About Paula
|
After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree (Honours International Relations), I graduated from the University of California's Professional Sequence in Editing program. In addition to my work at Moon River Editing, I'm a professional editor at Iguana Books in Toronto. I also chaired the publications committee at Editors Canada for several years. I've made it my mission to help authors polish their work so that it's the best it can be: clear, concise, correct, and beautiful. |
Some comments about my work . . .
“I’ve worked with many editors since my first novel was in NYC in 1985 and I can honestly say that Paula is one of the finest editors I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Her editorial skill is in high demand. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a chance to work with her on your book."
~ Christopher G. Moore, Author
"Paula gets it. She has an ear for rhythm and flow so the story’s most compelling elements shine. I quickly came to trust her judgment and would work with her anytime."
~ Beth Kallman Werner, Author Connections
"Paula, thank you so much for the wonderful editing and thoughtful critiques. Your evaluation was an eye-opener for me and provided the opportunity to take my book to a higher level. Your prompt response and attention to details are greatly appreciated. I really enjoyed working with you."
~ Das Tharmathurai, Author
"Thanks again for your help on the last issue of Pathways. I was really happy with the work you did and would call on you again next time I needed help. You really got me out of a jam and I was very grateful. You were very professional in your communications, as well, and it was a pleasure to work with you."
~ Randee Holmes, Green Ink Communications
“Amazing! You are an editing rock star . . . Many thanks for this and your speediness!”
~ H. Graham, VON Services
“Paula's work is first rate, and I would warmly recommend her for any job.” ~ L. Westbrook, University of California
"We were searching for an editor to ensure the credibility of our website when we crossed paths with Paula Chiarcos. She has completely changed our idea of what editing is … She doesn’t just fix, she improves … She understood the nuance of the topic and made revisions that made our writing better. Communication is key, and Paula made things digestible and simple every step of the way. Her mannerism is consistently nice, kind and approachable. She invests not only her effort, but her time and passion for excellence. She’s genuine and enthusiastic, works hard and wants to see real success for whatever project she is working on. Our confidence in the quality of our product has risen dramatically since Paula’s editing. We look forward to a much better sales and marketing campaign than previously expected thanks to Paula’s efforts." ~ Michael Harris, CEO, My Place in This World
