Hailey Scragg

Hailey Scragg – Editor

I'm an author and editor with over seven years of children's publishing experience.

Overview

My publishing experience comes from editing all stages of educational fiction and nonfiction. From developing book ideas, fact-checking manuscripts, copy editing stories, to proofreading those almost-finished works, I love every step of the process. While my experience is primarily in educational content, I am looking forward to branching out and editing other types of text.

I'm a gifted communicator, a great project manager, and editing is my passion. Because I've been an author and editor, I know how it feels to be on the other side, and my mindset when editing reflects that. My approach to editing is detailed and meticulous, but also thoughtful and kind. I look forward to hearing about your project and making it the best it can be!
