Hola Zylkia, I would like to help you with your memoir. I'm wondering if it would help if you wrote in your native language first and then translated. I know it's difficult to write from a deep, emotional place in a language that comes naturally to you. I am an intermediate Spanish speaker - and I have tried writing poetry in Spanish - so I understand. I have helped several people with their memoirs - and I am working on the 2nd draft of my own (2 years living in Argentina). Just by looking at your description I can tell you have a lot to say. A memoir is different from an autobiography in that you don't tell your entire life story. I would suggest you work on an outline and choose a theme or two that you stick to and don't talk about things that aren't relevant - even if they are very interesting. Have you read a lot of memoirs? How much have you written? I'd need a word count and details in order to give you an accurate bid. If you haven't written it all down, perhaps we can do a consultation rather than an "edit." I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. What you read above is just a taste of what I can do for you - coaching you with the book to get you going in the right direction. Please see the reviews on my profile page and let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know about me. I look forward to working with you. Gracias.

Based on the preview you provided, this story deserves to be in a book and I know that I'm the best person to ensure that all the information you give is presented in a manner that is error-free and can be easily understood by your target audience. I have edited quite a number of books before and my work speaks for itself. So if you want to have quality editing done on your book, there's no need to look any further. Feel free to test my capabilities at any time and thanks for your consideration.

Hi, My name is Anthony. From the little you have shared about your life's story, I am already charmed and would like to read more - and learn too. I like your sense of humor (not knowing the number of your kids? That part got me laughing. English is my first language and I have over three years experience writing and editing works for different organizations. I believe I will be of great value to your project particularly because your story evokes passion and interest. Hoping you will discuss more with me in my inbox. Best regards

I've experience editing memoir personally and in workshop formats. I work to preserve the author's voice and intention while creating the best experience for potential readers. In an ideal editor/author relationship, I will treat your vision for your work with utmost respect. I also have training in teaching ESL from the LADO institute in Washington DC which aids me in editing work where English might be a second, third, or fourth language. I will read through the manuscript and provide you with a big picture assessment of areas of strength and areas that need more attention. We will decide together on the best solutions to those areas until you are completely satisfied with your project.
