Maya Chandler EDITING & WRITING

Introduction: Despite being a young professional, I offer high-quality editing services that help clients perfect their project--and improve their writing skills. With lots of professional experience, including tutoring over 500 clients at my university's writing center, managing and editing the writing center's newsletter publication(s), acting as a Senior Editor on the board of an undergraduate journal, writing and editing an e-newsletter for a small community art store, and being published in multiple journals at my university, I am an excellent choice for thorough, comprehensive editing. I am also well-versed in areas of design, so if looks matter, I can help you improve the appearance of your document as well! My experience as a writing tutor makes me qualified to read and edit a variety of genres, as well as help with all parts of the writing process (from brainstorming, to large-scale revisions, to final copy-edits). I have built a reputation with my peers and other professionals as a detail-oriented, well-organized, responsible editor. Particularly if you're looking for someone to improve your writing--not just correct mistakes--I'm the editor for you! I have always enjoyed writing--but throughout college, I discovered that editing is one of my true passions. I become very excited to work with a writer, because editing is such a special type of collaboration. Good writing is hard to achieve, but I think it's very possible with a good editor on-hand. I've tutored writers who feel they have no "talent," and shown them that writing is a skill they can develop--along with how. My favorite part of editing is leaving the writer with a concrete rule they can apply to future writing to improve or fix their own individual weaknesses!
