    I believe the role of an editor is to help writers express themselves as clearly and eloquently as possible. This requires honesty, sensitivity, excellent communication, a collaborative mindset, and an obsessive attention to detail, and I'd like to think I embody all of these traits. But don't take my word for it - my 100% job success score should tell you how my wonderful clients have felt about their experience, and the feelings are mutual. Beyond my reviews here on Upwork, many of my clients include me in their acknowledgments, which is deeply gratifying. One author even gave me top billing when he released his political thriller: “My sincere thanks to my editor, Lisa Messinger, who turned this from a rough manuscript with lots of sharp edges, into a smooth, polished work.” Variety is the spice of life, and that holds true in editing as well. Learning new things from the wide range of content on which I work is for me one of the best things about being an editor. I'm always looking to forge long-term relationships and am happy to work on any type of content, though my primary focus is manuscripts: *Fiction, from short stories to full-length novels (all sub-genres): adult, YA, middle grade *Non-fiction: memoir, historical, self-help/personal empowerment I am passionate about my work, and consider it a privilege to be able to employ my experience, skills and expertise to help writers realize their goal of creating compelling content. You can trust that I will be as invested as you are in the quality of your final draft. Reach out to me and let's get started. Together we'll crystallize your vision using the power and beauty of the written word. I look forward to working with you!
