Dr. Alexie Leathaud Professor of Astronomy, University of California Santa Cruz

Ready to find your audience? Let's sharpen your ideas, tighten your text, and design your material. I have a proven track record of helping clients find publication success.

I work with:

Creatives who want materials that make audiences come back for more
Authors seeking more professional impact for books or articles
Writers improving their grammar or style
Compilers of multi-contributor documents who want a uniform writing voice

I work on:

Content Impact via Image, Emotion, and Story - developmental suggestions
Grammar, Clarity, and Impact - copy and line editing
Pre-Publication Submission - proofreading
Document Design - layout, color, font selection

I've been a hardcore sci-fi/fantasy reader since the age of six and married to an RPG-er for 28 years. I recently painted my first mini at the UK Games Expo 2026! With a degree in art history and 40 years of experience as an editor, artist, and writer, I love to help creators bring their worlds to life -- in word and design.

Client Feedback

"Working with Robin was phenomenal. I would not have been able to create the document without her contributions. Robin helped to coordinate disparate text from many authors and integrated them into a common writing style. Robin also coordinated the look of both documents, creating a beautiful and attention-catching document for decision makers. When printed out, it looks very professional.

It was a great pleasure to work with Robin. She is punctual and organized. We had sessions on Zoom with clear goals, tasks, and deliverables. She is a clear communicator and an excellent editor. Robin would be an excellent choice for your editing needs. The particular document she helped me with is academic in nature, but I am fully confident that she would also excel at other types of documents."

Dr. Alexie Leauthaud, Professor Astronomy and Astrophysics, UCSC

"I am THRILLED with the results of our work together. This is the second article you've edited for me. You are so good at what you do. I love working with you. You really drew out the claims and made them pop. Thank you so much."

Drew Levanti, Research Scholar

"Before working with Robin, I thought I had a decent understanding of writing. However, her guidance helped me express what I really wanted to communicate. My writing improved dramatically, and her expertise helped make sure I accurately represented myself. She is by far the most helpful person I have worked with!"

R.P. Early Career Writer, University of Chapel Hill, NC

"I continue to be grateful for the work you did editing the manuscript of my life story. Your editing turned my manuscript into a readable document. This past fall The American Historical Society published a portion of my memoirs without any additional editing. That was a tribute to the high quality of your product. I am delighted to endorse your work as an editor."

Alan Berman, Former Director Naval Research Laboratory

"I don't think there are words to describe how grateful I am to you and the work you have done to help me."
