Hi, I’m David Lasby.
I want to help you unlock the very best version of your work. I believe writing is a powerful form of expression and an important medium of art. Helping others discover and maintain their unique voice while ensuring quality and consistency is a profound joy and the reason I became an editor.
Since 2010, I’ve been teaching at the high school and college level, earning a National Board certification and teaching both creative writing and traditional academic discourse. When the pandemic hit, I wanted to take a deeper dive into my passion for writing and editing. I became involved in video game and entertainment journalism and also returned to school to earn my Certificate in Editing.
Now my focus is on freelance editing and providing coaching services to writers who wish to elevate their skills and content.
My Approach
It’s all about you! I strive to learn about the unique vision held by each writer I work with, join in their passion for the project, and refine the work to celebrate their distinct voice. I believe that positive feedback is a crucial part of the editing process and will never approach with a harsh or judgmental tone.
