Leila approaches editing as an art in itself, providing articulate, intentional, and thoughtful comments. Her feedback is constructive and balanced, responsive and in-tune with the writer. It’s rare to find an editor who takes so much care with someone else’s work. Leila’s invested feedback inspired and challenged me, imparting a new awareness of an area of growth I could build towards. Her collaborative approach allowed me to enter into a dialogue about the work, gaining valuable craft knowledge I could apply not only to the revision at hand but to my practice going forward.
