Since 2007 I've worked as an editor at nonprofit arts organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area, collaborating with executives, educators, development officers, and even art historians. If you need a reliable editor who is well versed in the Chicago Manual of Style, familiar with the challenges of small press publishing, and deeply invested in the printed word, we should connect.
Allison Claire Chang
In collaboration with other creatives, I shape and polish the words that make great things—articles, books, catalogs, and more. My ideal work combines research, creative storytelling, and the arts, generously defined.
Freelance Editor
Allison's instinct for narrative makes her an excellent editor, able to suss out what the author means to say and then effectively communicate how that person can achieve it.
Allison is whip-smart: she is able to understand her audience and an organization's business objectives in record time. In addition to being a first-rate writer (top three I've ever worked with), she adapts with ease to various formats and styles, bringing knowledge of best practices to them all.
Allison is thorough, diligent, and precise; she is literate and literary, and one of the best writers and thinkers I have encountered....She understands the nature of the subject and its audience and clearly selects the best words possible to create a direct bridge between the two—intelligently, thoughtfully, and clearly. Her editing and copyediting skills are without parallel—superb, just superb!
