I am Britta Franceschi. I have a degree in English, a 120-hour TESOL certification, and copyediting training through the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. My background is in teaching grammar, ESL, literature, reading comprehension, and writing. I am a grammar aficionado and voracious reader,

Reviews
When I first worked with Britta, I had high hopes; but they didn’t compare to what actually happened. I presented the first chapter of an ongoing novel, and the advice and tutelage that I received in just the first session completely transformed my work. Together, we identified my creative writing weaknesses, and set me up with the tools for success; which I still use today. She is a patient teacher, and she’s dedicated to her craft. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

I had finished my unpublished manuscript of Memoirs of an American Prima Donna, a reprint of a book from 1913, but was uneasy about using an editor. I wanted to make sure the person I chose wouldn’t edit out the original author’s charming style, which would be considered ‘old fashioned’ in the 21st century. I was concerned needlessly because Ms. Franceschi’s magic managed to keep the original charm of the book while still making it very accessible for today’s audience. She was wonderful, very professional and got my book back to me in a timely manner. Any questions I had were answered promptly, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her.

As an author working on a novel, I was very concerned about handing off my precious work to an editor. My biggest concern was that the editor would try to alter my voice, that the unique phrasing and quirks that comprise so much of my writing would be erased or altered to the point that I would not recognize my own work. With all this trepidation I approached Britta and asked her to look at my book. I was delighted to find a collaborative, insightful partner who worked hard to communicate and ensure that I felt my work was valuable and worthwhile. She made changes, she corrected issues I knew were there but also went about making the novel 100% ready to be published, a process that I still don’t fully understand. When she was done I felt like the novel I had been slowly constructing was complete. It felt ready to be sent out into the world which was a truly magical experience. I would recommend Britta to anyone trying in need of an editor. Her attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and excellent communication all made me grateful and comfortable as I went to the next step of my writing journey.
