Proofed by D

My name is Daria Patterson, and I am a writer based in New York. I've studied Sociology and Public Administration with a specialization in policy analysis and evaluation. ​My main research interests are race and gender relations, and political history.

​​​

I have been writing, proofreading, and editing for over 15 years, across a wide range of disciplines. I use my proofreading and editing experience to support people and projects whose missions embody mine- to transform lives and communities. 

 

My past clients include academics, non-profit organizations, personal educational blogs, and community-based businesses. I cultivate long-term relationships with clients, often seeing them through multiple projects. 

​

 

Language is significant; it can move people to envision new possibilities for themselves and others solely through feeling the power present in what they are reading.​ 

 

A professional editor can be the difference between an "eh" piece of writing and an "aha!" piece of writing. Editing can be a frustrating and demanding process for the writer, but it is a vital last step before publishing. I will be there every step of the way.
