Wendy Herlich is a writer's editor; she has tremendous respect for the voice of the author, and considers it a privilege and honor to help crystallize the story that is being told. Not only do writers come to her for help, so do other editors.

Wendy began her career by spending eight years editing advertising copy; three of those years she worked solely on pharmaceutical materials. Since then she has branched out to encompass a variety of genres, including memoirs, nonfiction, general fiction, and textbooks, and she has assisted with both editing and writing book proposals. She also has experience beyond publishing, including articles, journals, and websites for small businesses. The variety of her work experience has given her a unique perspective and skill set.

When it comes to copy editing, Wendy Herlich goes above and beyond the usual scope. She has an eagle eye for technical problems with grammar and spelling; however, she also has the ability to fix logic and clarity, point out awkward phrasing, and catch inconsistencies within the overall story. Wendy is a fantastic copy editor with a great work ethic; one read by her gives me peace of mind when it comes to my clients' manuscripts.

Wendy is a valuable asset to any project and team. She does thoughtful, quality work and is very reliable. She reinforced a consistent voice and style in our online product. Meanwhile, her clear communications made project management easy. What I most valued was that she didn't just do things on autopilot, but paid deep attention to our content and as a result, identified crucial new insights.

What I loved about working with Wendy is that in addition to looking out for any mistakes you have made with grammar, punctuation, or spelling, she takes the time to develop a deep understanding for the purpose of the document she is editing. That allows her to also look for mistakes with logic, remove jargon, and help you communicate your ideas in a clear and concise way. This year Wendy worked with me to edit two public art plans, and I will certainly be calling on her for future projects.
