WILDING WRITES

Merrin is a wonderful writer, editor, and collaborator. I have found her to be resourceful, articulate and creative, and I thoroughly appreciate her honest, playful, and kind nature. I so look forward to the next opportunity to work again with this professional.

Recently I employed Merrin Wilding to assist me in proof reading a document that was an integral part of our nursing program’s reaccreditation process. Although not a nurse, her work was consistently thorough and her professional input in editing, invaluable. We received another five years of accreditation!

Merrin was a joy to work with. Her manner was insightful and articulate; her input was easy to assimilate. She has a good eye, and effectively clarified expression at the same time she was catching spelling and grammar inconsistencies in our children's book, Bella, the Magic Dog.

Merrin has a keen sense and understanding of exactly what I want to convey from the discombobulated thoughts I put down on paper. It’s an amazing skill. She has helped me with many projects from presentations to website and business correspondence, improving my professionalism and helping my business succeed. As former Director of Education for an international equipment manufacturing company, and having worked with many editors throughout my career, I know Merrin has top level skills in the industry. Plus, she is an absolute joy to work with.

Merrin gave me just what I needed: honest, practical feedback on grammar, vocabulary, and stylistic elements, as well as a wide array of insightful feedback to improve the readability of my novel. Her passion for the written word is contagious.

Merrin is professional and considerate. She knows that as writers, we tend to tie ourselves up in knots. She is expert in unraveling those knots with directness, sensitivity and gentleness. I strongly recommend that you put your work into her competent hands. She listened carefully to what I wanted from her editing and kept that goal in sight with skill, understanding and compassion. I came to Merrin with my manuscript in an advanced stage. She helped me address the vagueness, misdirection and dead-ends that still lingered in my work. She approaches editing with honesty and kindness. I felt buoyed by her observations. I will not hesitate seeking her out again with my next manuscript

If you are looking for someone to edit your book in a collaborative, fun and professional manner Merrin is the person to hire. It was such a wonderful experience to have someone who is creative, clear, and efficient. She completed editing my 106,000-word novel in a few months with many sessions of discussion and clarification. She is meticulous and highly skilled as well as feeling like a real partner.
