Colin Montgomery - Editor

I am a creative writer and editor with extensive editing experience with creative writing and university-level critical essay writing. I have a Masters of Arts and Bachelors of Art from New York University and a Masters in Education at Brooklyn College. While working at New York University's Writing Center as an undergraduate, I served as a peer editor for three years. I received extensive training with faculty and followed student writing assignments through the draft cycle over the course of a semester. On the creative end, I have been editor-at-large for the experimental fiction magazine theNewerYork for three years. Under both positions, I wrote detailed, professional editing recommendations and reviews of varying types of work for emerging and established writers.

In addition, I'm fluent in French (my Bachelors and Masters are in French and French Studies) and have taught English in France. I have extensive experience working with Francophones and with English language learners and would love the chance work work with writers and speakers of English as a second or other language on their work.

Expect thoughtful, professional and creative feedback on a piece, be it fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, based on your needs. I am happy to offer feedback as margin comments and/or in cover letter form. Any collaboration is based on your needs and availability. Fees are reasonable and negotiable, starting at $7/page.
