Writing & Editing Services
Hello! I’M HERE TO HELP YOU SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY.
I have been a writer for my entire life. I’ve written novels and non-fiction, blog posts and website content, marketing reports and fundraising materials.
I’ve also been an editor, researcher and social media consultant for 15 years. I’ve worked with:
university students and faculty at Bryn Mawr College, Villanova University, California College of the Arts, Temple University, Arizona State University, International Institute of Clinical Sexology, San Francisco State University, San Jose State University and University of Maryland
non-profits like Voices Together, A Home Away from Homelessness, and the Justice At Stake Campaign
marketing companies like CCD Innovation
fiction writers and non-fiction writers
If you are interested in having me critique or edit your writing, I can help. I will provide concrete feedback and ideas at whatever stage of the process you are. This could include:
online writing consultations to help you brainstorm ideas when you’re feeling stuck, or narrow your scope and focus your work
developmental edits on existing drafts
proofreading
reference editing
My rates for writing and editing are reasonable and determined by the scope and scale of your project. Email me at soniabelascofreelance@gmail.com for more info.

“Sonia has provided copy editing for my dissertation work, raking through every detail with a fine tooth comb. Sonia furnishes honest feedback, reviews grammar, the flow of what I’ve written, and relevance of content. I enjoy working with Sonia and greatly appreciate her timeliness, but best of all, I appreciate her preserving my voice.”
“Sonia’s exceptional editing ability brought thoughtful insight and fresh eyes to question content relevance, supporting a final product that I am proud to publish! I will continue to seek her support on future projects.”
“Sonia is wonderful to work with and is a highly skilled, thoughtful editor. She is able to effortlessly shape content while keeping the intention of the original voice of each project she works on. As a writer, Sonia is a master at finding nuances, and bringing a strong creative voice to building fiction as well as non-fiction. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Sonia is a very thoughtful editor who dove much deeper than the typical editor by helping me restructure and rethink my writing goals to make them more cohesive. Thanks to her insights, I was able to rewrite my novel with a much clearer plot line. Sonia also took the time to discuss my writing process with me and went above and beyond to help me articulate the main themes of my historical fiction novel and suggest areas for further research. Highly recommend! ”
“Sonia was an absolute dream to work with, and provided incredible feedback that really helped get my manuscript ready for publication! Her skills as an editor and writer are top-tier - I honestly can’t recommend working with her enough!”
“I highly recommend Sonia Belasco for her editorial ability. . . It was very helpful that she was familiar with the subjects covered by the book and could respond to content if it was questionable, not clear or could be said better, and she provided needed structural changes. She was indispensable in her editing ability to the success of my book.”
