Cusick Editing

Your writing, refined and ready for publication

Whether you plan to submit your manuscript to agents and publishers or to self-publish, I can help you produce your best work. I have been polishing manuscripts since 2014, offering thoughtful editing that will amplify your voice and ensure readers stay captivated. I provide editorial support to writers of fiction, cookbooks, and other select nonfiction.

It’s not always that an edit feels like an honor, but the elegance, sensitivity, care, and eye for accuracy with which you did this copyedit were amazing.
— Joy Castro, author of Flight Risk
 
I am amazed by your incredibly keen eye, your rigor, your elegance, and your sense of economy. I agree with about 99% of your interventions. And aside from being right, they were all presented in such a wonderful, respectful way.
— Hernán Díaz, author of In the Distance, a 2018 Pulitzer Prize Finalist and 2018 PEN/Faulkner Award Finalist
