My name is Valerie Idiens. I'll edit your work to help you—writers and organizations—clearly and effectively communicate what you want to say to your target audience. While respecting your written voice and style, I'll collaborate with you personally to optimize the presentation of your manuscript to suit the purpose of your writing. 

In my former career I taught English for Academic Purposes (EAP) to highly motivated English Second Language (ESL) college-level students who wanted to have strong English skills to do well in their post-secondary studies. This involved personalized support and coaching when editing their written work, helping them become better writers to reach their academic goals. See my LinkedIn profile.

As an editor with a background in communications and applied linguistics, I enjoy working with writers and written language and will ensure that your manuscript matches what you intend to say, including what's on your mind and in your heart. 

I look forward to hearing from you!
