Consultations
We don't know each other (yet), so how can we tell we're a good match if we haven't seen each other's work in action? Editing is a partnership. You're choosing me just as much as I'm choosing you.
To give a glimpse into how we might work together, I offer potential clients a complimentary 15-minute consultation to discuss their needs and then provide an editing sample (~1 page / 500 words) for your manuscript. If the vibes aren't vibing for one or both of us, there are no hard feelings. What's most important to me is that you find the best editor for you!

Important Disclaimers
Your work must be your own.
I deeply value artists—real human artists—the people who've honed their craft to elicit our basest emotions, who highlight both the beauty and the ugliness of this world, who pour their souls into what really is the epitome of the human experience.
Technology has a place, but not when the only way for that technology to exist is by stealing people's ideas, robbing them of revenue and recognition, and putting their livelihoods at stake.
That being said, I do not condone the use of generat*ve AI and cannot in good conscience work with those who do.
Inclusivity is non-negotiable.
An absolute no-brainer: Wyrd Wit supports global human rights, the LGBTQIA2+ community, racial and gender equality, disability rights, and environmental stewardship.
