Freelance Editing

Erin N. Price, Editor

Do you need a freelance editor for a writing project? I just might be the editor you’re looking for!

I hold a bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in editing and a master’s degree in publishing. I have more than fifteen years of experience editing everything from college essays to novels.

I’m experienced in editing:

  • School essays for elementary school through college
  • College application essays
  • Resumes and cover letters
  • Academic papers
  • Novels
  • Short stories
  • Web/advertising copy and blogs

I formerly worked in the web marketing field, so I am proficient in editing web and advertising copy.

I currently work in education, where I edit essays from students in many different grades and subjects. I’ve edited everything from fifth grade persuasive essays all the way to college applications, resumes, and cover letters. I also have experience editing academic journal articles, PhD dissertations, educational curriculum–you name it, I’ve probably edited it!

Finally, I’m a fiction writer with a passion for middle grade and young adult novels. I have attended writing conferences and worked with a writing group for many years. With a degree in publishing and experience publishing my own work, I want to help you find the right niche for your writing in a difficult market.

No matter which type of writing you’re working on, I can help make it sing so you can clearly communicate with and impress your readers, teachers, future employers, or whomever your audience might be.
