Emily Hatesohl – Editor

Copy editor with ten years of experience editing religious books, memoirs, academic texts, and children's books for two major publishers

Overview

I have ten years of editing experience, a master's degree in English composition, and a passion for making your writing the best it can be. I have edited everything from children's books to scholarly journals, business books to human interest books, quarterly magazines to blog posts. I have edited for Concordia Publishing House for ten years and have freelanced for Rowman & Littlefield for two years.

I love collaborating with authors on their projects. I'll make sure to keep your voice while polishing any rough patches. I tend to ask plenty of questions and let you know what I'm doing along the way. I am an obsessive fact-checker, grammar nerd, and self-proclaimed punctuation queen. My education level and work experience have prepared me to take a job and run with it, giving you back a polished product. I'm easy to work with and happy to help!

Emily was so helpful! Her communication was always very prompt, her editing was thorough, and her pricing was incredibly fair. She made my work stronger without changing my voice, and that was my main goal in finding an editor. Very grateful for Emily's help!
