Hi. I'm Edith. I’m a freelance writer and writing coach on the North Shore of Boston. I love reading, writing, and ideas. Being alone in nature. Going anywhere on a train. Coffee and the New York Times crossword puzzle. Most of all, though, I love working with people.

Over the years, I’ve partnered with many nonprofit organizations and schools to support their communication goals. I've also worked with individuals on their own writing projects which have included college essays, resumes, and manuscripts.

I’m a graduate of Stanford University (B.A. in Political Science) and the University of Michigan (M.S. in environmental policy). I’ve completed extensive coursework in creative writing (memoir, short story, and novel writing) and am currently working on my first novel.

I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a line at edith_pepper@yahoo.com.


“Edith is a remarkable editor, tutor, and teacher. She manages to encourage you while making helpful edits. Hiring her to work with me on my manuscript has been the best decision. She provides the support of a writing group, the talent of a story editor, and the expertise of a writing class all in one. The personalized attention I’ve received is remarkable.”
