wordswiz editing
Hi, I’m Laura—editor, word nerd, snack enthusiast, and founder of wordswiz editing.
​
I’ve been wrangling rogue commas and untangling messy manuscripts for over 20 years. Whether you're writing a novel, memoir, blog, or business pitch, I help your words land exactly the way you intended—only smoother, stronger, and without the weird tense shifts you didn’t know were happening.
​
I started wordswiz because I genuinely love this work. I love helping writers feel more confident. I love turning “I don’t know what’s wrong with this” into “Holy crap, that’s what I meant!” And yes, I love a good semicolon—don’t judge me.
​
When I’m not editing, I’m writing snarky essays, hoarding notebooks I’ll never use, or overanalyzing cereal box copy for fun. (Some of it is surprisingly well-written.)
​
And please—don’t judge my website building skills. All my creative energy goes into editing. This setup is the best I could wrangle without rage-quitting Wix. Bless it and move on.
I believe in honest feedback, kind collaboration, and preserving your voice—not replacing it with mine. If we work together, I’ll be your biggest cheerleader and your sharpest editor. Sometimes at the same time.
​
Still curious? Check out the Epic Lab of Oddities for a peek inside my brain. Just… don’t touch anything in the back left corner.
My Mission
To help writers turn “almost there” into “absolutely ready.”
I provide sharp, honest editing and proofreading that keeps your voice intact and your story moving. My job isn’t done until your manuscript is polished, powerful, and ready to face the world—no matter how many passes it takes.
​
Because your story matters. And I’m here to help you tell it well.
