Oksana Marafioti – Editor

I'm a bestselling and award-winning memoirist, teacher, and editor. I love books and writers!

Although I write full-time, my true calling has always been teaching. In this capacity, I've helped hundreds of writers improve their craft, reach their goals, and really fall in love with their narratives. I think this experience makes me the perfect editing partner for writers.

I'm an experienced editor with a demonstrated history of working in the writing and editing industry, skilled in developmental/copy editing and proofreading, as well as in web content and journalism. I speak three languages, which makes me quite comfortable working with non-native English speakers. Need a ghostwriter? I can do that, too. I'm very punctual and always meet my deadlines. I think staying on task with things comes from my experience homeschooling my two kids, one of whom started college at sixteen. Writing projects are exciting, no matter the stage. Where most writers shrink away from editing, I embrace it. There's nothing better than helping bring a story to life, and most of the time, the journey of getting there takes more than one person.

I work hard for my writers because I believe that if you've come this far in your writing journey, it means you have something important to say and that you need to be heard.

I'm a college English/Literature professor, and I love helping other writers reach their potential so much that I also teach creative writing courses and host professional writer talks at a writing studio I founded in 2016.
