Editing
Are you holding back from sharing your writing because you’re afraid it isn’t good enough? Are you worried about little errors? Or do you need help making it more efficient without losing your message?
I want to help. I graduated with a Journalism degree. I have written for newspapers and radio stations, and I’ve taught literature online. But I especially enjoy editing. I love supporting writers and helping them make their writing as strong as they dreamed it would be.
Experience
I have experience editing:
academic essays
journalism articles for print and radio
blog posts
a sewing pattern for digital download
novels
short stories
I’m confident with multiple style guides, including the Chicago Manual of Style and the Associated Press handbook.
You can message me for my current rates and availability or for a sample edit of your manuscript. If you prefer e-mail, contact me at natalieglasereditor@gmail.com.
Testimonials
“Working with Natalie on the opening chapters of my manuscript was a truly invaluable resource for my novel-writing journey! Natalie was genuinely enthusiastic about my story, and her feedback was a great mix of positive reactions and insightful critique. The pages I sent her had seen the highest level of polishing by myself and other readers, but Natalie found details and discrepancies that I had missed even after hundreds of read-throughs. It's tough to send your novel into the hands of someone else specifically to point out its flaws, but Natalie did so with a warm, generous manner and a clear intent to help my writing shine.”
-April, writer
“I highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a top-notch editor! She did an incredible job refining the pattern and instructions for my Etsy shop. Natalie was supportive about my vision and also clear in her suggestions and edits. Her attention to detail and expertise made a huge difference, and she helped to bring a professional quality to my product. If you want an editor that is caring and thorough, Natalie is the editor for you!”
-Ashley, Etsy shop owner
"When Natalie edits my blog posts, she helps me take a step back and look at my work as if someone didn't know me and had never read my words before. She points out where I need to clarify or add context but also compliments me on what I've composed well. Plus, she uses words like 'gerunds' and gently shows me how to use them properly! If you're looking to tighten your prose and clarify your message, Natalie will be a fabulous asset to your writing."
-Gretchen Louise, blogger
