WHY I EDIT
Editing combines my greatest passions: reading and writing.
But more than that, publishing is something I can get behind.
The publication of ideas has knocked people to their knees for thousands of years, launching philosophies and revolutions and changing how we think.
History itself only began when the Sumerians could first write it down. The stories we tell and the information we publish shape who we are.
We are educated, we are entertained, we are enriched because we read.
Reading also has other benefits, including preventing Alzheimer’s disease, increasing empathy, honing critical thinking skills, and reducing anxiety.
As for me, I feel most myself with a book in my hands.
This is my dream job, and you'll find that out when I geek out over your Oxford commas. I am, after all, the Comma Mama.
Thanks for writing!
