About me
Hi! I'm Isabel, a native English speaker with a deep passion for editing. My education has been a mix of in-classroom and real-life experience. As I pursued my degree in English Literature, I learned the ins and outs of technical writing, while the past three years of freelance editing have taught me that sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation are just the tip of the iceberg. Hundreds of little aspects - from flow, to narrative, to clarity, and beyond - are what can make writing not just good, but great.

    I was thrilled to receive all of Isabell's suggestions. She did a fantastic job, not only with line editing but also by making valuable suggestions to round out the story. Her keen eye for detail helped catch errors I had missed, and her insights on character development and plot pacing were incredibly helpful. She provided thoughtful feedback on how to enhance the emotional depth of key scenes and offered creative ideas to strengthen the overall narrative. Isabell's contributions have significantly improved the manuscript, and I feel much more confident about my story thanks to her expert guidance.

    I can't thank Isabel enough for all her help! Her analysis report was excellent. She pointed out my areas of weakness with care while also encouraging me. She didn't just say what aspects she enjoyed, but explained why, which was encouraging and extremely helpful :) I really appreciate all her hard work! And I hope to work with her again!!!
