The Copper Fern Studio, LLC offers custom editorial project management and virtual assistance. That means you have a project to start (or finish!) and it gets handled while you go about the important functions of your day-to-day business. You’ll get the best of both worlds: classically trained experience with contemporary skills.
It is fairly easy to find freelance editors to who can edit a book manuscript, or write marketing content. In fact, I serve those industries, too! It is harder to find someone who understands the complicated process of shepherding an idea through all of the steps it takes to have a properly registered business.
For example, all strong businesses require a clearly written business plan, a Statement of Use, policy guides, and procedure guides. If your organization is a nonprofit, you’ll also need surveys, program evaluations, grant proposals, and general communication for stakeholders. Don’t panic! It’s a lot to manage when all you want to do is focus on your dream of planning a coffee shop or feeding your neighbors.

Listening Carefully
The Copper Fern Studio builds positive relationships with adults and students from all ideologies and backgrounds based on respect, sensitivity, and discretion.By listening carefully to clients, I am able to discern and distill key information to combine trends and new technologies with traditional common sense. To do this, I extract from experience within corporate, educational, and entrepreneurial environments as well as university admissions, independent schools, trade book publishing, book packaging, and corporate technical editing organizations.
Empathy Matters
After over thirty years of experience, I enhanced my research skills at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte. My graduate research examines emotion expression on social media and the effects of neuroplasticity on empathy in children. How can preschool teachers can modify classroom management strategies to encourage peaceful neural development? Read more at the NeuroPacific Classroom™ an online space for anyone who has an interest in discussing how current neuroscience can be used to help early childhood educators manage difficult classroom behavior. It is designed to recast academic research into accessible chunks of insight for busy education professionals. It is also an interdisciplinary approach that combines research about the neural basis of empathy with basic education theory.
