Lily Kay Ross Writing and Editorial Services

Lily is a very bright editor that can quickly «click in» on what you are trying to say and make it sound better. She took my two essays and, without a great deal of explanation and background, polished them up and made them more readable. She’s exactly what you need when you need a «second pair of eyes» to take a look.

I had a 24 hour deadline to submit a journalism piece and I was totally stuck. I’d written something completely unsatisfying to me, but with so little time, I clung to it. Lily gently helped me see that I needed to start over, but helped me with every step of the way. She asked me great questions to help me find what I truly wanted to say. She supported and encouraged me to be authentic and emotional in my writing, and how to capture that in a professional, concise, readable way. She guided me step by step through constructing the new piece, and then edited it for impact and polish. She even helped me find a title. And all of this in just a few hours. I’m a professional writer, but even professionals have our dark hours and need someone to hold our hand. Lily is a life saver! I would recommend her to anyone, no matter the skill level. Your writing will improve, your voice will improve, and you’ll find clarity you can carry into future projects as well.
