The Copper Fern Studio, LLC offers custom editorial project management, editorial services, and virtual assistance. That means your project can get started (or finished!) while you focus on your day-to-day 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 might also need surveys, program evaluations, grant proposals, and general communication for stakeholders. 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.

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 getting stuff done. Professionally and completely.

Heart-Centered Clients

My services are especially suited for entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations focused on education, community ties, social science, and the humanities. That includes entrepreneurs and small businesses; independent schools and university departments; book publishers; nature conservation organizations; and museums, to name a few. All services are fairly priced and flexible.

If you only need a handful of services, select the Fiddlehead package. (A la carte)

If you want the entire project planned and then executed on schedule and within budget, you’ll want the Full Frond. (Quoted)

If you need an pair of hands for a few hours or days, the Stomata package gives you room to breathe while you to meet urgent, short-term goals. (Hourly; Background checks OK).

Listening Carefully

The Copper Fern Studio builds positive relationships based on respect, sensitivity, and discretion. By listening carefully, I am able to discern and distill key information to combine trends and new technologies with traditional common sense. To do this, I draw from over thirty years of experience in corporate, educational, and entrepreneurial environments, including universities, independent schools, trade book publishing, book packaging, and corporate technical editing organizations.

Empathy Matters

I care deeply about empathy and have a master’s degree crafted to take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding its neural basis. My graduate research examined the effects of neuroplasticity on empathy in children, based on basic education theory. I also examined emotion expression on social media.
