    BUSINESS ☽ CREATIVE ☾ ACADEMIC ► Content editing — big picture attention to style, structure, and story-telling elements. ► Line editing — focused attention to word choice, clarity, pacing, and flow. ► Proofreading — ensuring flawless punctuation and grammar, and that your final product is properly formatted and free from typos. If you need a second pair of eyes (and let's be honest—who doesn't?), I'm here to help. Whether your project is business or personal, academic or non-academic, fiction or non-fiction, I will improve its readability while maintaining your original voice and intent. My background is in academia (PhD, Political Theory, 2018), and I have 15+ years of highly varied professional experience as an editor. Past projects I've been hired for include novels, memoirs, short stories, children’s books, website copy, journal articles, marketing materials, textbooks, financial literacy blogs, and a series of books on personal wellness, just to name a few. ————— I am available to those who need a quick turnaround on a single project, as well as to those who are interested in building a long-term relationship with an editor who they can trust. I also have experience helping independent authors self-publish through Kindle Direct Publishing (which distributes e-books, paperbacks, and hard covers). If you want, I can see your manuscript through all aspects of the formatting and uploading process.

    Experience in journalism + special education isn't as divergent as it sounds. It makes for a unique set of skills that are ideal for projects requiring a high level of attention to detail and strong written communication. So what's that mean? *As someone with freelance writing experience, I'm well aware that I may need to mold my voice to fit a project. I can do that. I've written nonfiction articles across the genres, but with a particular emphasis on health, tourism, marketing, local politics, education, and the occasional dog wedding. *As someone with a growing portfolio of copywriting experience, particularly in the niche areas of B2B, tourism, marketing, real estate and health/wellness, I'm ready to not only fit my writing to the tone of your business, but create copy that is easy-to-read, SEO-friendly, and optimized for the web. *As someone with teaching experience, particularly in the field of special education, I have patience for days, and an attention to detail unparalleled by those who have never worked in fields where there's a constant fear of being sued. *As someone with staff writing and editing experience, I thrive on deadlines, while still maintaining a high level of professionalism and accuracy. *And, as a lover of words and all things grammar, I take great pride in making a piece of work the best it can be, whether that's my own or a client's. This is all very intriguing, right? By the way, if you're looking for a lighter touch, I'm also the creator of a humor and travel blog of my own. This may not mean much to you, but it has forced me to become well-versed in SEO strategies and the idea of marketing myself as a brand, two areas I'm happy to provide support in as well. If you feel like I'm a good fit for your project, message me!

    I’m a detail-oriented perfectionist with a passion for language, which makes me the ideal copy editor or proofreader for your magazine/resume/website/pizza menu. I have a BFA in creative writing with a focus on poetry, so I know words matter, and whether I'm writing or editing, I bring that care and dedication to every project. Pro-oxford comma, but if that’s not your style we can still make it work! I’m flexible enough to have thrived in work environments as varied as a hotel kitchen and a theater tech booth, and while most of my editing experience is in Chicago Style, I’ve worked with a variety of style guides, and even created a house style guide for internal and audience-facing documents. I was raised in Scotland and now live in the United States; my fluency in both British and American English is an asset if you're working on both sides of the pond. I have five years of editing and proofreading experience, including literary magazines, interview transcripts, and image captions, and I'm comfortable working with Microsoft Office and Adobe Suite.

    I believe the role of an editor is to help writers express themselves as clearly and eloquently as possible. This calls for honesty, sensitivity, excellent communication, a collaborative mindset, and an obsessive attention to detail, all traits I strive to embody every day. Hopefully, my 100% job success score will tell you how my past & current clients have felt about their experience with me. Many have even included me in their Acknowledgments, which is always deeply gratifying. For example, one author wrote: “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.” As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life, and for me this holds true in editing as well. I love learning new things from the wide range of material on which I work. I'm happy to edit most types of content, and am always looking to forge long-term relationships, though my primary focus is manuscripts. I have years of experience with the following: *Fiction (most sub-genres, and every length, from short stories to novellas to full-length novels): adult, YA, middle grade *Non-fiction: memoir, historical, self-help/personal development, marketing collateral, white papers, consultant reports, etc. I'm passionate about what I do, and consider it a privilege to be able to employ my skills and expertise to help writers bring their vision to life. You can trust that I'll be as invested as you are in the quality of your final draft. Reach out to me and let's get started! I look forward to working with you.

    From 2007 to 2017 I was the owner of the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography, which published 40 books for total distribution of over 20,000 copies. Along the way, CCLaP's books won or were finalists for a half-dozen awards, including the Pushcart Prize, the Lambda Award for LGBTQ literature, and the Independent Publisher Book Award; and the center itself was named one of the 10 best indie presses in the United States by both BookRiot.com and Poets & Writers magazine. Now I bring that same award-winning deep editing experience to your own self-published or small-press manuscript, helping you hone it with a fine knife into the best book it can possibly be. I specialize in "developmental" editing (also known as "content editing"), taking a big-picture look at your manuscript and identifying strengths and weaknesses in plot, character, pacing, style and tone, and giving you no-bones advice about how "publishable" it currently is. I also regularly do copy editing (also known as "line editing"), focusing in on a word-by-word basis to correct mistakes in what my industry calls GUPS (grammar, usage, punctuation and spelling). Other services include simple "post-production proofreading" for typos and missing punctuation; complete rewriting of entire sections of text for better clarity; specialized academic work using the Chicago Manual of Style, APA and Bluebook; and short documents like memos, web articles, website copy and promotional material for enterprise and other corporate clients. I believe in being transparent and consistent with my fees, so here are my rates in advance: Simple proofreading for typos: 0.5 cents per word Developmental editing: 1 cent per word Copy editing: 1 cent per word Developmental + copy edit for the same document: 1.5 cents per word Rewriting text into a more readable form: 1.5 cents per word Doctoral dissertations: 2 cents per word Journalism: 3 cents per word Enterprise clients: 5 cents per word All of these rates are also open for discussion and best offers, so just drop me a line if you'd like to discuss the subject more. See my portfolio section at the bottom of the page for a broad selection of testimonials from authors I've worked with as a freelancer, links to some of the books CCLaP still has for sale at Amazon, and praise my books have garnered over the years from such publications as Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, the Chicago Tribune, HTMLGIANT, and more. I'm happy to say that I've had a top-rated designation here at Upwork (given to the top 10 percent of all freelancers based on client satisfaction scores) since January 2021 without a break, and have consistently maintained a job success score between 95% and 100% that entire time too. I look forward to hearing from you. *Proud member of the American Copy Editors Society* *Proud member of the Romance Writers of America* *Certification, Academic Copy Editing, Poynter Institute for Media Studies* AI PLEDGE: I promise that all work I complete for clients has been, and will always be, accomplished using only my human brain and ten human fingers, never using AI bots, Grammarly, or other software options. I encourage you to demand this promise from all the freelancer candidates you interview and work with!

    Top Skills: PROOFREADING/EDITING (essays, manuscripts, online content, etc.) SCREENPLAY/SCRIPT EDITING (TV scripts, feature screenplays, and shorts) COPYEDITING (articles, blog posts, marketing material, etc.) My excellent writing skills and grasp of language arts stem from my undergraduate education in an honors program where I studied humanities and literature. Earning all A's in law school writing classes, drafting hundreds of legal documents, and writing award-winning teleplays and feature-length screenplays have caused my sharp grammar skills to become second nature. I have an eagle eye for proofreading and editing and am familiar with several word processing programs and marketing funnels, including Word, Google Docs, Final Draft, Fade In, Stripo, Buffer, and Pagefly. I'm happy to provide deliverables that either show or don't show my revisions; my clients can choose one way or receive both! I have written and edited two novels--the first two volumes in THE TEDDY BEAR CHRONICLES crime thriller series for adults. I am comfortable with proofreading/editing both short and lengthy written materials. Furthermore, I am a former English tutor... I have four years of experience teaching students of all ages excellent grammar and proofreading skills. They all substantially improved their grades while working with me. It was a wonderful experience to see them succeed. Lastly, I proofread and edited my scripts, which have earned high praise (winner, finalist, nominee, and semi-finalist) in several film festivals and contests between 2019 and 2023, including Underground Indie Film Festival, Burbank International FF, Big Apple, HollyShorts, Flicker's Rhode Island, Hollywood Horrorfest, and Fade In Awards. I'd love to help you make your writing work shine!

My job is to help you navigate this challenge and tell your story in a way that resonates with your audience, keeps them engaged, and leaves them wanting more. To do this, I work directly alongside my clients to understand their wants, needs, and aspirations, as well as those of their audience, to deliver personalized & impactful messages. I pride myself on being a writer who's responsive to client needs, extremely timely & organized, and delivers nothing less than a perfect product, no exceptions.

While I primarily specialize in writing speeches/toasts as well as creative/humorous product copy, I have experience in a variety of other areas including web copy, press releases, greeting cards, blogs & articles, video scripts, and marketing materials. Outside of Upwork I'm a customer experience & innovation consultant helping Fortune500 companies connect to their customers and find new ways to deliver value.

    I have experience doing audio transcription services at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office for legal evidence. In addition, I am detail oriented due to my education in the sciences, which have also provided me extensive writing experience through research and paper writing. Lastly, good communication is something I take pride in after having worked in multiple large corporations and institutions. I have always delivered on projects entrusted to me, and that is a promise I can keep for all my clients.

    I have more than two decades' experience in writing, editing, and content development, mostly in the nonprofit sector. I love helping people keep a project moving toward the finish line, especially if that project does some good in the world. "Good" doesn't have to mean nonprofit or big causes -- "good" can also mean helping someone I like bring their great ideas to life. Specialties: writing, editing, copy editing, publication planning, marketing, association publishing, business communications, grant writing, creative writing, poetry
