Rochelle Deans - Editor
Portland, OR
I’m your go-to editor for manuscripts that need a finishing touch. Academic and YA fiction specialties. Content editor and proofreader.
Overview
I graduated magna cum laude from George Fox University with a degree in writing and literature. Immediately after graduating, I began my career as an editor: for technical resources for an environmental agency. After a year or two on the job, I knew I should have been more specific when I said my dream job was to edit. Since then, I have edited academic dissertations, non-fiction books, and novels, all of which I find more engaging. There is nothing like working when you love your work.
