“Edith manages to combine a deeply intuitive and empathetic approach that encompasses the totality of a person's work, style, experience and vision with an ability to hone in on those places where fullest expression of that work has not yet materialized. She elicits the best from her clients because they feel seen, confident in her editorial eye, and clear about the direction of their work. I have worked with Edith on innumerable projects, and each time I've submitted a piece for her consideration, her guidance has resulted in a stronger and more effective piece of writing and, indeed, a more adept and flexible writer."  

— Allison G., Founder, North Shore Indivisible

“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.”

— Sarah H., writer

“Edith has been an invaluable reader and editor of my writing for many years. She has a keen sense of story structure and possesses an extraordinary ability to ask the right questions in order to help me refine and create my best work. She’s highly intelligent, has a great sense of humor, and is an overall pleasure to work with. She has undoubtedly made me a better writer.”

— Lee E., writer

“Edith gives her students the tools and confidence to continually improve their writing skills. She is supportive, but helps them stretch their critical-thinking skills and creativity in order to become better writers. Edith knows how to push students to do better, but also how to encourage them to want to do better.”

— SAM G., PROFESSIONAL TUTOR
