Editing Philosophy

I want to help you tell your story in a way that feels authentic and engaging. I will help you hone in on your own voice to make your poems the best they can be.

My editing style has a focus on curiosity and asking questions that can help reveal where a poem might need some clarity/reviving/attention without telling you what you should do.

What You Can Expect

  • Line Edits - including notes on line breaks, grammar, spelling, etc.

  • Written critique about what is working well/where you might be able to expand/improve for each poem

  • If you’re submitting a chapbook or full-length manuscript I will also include overall feedback on the collection as a whole

  • Reading suggestions, and potential places to submit your work

Testimonials

“Tyler's feedback is thoughtful, thorough, and very helpful. Not only did she do an incredible job editing my book, Acid Rain Epithalamium, but she also helped me edit my more recent poems. In fact, they provided such excellent feedback on a poem that it was immediately  published by the next place I submitted it, Passengers Journal. I highly recommend hiring Tyler for your poetry editing needs!”

-Becca D.

"Working with Tyler was beyond helpful. The most helpful part was Tyler's feedback and questions to make me become more inquisitive about my work. Tyler's edits and reviews made me feel inspired to edit more, and write more, with the feedback in mind. I would definitely work with Tyler again and look forward to the next time!" 

-Rachell R.

“Tyler has been editing my poems for over 3 years now and they have quickly become my favorite editor. They’re swift, witty, so easy to work with, and they have such an (apparently) effortless way of understanding my poems—they never shy away from challenging me while always making sure the poem is still very my ‘my’ poem (after all, they’re a poet too!). They have a broad range of skills, from editing line by line, suggesting lethal line breaks ( the biggest compliment in my mouth), to ordering poems for a manuscript or mashing up/splitting poems when they feel like it would work better. I highly recommend their services (and am currently editing my next manuscript with them).”
