Alicia Balderrama – Editor

My name is Alicia, and I am a seasoned editor specializing in copy edits and proofreading. I am experienced with a variety of genres, but my true love is fiction. More recently I have focused on young adult and middle grade fiction, but I will happily take on any project that speaks to me.My education includes a bachelor’s degree in communication with an emphasis in journalism, as well as my daily episode of Jeopardy!I have spent the last eight years editing for traditional publishers (including Penguin Random House, Scholastic, and Candlewick Press), indie publishers, and many self-publishing authors. At the end of the day, my goal is to help every author produce the best manuscript possible, no matter which publishing route they take.I look forward to turning your manuscript into a masterpiece. I can’t wait to work with you! *Please note that I do not provide developmental editing or indexing services at this time.Client Testimonials:

While being new to the path of authorship and the field of editing, I must say Alicia has provided me with a great experience. This editor I felt did a great job in picking up my writing style and combing insightfully through my manuscript. This has been a great experience, thank you.

Thank you so much for your corrections, recommendations, and comments. Your comments have been very encouraging, and I am now feeling a little more confident about the entire manuscript than I was before. I really appreciate all the suggestions/amendments you have made—it definitely looks a lot better now! Thank you so much once again! You have been extremely helpful and kind.

I always am very satisfied with your work! Unlike other editors, you are always careful not to change my original meanings. I also like the way you make changes for clarity. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
