About Rita

After finding “THE” book when I was a second-grader, I became an avid reader. I am one of few children who got into trouble with my teachers and my parents for reading too much. I only became more passionate from there to the point of graduating with a BA in English as an adult.

It was odd—as a child, I disliked reading and did everything I could to avoid it. Now, you’re lucky if you can get me to put a book down!

As you can imagine, reading is a passion of mine. However, having written material free from distracting errors is essential to keep even the most voracious readers engaged.

It is notoriously difficult to proofread your own work; everybody needs to have a second set of eyes on their written work.

Testimonial


Rita was one of the freelance copyeditors I contracted during my role as Senior Fiction Editor for Inkitt, Inc. and GALATEA Fiction. She aced our extremely tough editing test and completed nearly a dozen assignments for Inkitt during my time with the company. She’s a fantastic editor whose keen eyes catch even the smallest of errors, and she also provided great developmental and sensitivity notes. I would be thrilled to work with her again when I’m next in a position to hire freelance editors!
