Emily Delagrange, Editor in Columbus, OH, USA

Overview

I've approached this writing thing from a lot of different angles; as an English major at Ohio State (Go Bucks), an academic writing tutor, a staff writer/editor, and now a freelance copyeditor/proofreader. I spent several years at a small scholastic publishing company with a K-8 audience, before branching out on my own. As such, I have a lot of experience bouncing between genres and subjects. No matter what the project, my goal is the same: to make you sound like the best version of yourself while preserving your voice.
