I always felt that you were truly interested in listening to my experiences over the course of the years. There was heartfelt empathy as you gathered the ups and downs of my life. It seemed like I was talking to an old friend. I was amazed by your patience over the course of our 3 two hour interviews. In the end, you were able to take my rambling words and condense them into a concise narrative that captured my thoughts. I appreciate all your hard work and would certainly recommend you to others. " - Eric Smith. ** " Jackie did a great job of communicating and was always professional and punctual. The story she had to write was about a person from another culture, gender, and generation, yet she seemed to capture the voice of the person telling the story. I was impressed with her talent as a writer and her actions as a professional. She told the story the way it was meant to be told.

My story only needed a couple of rounds of minor edits, and Jackie was very accommodating about working with me to make the changes I requested." - Hardy Brooklyn, Model and Performance Artist. ** " Jackie was amazing to work with. I told a story, and she wrote it as the days I was living it. She’s super patient, kind, and an A-plus writer! Thanks, Jackie! Can’t wait to work with you again in the near future! " - Monique Leshman, Fashion and Accessories Designer. **" Jackie is a good listener and creative. Most of all, she is punctual and talented. I would recommend her." - Aime Muligo Sindayigaya ** “Jackie, you are amazing!! The formatting looks so good. I prayed for God to send me an angel to help me tell my dad’s story, and He sent you. Again, I wanted to thank you for your gift of storytelling and patience and for embracing the history that needed to be shared. I am so blessed to have known you and worked with you. Much love to you.” - (name withheld.)

    I am a passionate editor and writer, whose experience runs the gamut: from authoring opinion based culture pieces, to in-depth grant writing, to producing comprehensive academic work, to book editing. Some see the nature of editing as drawing a red line over another’s ideas. I believe it is, more pointedly, the task of identifying and magnifying the best parts of somebody else’s work. It is to see the potential that lies within and cut through the noise to amplify the strongest points. It’s a collective act, rooted in shared goals. It’s teamwork. The best editor/writer relationships are built on a bedrock of mutual respect and trust, and I will work with you to build that rapport. I love discussing ideas, providing rationale for my suggestions, and altogether collaborating towards an end product that we’re both proud of.

    I have been a full-time freelance copywriter, book author, and editor for 20 years. I have written 42 commercially published nonfiction print books (11 under my own name and 32 ghostwritten) for such publishers as Penguin Random House, Macmillan, Hay House, Hyperion, Perseus, Little Brown, New World Library, and more. I'm regularly recommended to authors by literary agents and publishers, and I'm frequently hired as an editor or proofreader by publishing houses. I have also edited more than 70 books and book proposals for individuals, publishers, and literary agents. These books have won 50+ awards, including the Best Beach Books Festival Grand Prize, and two were NY Times bestsellers. I line edit/copy edit, as well as developmentally edit, which usually includes structural "book doctoring" and advice as to the "publishability" of the book. I can vary my level of editing based on your needs. Here is what literary agent Wendy Sherman said about me: “Melanie is a total pro and a pleasure to work with. My clients have truly benefited from and enjoyed collaborating with Melanie on book proposals and books that sell.” My client Debra Fine, author of "The Fine Art of Small Talk" and "The Fine Art of the Big Talk" had this to say: “Melanie is a talented writer/editor who helped me with the editing of one of my books and was instrumental in the polishing of my manuscript. I admire her work ethic and have already recommended her to a friend, who has also been very happy with her work. I would not hesitate to recommend Melanie again to anyone who needs writing or editing assistance.” Note that at one time, I had more than 100 perfect 5.0 feedbacks, but the majority of my work is not done through Upwork. So, much of my feedback seems to be missing now because it was from a while ago. If you scroll through, you'll find some of my high level feedback from the past. I can provide more testimonials upon request. Back to my experience, I have also written marketing and website SEO copy for many industries including medicine/health, dentistry, law, retail, food, IT, fashion, adult, education, real estate, and non-profit. I have experience both giving and writing speeches as well. I have also written articles for national magazines such as Woman's Day, Business Insider, Just Luxe, South China Morning Post, and Medical Economics, and I have written ebooks and online articles as well. Additionally, I'm a magna cum laude college graduate with a B.A. in English.

    With expertise in the trade publishing industry, I am prepared to polish writing and prepare manuscripts/queries for submission to literary agents and hybrid publishing houses. While earning my English BA from Ithaca College, I held positions as Copy Editor for the on-campus publication, Distinct Magazine, and Associate Editor for the Ithaca College Honors Symposium Journal. Through developmental edits and extensive fact-checking, I digitally collaborated with writers 1:1 to help them reach their potential. Following graduation, I joined one of the world's top literary agencies, Writers House, and interned with a Senior Agent. Following this, I served as Assistant to the President/Senior Agent at Browne & Miller Literary Associates for over a year. At both these roles, I extensively edited client manuscripts, sifted through hundreds of queries, and highlighted projects suitable for acquisition based on market trends. Primarily, I worked with upmarket, literary, and historical fiction.
