About Me
Hi! My name is Maria A. Arana, and I’m an editor who enjoys collaborating on different projects. I offer a host of services for your editing needs, including beta read. I earned certificates for proofreading/copyediting and line editing and completed courses in developmental editing and grammar. As a former teacher, I know the importance of coming across well when presenting content and being a good communicator.
Whether it be a children’s book, fantasy, or article on self-help or classroom management, my love for words inspires and drives me! I aim to make your writing the best it can be, while maintaining your voice and style. I'm friendly, responsible, and motivated to take your writing to the next level.
I’m a writer, too, which means I understand all about the heart and soul you put into your book. I get your concerns, and I love to help in the creative process of fellow writers. Your success is my success.
I read about grammar and editing to keep abreast of my career. You’ll also find me enjoying a good book, writing, or spending time with my cat and dogs. I am a developmental editor for Gatekeeper Press and a freelance editor at The Urban Writers.
Learn more about writing or my writing and publications here or subscribe to my newsletter here.
Types of writing I can edit:
fiction - children’s, MG, YA, NA, Adult, mystery, thriller, fantasy, science fiction, paranormal, contemporary, short stories; book covers; eBooks, print books; no erotica
non-fiction - blog posts, listicles, articles, newsletters, flyers, brochures, book reviews, self-help, topics on Pet Wellness/Care/Training, Household Cleaning and Organization, Education (does not include rewriting academic papers), SEO and much more!
