Skye Kerr Levy, M.A., Editor
Thorough edits.
Attuned suggestions.
Developmental feedback.
I have almost two decades of freelance editing experience with a special focus on non-fiction:
​
Memoir
Self help
Spirituality
Travel writing
Copyediting
Ghost writing
Developmental editing
​
I work with people at every stage of the writing journey. My specialty is meeting you where you are—stagnant or on fire—and bringing your writing into its next best form.
​
My passion is to be in service to your vision, helping you develop the strongest writing and structure so that your message can be heard. I have a special talent for honing in on redundancy, confusing content, and sequencing issues.
​
I believe the relationship between writer and editor to be a professional yet deeply personal one. In this spirit, I honor your process while challenging and elevating your writing. I will not turn your voice into mine; I make your voice clearer and your writing more accurate.

PRAISE & EXPERIENCE
​
"I've hired Skye to do editing work on many writing projects. Her work is always very high quality. Her copy- and line-editing is careful and precise. But nuts-and-bolts precision is just part of what she offers as an editor. Skye is always in tune with the big picture, as well. I trust her wisdom about structure, theme, voice, and overall article/story coherence. Skye is a true professional."
