Hi — I’m
Abigail!
I’m a professional editor with a love for structure, clarity, and well-placed commas. I work with fiction and nonfiction writers at various stages of the creative process, helping them strengthen ideas without losing personality or voice.
My editing style is collaborative, honest, and precise. I’ll tell you what’s working, flag what isn’t, and explain why—so you walk away with stronger writing skills, not just a cleaner document.
Why SkratchThat?
