Bio
Steven Cini
Nicola was vigilant and proactive with managing her time and always willing to help others on the project. She finished her duties with editing on time and was able to help out others with other tasks, including helping me with the construction of the website.
Cheyenne Berandi
Nicola worked as an editor on my manuscript and undertook the task of both substantive editing and copy editing duties. She was fantastic to work with, quick to respond, and helped to shape and improve my novel to a professional standard. Nicola and I also worked together as co-editors on the BWAP Editing Committee for Yarra Bend Press's publication of The Last Word: an anthology of memories. Throughout this process Nicola was both professional and incredibly skilled, undertaking substantive editing, copy editing, and proof reading duties, as well as being involved in submission selection, advertisement, and general management. I also oversaw Nicola in her role as copy editor for Yarra Bend Press during the creation of this anthology, and was consistently impressed with the quality of work she produced. She was always very prompt and eager, and more than willing to step into roles in other departments, such as social media management.

As a freelance editor I ensure that I build a trusting and positive working relationship with the author through effective communication skills. This role also requires having an impeccable grasp of grammar and a sound understanding of writing structure to ensure the piece or book I’m editing is at the highest standard it can be for publication. I always thrive working in these deadline-driven jobs. As a freelance editor I ensure that I build a trusting and positive working relationship with the author through effective communication skills.
