WHY CASTLE WALLS EDITING?
As with the stones that make up a castle wall, each word in a written piece must be carefully selected for strength and appearance. The accumulation of these words in sentences, paragraphs, and complete works results in magnificent structures that should be worthy of admiration, both for their utility and aesthetic pleasures. The walls of a castle protect those within, and my clients should feel a great deal of security when turning to my services.

The 3 Pillars of
Serving the author
We want to build trusted relationships and establish Castle Walls Editing as a resource clients will turn to again and again. We want to be the invisible partner who helps clients achieve all their writing goals.

If the audience is happy, the writer is happy. An understanding of the writer’s audience is vital, and editors must consider the intended audience when making editorial decisions.
Serving the work
We want to push the work as close to possible to its ideal state. We believe that each author has a vision for the work, and by helping the author achieve this vision, we are helping the text achieve its best possible form.
