Holly W.

Collaborative coach and editor | 15+ years of experience

I'm proud to offer two distinct services here, one as an editor and the other as a professional coach. Read about my work as a coach: Are you ambitious but find yourself holding back? I help professionals like you overcome imposter syndrome and navigate career transitions to create the meaningful impact you’re meant to make. I'm a certified professional coach, pursuing ICF credentialing, with additional certifications in Project Management (CAPM), Change Management, and Equity-Centered Design. My diverse background spanning non-profits, higher education, and media gives me unique insight into various career paths and organizational cultures. I excel at one-on-one coaching, adapting my approach to meet you where you are. Read about my work as an editor: I am an accomplished writer and editor with over 15 years of experience in the media industry, plus additional years as a university professor teaching writing and editing. I bring deep experience in editing long-form nonfiction, academic papers, textbook chapters, legal and technical documents, social media content, and website and blog content. One of my favorite things about editing is working collaboratively with writers to make their message shine. Editing is an art, not a science. My goal as an editor is to maintain the author's voice and authenticity. My editing expertise includes: ✔️ Flow and content gaps ✔️ Factual inaccuracies ✔️ Grammar, spelling and punctuation errors ✔️ AP Style (when appropriate) I'm comfortable working in Word or Google Docs and using 'track changes' or 'suggested edits' to show my work. I'm available to immediately begin work and meet tight deadlines. Send me a message and let's get to work together.
