Welcome to The Write Edit!

The Write Edit provides premier editing services for writers at every stage. I expertly edit, copyedit, and proofread book manuscripts, websites, admissions essays, letters, and documents of all kinds. Whether it is your first book or your tenth, my goal is the same: to help your writing reach its fullest potential.

You might simply need a careful second set of eyes to catch errors and refine clarity, or you may be seeking thoughtful, in-depth feedback on plot, character development, pacing, or structure. Whatever your needs, I have the experience and expertise to ensure your manuscript, website, or document is the absolute best it can be.

My Commitment to You

I’m Valerie Brooks, owner of The Write Edit, a proud member of the Editorial Freelancers Association—the most respected organization in the editing industry—and a freelance copyeditor for Hay House Publishing. Editing is not just part of what I do; it’s what I do every day.

I am deeply committed to the success of your work. You’ve invested significant time and effort into your manuscript, essay, short story, website, or application—now let me help take it to the next level. Having worked with a literary agent, I know what publishers and agents are looking for.

Professional editing can make all the difference. Let’s make your work shine before it reaches readers, agents, or publishers.

150_EFA_Logo

I am an established writing and editing professional, with a master’s degree in publishing, and over 20 years of editorial experience. After spending many years as a professional writer, and working for a literary agent, I turned my attention to book editing and have been helping authors and writers ever since. My keen eye allows for insightful feedback on your manuscript, website, or document. With the expertise of knowing what agents and publishers are looking for, I now dedicate myself to editing manuscripts and getting you ready for publication. I was a book reviewer for Kirkus, and I hold memberships in the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) and the American Copy Editors Society (ACES). My personal passions include animals, Ayurveda, American Sign Language (ASL), yoga, and all things spa. I am a Chopra-certified Primordial Sound Meditation teacher, a certified Master Law of Attraction practitioner, and am Level-1 certified in EFT (tapping).
