Welcome to Calvo Editing
My name is Irene Calvo and I am driven to edit – to improve and fine tune written material, whatever the type and context.
My editing experience is extensive and diverse, with subject matter ranging from personal narrative to blog copy, nonprofit newsletters to specialized teacher manuals. Among my happy clients are small business owners, novice memoirists, accomplished writers for whom English is not a first language, professional service providers, and seasoned copywriters.
"A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."
- Thomas Mann
SHOW YOUR WRITING AT ITS BEST
Whether you will submit your work to an agent or a client, publish an e-book, or post an essay or blog, you want your product to be outstanding. Working personally with me, you can put forward the best version of your work—free of errors, awkward passages, incorrect homophones, and clichés.
POLISH YOUR PRODUCT
Writing is a solitary endeavor, and after laboring long hours at your keyboard, it is nearly impossible to read your own work with fresh eyes or from an outside perspective. I am here to help ensure that your writing shines.
BE CONFIDENT
As a Seattle editor with decades of experience, and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I support writers in being successful in their own genres and on their own terms. Working with me at Calvo Editing, you can have confidence in your final product.
"If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter."
