Hello! I’m Laura Skorczeski.

My love of reading ultimately grew into a passion for helping others express themselves as clearly as possible through their writing.

I have been providing editing services since 2011 through LS Revisions and have had the pleasure of working with a diverse international clientele across a broad spectrum of nonfiction subjects—from engineering to sociopolitical analysis.

I use my background in the social and physical sciences to inform my work, and I love learning something new from the manuscripts I work with. My goal is always to ensure a clear and enjoyable reader experience while respecting and preserving the author’s message and voice. I enjoy editing with a large cup of tea by my side (and sometimes a piece of chocolate or two to keep me motivated!).

I have completed UC Berkeley’s Professional Sequence in Editing and UW’s Specialization in Developmental Editing. I have a BA in geography (with a minor in geology) from Vassar College and an MS in geography from Portland State University. I am a full member of the Editorial Freelancers Association and ACES: The Society for Editing. LS Revisions is a certified woman business enterprise (WBE) with Massachusetts’s Supplier Diversity Office (SDO).

When I’m not editing, you might find me behind the circulation desk of my local library. Being a senior library assistant keeps me up-to-date on publishing trends and ensures that the pile of books beside my bed stays well stocked!

Let’s get your message out into the world.
