Hello! My name is Vanessa Vance, and I am the editor and owner of Edited by Vanessa. My love of language and the written word began in childhood and has only deepened over time. I strive to take a piece of writing and elevate its message, keeping the ideals of clarity, consistence, and elegance in mind.

My professional editing experience began with five years as a copy editor for a film- and entertainment-related web site. Since then, I have worked independently, editing graduate-level academic writing, journalism, and business materials.

I consider editing to be a collaborative process and I customize my services according to the individual writer’s requirements. Contact me about your next project!
