Greetings! My name is Evan Rhoades, and I am an experienced editor and author. This is my full-time job and my greatest passion. I started my journey as an editor studying, writing, and editing all genres of fiction and poetry at Northwest University where I earned my BA in English. Afterward, I spent two years learning from some of the greatest poets and writers in the country, graduating from the University of Saint Thomas with my MFA in creative writing. Since then, I have spent thousands of hours working as a writer and editor for numerous authors, helping them craft compelling stories. My greatest aspiration is to write and perfect stories—to come into your project with just as much love and passion as you have, and to come out with a book that absolutely blows your readers away. Writing is a long, hard journey to walk alone. I want to come alongside you, share the load, and ensure you and your readers make it to the end of the road with a smile, a laugh, and an abiding sense of enchantment. I can't wait to bring my life-long passion for editing to your project! Visit Rhoadeswriting.com to learn more about me and my editing services!

I'm a seasoned copy editor with more than a decade of experience and a passion for helping people communicate through clear and effective writing. My experience includes: - 5 years as a senior editor for a leading online editing firm, where I edited more than 13 million words' worth of documents for a diverse international clientele - 5+ years as a freelance editor - my own award-winning master's thesis and "beautifully written" doctoral dissertation - 8 academic publications, both solo and co-authored, in top-ranked peer-reviewed journals I hold a PhD in Applied Linguistics with a focus on second-language writing. My expertise spans academic content in the social sciences and education, nonfiction manuscripts, and business content such as whitepapers, business reports, slide decks, and other professional communications. I specialize in applying APA style (7th ed.) and Chicago style (18th ed.). Writing is challenging, and that’s why I bring empathy and a supportive approach to every editing project. My goal is to understand your needs and goals as a writer, then offer edits and constructive feedback to help you connect with your audience and communicate your message effectively. I specialize in working with multilingual writers and people with dyslexia. If you’ve ever feared that your writing could hold you back or make you look less capable than you are, I understand and I can help. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your editing needs! Testimonials from my previous clients: “A few words to describe Nina: thorough, precise, patient, communicative, on-time, kind, fair, a life saver. Of particular note is Nina’s range of what she can offer—whether it is correcting my myriad spelling errors, righting upside-down grammar or mapping an entire novel for continuity errors, Nina seems able to handle whatever I throw at her. Honestly, handing Nina a huge mess and getting back a clean, streamlined draft is one of life’s small miracles. As a writer, I have no idea how I would function without her.” Fiction Writer San Francisco, United States “Precise, professional, and thoughtful, Nina’s editing work outperforms other editing services I have used over the years. Her ability to respect my voice and intention is exceptional. I highly recommend Nina.” Professor of Language & Literacy Education Vancouver, Canada “I have been working with Nina for several years. She was exceptionally helpful with editing my book and several academic journal articles. The level of detail in her edits and the thoughtful, informative comments that she provides are unmatched. Nothing escapes her critical eye—from small typos and APA style violations, to unclear arguments or imprecise word choice. I am particularly impressed with how versed she is in the jargon, writing style and major concepts across various disciplines. This allows her to make very astute suggestions that I did not expect someone outside of my field to be able to make. I know that running anything by her before submitting it for publication will take it to the next level.” Associate Professor of Communication at Chapman University Orange County, United States “Nina is extremely meticulous, rigorous, and professional, offering detailed comments and clear suggestions. Beyond proofreading, she has also explained how particular conventions and linguistic rules apply to my writing, thereby helping me to further improve my writing beyond the reviewed text. Our collaboration began 8 years ago during my dissertation writing, and since then, I have continued to rely on her expertise. We have exchanged various academic and professional documents, including CVs, cover letters, conference proposals, and research papers. Despite the era of generative AI, I will continue to work with her as she elevates my writing, simultaneously helping me to maintain my academic voice and style. She remains a trusted friend and colleague whom I greatly value working with. Thank you, Nina, for your invaluable contributions!” Academic Researcher and Instructor Winnipeg, Canada

I’ve always been a writer. As a student, I preferred essay questions over multiple choice. I love the precise connotations of words, the nuances of language, and the challenge of bringing life and movement to my words. Over a lifetime, I’ve written for diverse audiences, on diverse subject matters, over a wide variety of formats: autobiographies, family histories, executive correspondence, investigative reports for corporations, product descriptions, marketing brochures, newsletters, training and policy manuals, and more. I will meet you at any stage of your project, whether starting from scratch, rewriting your notes, or tweaking your written drafts, and we’ll end up with polished, expressive, and meaningful words. I look forward to working with you.

To amplify people's voices and honor their stories—that is why I do this work. From stories about surviving genocide to personal statements about why someone became a pediatric physician, editing each story deepens my resolve as an editor. I know how difficult it can be to share one's truth in a world that doesn't always make space for it. I myself had to break conventional norms to make space for my own truth as a non-binary Khmer American. But there is a liberation that can be found only in one's own written words. If you haven't found it yet, I will help you find it now. I am not here to enforce rules; I am here to help you follow rules when you want to follow them and, more importantly, break the rules when you want to break them. My priority is ensuring that your voice is heard exactly as you had intended. Instead of snuffing out your voice with rigid corrections, I will help your fire show through the smoke. What I bring to every project: ✔️ Experience editing for diverse audiences, including technical documents in healthcare ✔️ A descriptivist approach that values impact over rigid norms ✔️ Strength in both writing and editing emotionally complex narratives ✔️ Editing certification from the University of Washington ✔️ A collaborative mindset—I work with clients until we’re 150% satisfied Wherever you want to take your writing, I’d love to help you get there.

WHAT I OFFER: Based on your needs, I am available to copyedit, developmental edit, line edit, proofread, beta read, write curricula, or ghostwrite fiction. DEFINITIONS OF EDITING SERVICES I OFFER: Developmental editing looks at the big picture.

When I was eight years old, I wrote a letter to my state senator advocating for the protection of a genetically rare deer herd. Enough people like me raised their voices, and eventually the deer gained conservation rights. It was then that I discovered the power of words to drive positive change. I stored that electrifying feeling in my heart and let it shape who I am today. I help individuals and organizations craft unshakeable messaging that attracts funders, gains national attention, and gives their voice credibility. I thrive supporting mission-based work because I believe in the power of collective action and grassroots organizing. I’m the strategic advantage my clients use to stop putting tasks on the back burner and start seeing their goals dance across the finish line. My friends and family would describe me as introverted, silly, and thoughtful. When I’m not helping my clients share their stories with the world, I can be found planning my next thru-hike, cooking a savory noodle dish, or snuggling my spunky black cat.

Sophy R.

- (1 job)
My name is Sophy, and I'm a published dark fantasy author with experiences in high level critique and editing. Throughout my writing and publishing experience, I've recognized that the editing process is more than just a dreaded bump in the road of story-telling. It's more than just picking apart the words and correcting mistakes. It's a partnership. Skilled and honest editing helps writers finetune and shape their story into the one they always wanted to tell. I'm familiar with several genres, but specialize mostly in fantasy and its subgenres. I've written, edited, formatted, and self-published an 80,000+ word novel, and have experience working with several critique partners and professional editors. I can provide insight on the writing, formatting, and publishing process along with my edits. If you're interested in hiring me: - I offer a free editing trial. You send me a chapter or sample from your writing, and I provide my editing and critiquing services. From there, we can decide if we'd like to continue working together. - I'm honest and thorough. A good editor doesn't shy away. When I was publishing my own novel, I valued every piece of advice my editor provided, not matter how hard it was to take. - I mainly work in Google Docs, but I am flexible.

In fourth grade, I loudly declared, “When I grow up, I want to be a teacher and a writer!” No one bothered to tell me that neither teachers nor writers make very much money because they all assumed my interests would change. It wasn’t until nine years later when I was accepted to Stanford as a prospective English major and education minor, that people started raising eyebrows. “Why would you want to attend such a prestigious college if you could study those things anywhere?” they asked. My answer: “Because I want to be the best teacher and the best writer.” Three years later, I am a senior—still an English major, still an education minor, and still passionate about both writing and teaching. I am eager to get a start on my career because who says writers and teachers can’t make money?
