Natalia Vázquez Torres – Editor

[PLEASE READ: I'm currently booked through Fall and closed for new requests. I will reopen in December for new-client bookings.]

Hi! I am Natalia, a Latine editor and writer who absolutely LOVES fiction. I worked as an acquiring editor at Charlesbridge, where I did developmental edits and project management for many children's books. I now work as a production and managing editor at Levine Querido, which involves maintaining book production schedules, copyediting, and proofreading for children's books to ensure they meet production deadlines. My editing skills have been honed through reading, writing, and earning an MFA in Creative Writing and Publishing from Emerson College.

I enjoy editing stories that are character-driven and explore emotional journeys. I love fantasy and speculative fiction but a good, well-grounded journey in the real world also excites me, especially if there is adventure or romance.

I believe in the representation of voices that have not been allowed space in publishing before, and I also think characters should represent who we are on the daily. Because of this, I have also worked on books that have bilingual voices, with two languages intermingled throughout the story. If this is something you are interested in exploring, I can help you make it happen effectively; be it in the developmental editing stage, or during the copyediting and/or proofreading phases of your book, to make sure they blend smoothly, while still maintaining clarity for the reader. I can work on texts that mix in Spanish, Portuguese or French.

Whatever your needs are, I am eager to help. Reach out so we can chat more about how we can work together on making your books come to life!
