“Working with Julia on my debut memoir, Veer, was everything I could have hoped for in an editor. With honest rates and genuine feedback, you can’t beat that. One thing that stood out to me was Julia's deep editorial expertise, especially regarding marginalized communities. I believe this experience helped transform my story into its most powerful and meaningful version. Julia helped me rearrange my timeline of events to maintain authenticity and restructured a pivotal chapter to better highlight my journey, making the narrative more engaging for readers who have since praised the authenticity and clarity of my memoir. I highly recommend Julia's services!”
-Sam Bonney, author
“Julia…has edited multiple Educurious units across a range of subjects including U.S. history, world history, genocide studies, and marine science. She is highly skilled at editing complex and sensitive content by asking thoughtful questions and making nuanced suggestions. When approaching curriculum, Julia always keeps students and teachers in mind to clarify materials (including teacher's guides, slide decks, and handouts) so that they are as coherent and usable as possible. Julia also works very well with writers—she is organized, communicative, supportive, and collaborative. I consider Julia a go-to editor, particularly for projects related to history and social studies.”
-Clare Lilliston, Senior Copy Editor, Educurious
“Julia was professional in taking on my project and was clear about what expectations I should have. She made numerous sentence structure changes, word use suggestions, and found places to delete or simplify. She…met all my expectations.”
-Mary J., memoir author
“What elevates Julia beyond any editor with whom I've ever worked is not merely her off the charts attention to detail, but the heart she applies to her craft. Julia loves the written word, and thus recognizes and honors tone; rendering wings to each phrase, sentence and passage.”
-Paul Regelbrugge, Director of Education, Holocaust Center for Humanity
“Julia was attentive and very willing to provide the right level of editing to meet my needs. She understood my vision, and maintained a thorough but light copyediting touch. I feel she is a partner in this project, one who is enthusiastic and supportive.”
-Steve W., personal essayist
