But even paradise must have rules.

—Mary Oliver, ‘Flow’

This is an editing service for those who wish to make their writing shine. If you have crafted a memoir and would like to bring it to publishable standard, you have come to the right place. If you hope to submit a collection of poems, lay down the bones of a cook book, draft a publishing proposal or tweak the flow of your essay, you have come to the right place. You may be writing a short story or a text book; an article or a thesis. If you want it to glow with clarity and power, you have arrived. Welcome.

And the rules of paradise?  Katia will not twist your voice but encourage you to find it. She will not write for you, but might suggest a crisper, cleaner expression. She will appraise the text, mend the cracks, discreetly dispose of unwanted matter and help to foreground your strongest ideas. For, in the end, they are your ideas and the mending must be invisible.
