Overview
Hi! I’m Ariel, and I’ve been working with Authors and Publishers for the past 5 years. From cookbooks to children’s books, academic papers to short fiction; I’ve done it all. Authors I’ve worked with include bestsellers Marissa Moss and Ying Compestine, among others. I’ve also published my own work in various journals, but my true passion lies in editing.
Since graduating from the Columbia Publishing Course at Oxford in the summer of 2018, I’ve been working as a remote editor of content for Little Feminist and as a freelance editor and publishing consultant. I’m delighted to bring my experienced eye to Reedsy and help you make your work shine!
Whether you already have an 800 page manuscript or are staring at a blank page, I can help you achieve that professional polish you're looking for.Services
