As a publishing professional for a decade and freelance writer published in a wide variety of cultural and literary publications (and a former teacher!) I’m obsessed with discovering excellent stories and telling them well.

I’m available for publishing consultation, developmental editing, and copyediting/proofreading.

TESTIMONIALS

I recently sought Carla’s guidance on a proposal I am working on for my memoir. I cannot express enough how great the experience was. From our first conversation, Carla took the time to understand my vision and the message I wanted to convey.

With Carla’s insightful feedback, I could hone in on my goals and refine my narrative in an authentic and powerful way. She immediately grasped who I am and what my roadblocks are in telling this story. She helped me navigate the complexities of my story, encouraging me to dig deeper and clarify my voice and who my audience is.  The constructive feedback strengthened what I have written so far, instilled a newfound confidence in my writing, and forced me to consider new ways to challenge myself and ask questions I had never considered.

Her support gave me a clearer vision of my project and a renewed sense of purpose. I wholeheartedly recommend Carla to any writer seeking an editor who is skilled and deeply invested in helping you achieve your goals. I had hit a wall and often wondered if it was time to give up. She helped me realize that while writing a book is hard to do, I have a story worth telling and can do this!

Thank you, Carla, for your invaluable support and expertise! I look forward to our continued collaboration.

Entering the world of writing was daunting, but Carla's expertise and passion transformed my anxieties into boosts of confidence. Carla worked on my 130k word fantasy novel manuscript as my copyeditor, and not only has she performed an incredible job beyond what I imagined, but she's taught me many valuable lessons to strengthen my sentence structure for future writing projects. Not only has her feedback been effective and efficient, but she's also ensured every suggestion is made to enhance my voice in the writing. Truly, Carla is a one-of-a-kind editor, and I've already recommended her to several writers!
