Sheila Loesch
I’m a freelance writer and editor based in the Seattle metropolitan area. My credentials include a Certificate in Editing from The University of Washington and a B.A. in English Literature from The University of Scranton. I’m a proud member of the Northwest Editors Guild as well as the LGBTQ+ Editors Association. I also volunteer as a judge for the Independent Publishers of New England’s Book Awards program.
I’m inspired by dense fog, tree canopies, and rain (the PNW is good to me). My favorite book is Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic and I collect stuff featuring Keith Haring‘s artwork.

Professional Services

Manuscript Editing
Authors often get stuck in a kind of fog with their work-in-progress. If you’re asking yourself big-picture questions – like “Does this story follow the theme I want it to follow?”, “How do I end this thing?“, or “Are all my plot elements tied up?” – I can help you clear the fog and see the sunshine again.
Business Editing
I help businesses – big and small, fresh start up or well established – craft compelling and audience-appropriate content that serves their business needs.
