Polish. Perfect. Publish.
I’m Brittany Vincent, founder and freelance editor of multiple genres spanning both fiction and nonfiction. In addition to my MS in Publishing degree, my diverse professional background spans a decade in trade, digital, academic, and corporate publishing.
Growing up in the Ocean State (Rhode Island), I always had a fascination with mythical mermaids. Mermaids are unique, clever, and constantly exploring new depths to find treasures—like pearls. My abilities as an editor are similar. I love diving into the oyster that is writing and discovering the “pearl” of words within.
Are you seeking to enhance your writing skills and take your content to the next level? If so, I'm here to help! Did you know real pearls are formed when an irritant is trapped inside a mollusk? Similarly, writing is made up of layers that need to be properly formed, including words, punctuation, plots, and themes.
However, this process may require more development and refining before the final product is revealed. That's where I come in! With my expertise, I'll ensure that your content is not only grammatically correct but also accurate and consistent with your particular editorial style and publishing goals.
In addition to efficiency and reliability to meet deadlines, my greatest strength is an eye for intricate detail. I'll assess each building block of your work in-depth and how they fit together to create the intended "big picture" concept. Writing and sharing your work can be both a joy and a challenge, but I'm passionate about helping you cultivate a treasure from tribulation and making your writing shine.
For copyediting, line editing, and proofreading services, I work across genres and with various forms of content (books, journals, blogs, websites, white papers). For manuscript evaluation and developmental editing, I specialize in children’s fiction: middle grade, young adult, and new adult.
My services are customized based upon your particular project’s requirements and deadline. Feel free to check out my full list of editorial services, and contact me today to discuss how we can work together to produce your literary pearl!

I will ensure that your text is error-free by checking it against typesetting specs, querying and correcting inconsistencies, and reading for typographical issues or sense without reading against copy.
