“Leila edited my artist statement and identified ways to articulate my video installation proposal with a strong narrative for a fellowship application. Her feedback was constructive, supportive, and even sometimes funny! I really loved how she would identify moments in my writing when my passion came through so I could see what was working. I feel grateful to have had her talented eyes on my work. Her writing tips sharpened not only this particular proposal but also my writing skills in general. Working with Leila was a wise investment that I’d recommend to artists seeking to strengthen their written materials.”
