Carla Myers

As an experienced editor with formal training, I ensure your writing is clear, organized, and distraction-free, keeping your readers engaged from start to finish.

Who Am I?

I am a freelance nonfiction editor. My skills include writing, rewriting, structural/developmental editing, stylistic/line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. My book editing experience includes the following genres: how-to, self-help, guides, memoir, biography, faith and spirituality, and education.

Previous clients have reviewed my work by saying the following:

• “Carla brings both structure and heart to editing. She’s an insightful, kind, and professional partner who truly understands how to shape a book without overpowering the author’s voice.”

• “Carla is very respectful and encouraging of what you have produced, and she will help you to improve your work. Carla will bring out the best in your writing.”

• “Carla dedicated herself to my book like it was her own.”

My editing style values communication and encouragement. I take the time to explain my edits so you grow in confidence as a writer. Editing should be a judgement-free learning opportunity. 

My years of experience in the education industry, as a classroom teacher and later as a curriculum writer, taught me how to transform complicated information into clear and engaging content. I’m comfortable writing and editing for a variety of audiences.

While completing my editing certificate from Simon Fraser University, I pursued additional training in writing and editing for the web and the study of plain language principles.

Who Are You?

You may be a first-time author with no idea where to start with the editing process. Or maybe you are a self-published author who already understands the value of editing. I love book editing, but I also enjoy helping nonprofits improve their communication materials. 

I’m open to a range of projects, including nonfiction books, articles, guides, promotional materials, documents for stakeholders, newsletters, websites, training manuals, and proposals.

I look forward to hearing how I can help you achieve your writing goals.
