the past and was about to give up looking for someone who could help me when I found Laura. She is a very talented writer, always on-time with deadlines, devoted to delivering an excellent product no matter what the project, under-promises and over-delivers every time, and just plain easy to work with. If you have any copywriting or editing needs you will be more than happy with the results when you hire Laura.
