**Open for new projects, and I'd love to hear what you're working on. Send me a message through chat, and we can have a real conversation about your manuscript, goals, and the support that would help you most.** I've been editing for over six years now, and I've had the privilege of working on more than 370 projects across fiction and nonfiction. That range has given me a flexible, adaptable approach. Whether you're writing a business book that needs sharper logic or a novel that needs a stronger emotional throughline, I know how to tailor my work to what your story or message truly needs. My philosophy is simple. **Your voice is the heart of your book.** My job is not to change that voice, but to make sure it comes through clearly and confidently, and without distraction. I see myself as your partner in the process, not someone who takes over. Here's what writers tend to appreciate most about working with me. First, I dig deep. I don't just look for typos or awkward sentences. I look for what's working, what's not, and what could be so much stronger. One author left a review after successfully completing an edit of their latest manuscript: "She has an ability to interpret meaning and read between the lines. She understood and strengthened the project's weaknesses." Another said simply, "Esther turned a good book into a great book." Second, I'm meticulous. I care about the small things because they add up to something big: a clean, polished, seamless reading experience. Writers often tell me my edits improve clarity and flow while keeping the heart of their text completely intact. One called me "a detailed and meticulous editor" and said they couldn't praise my work enough. Another mentioned my "eagle eye" and called me "a master of my craft," adding that I'm "honest yet gentle" with my critiques. Third, I'm reliable. I respect your time, deadlines, and vision. I communicate clearly and consistently. One client said I was "one of the best resources I have ever had" and that I delivered outstanding work on schedule. Another described me as "a dream to work with, professional, efficient, and incredibly respectful of my voice as a writer." And I'll admit, this one meant a lot: someone noted that I check in even after I've been paid, just to make sure nothing was left hanging. One author summed up what I hope every client experiences: "Esther improved my manuscript significantly in a very short period of time. After working with other editors who did not do well, she performed best in my tests to hire an editor who would keep the author's voice and smooth the text." They trusted me with their full nonfiction manuscript and they were happy with the result. Whether you're writing your first book or your fifth, I want you to feel supported, heard, and excited about the finished product. That's what drives me. So if any of this resonates, reach out. Tell me about your project, your timeline, and what you're hoping for. I'd genuinely love to hear from you and see if we're a good fit.

His initial support has already proved essential to helping Leapwise improve our marketing offer.” James Sweetland, Senior Consultant, Leapwise (direct client). ---- ★★★★★ "Rick was consistently communicative and easy to work with. The asynchronous nature of the collaboration worked especially well for me, allowing space for reflection without pressure while still keeping things moving. I appreciated his thoughtfulness and professionalism throughout the process." Upwork client. ---- ★★★★★ "I've been raving about how easy Richard made it to have my code reviewed. The feedback was invaluable!" Upwork client, website audit. ---- ★★★★★ “Richard was the best freelancer (of many) I've worked with on Upwork. He is very dependable, quick and clear in communication, and I could trust that he could handle little hiccups independently. I did not need to micro-manage at all and was relieved to simply see the work being done in a fair and thoughtful way with great attention to detail. In the one instance where there was a hiccup (Wordpress glitch-not user error), Richard offered to absorb the 1-2 hrs it would take for him to re-do it sufficiently, even though it wasn't his fault. Standup guy, skilled, and great to work with. I'll be back next time I have a job that fits his skillset, for sure!” Upwork client. ---- ★★★★★ “Rick did great work and we were all thoroughly impressed. Highly recommended!” Upwork client. ---- ★★★★★ “Richard (Rick) has been doing a great job for us. He's organised, communicates clearly and does high quality work. We will definitely keep working with him.” Upwork client.
