Writing

Have a project in mind but need someone else to write it for you? Whether you need a text written from start to finish, or the completion of a project that is already on its way, Lev writes and delivers well-developed and polished pieces that will match your goal and personal style, and bring your vision to life.

Business

Let Lev use her expertise to relay yours! Lev specializes in long copy B2B and B2C content marketing. These aren’t your daily emails, blog or social media posts. Rather, these are “special occasion” pieces that require a more involved process—interviews, research, and additional preparation—such as books, pamphlets, articles, presentations, and more. Lev delivers well-researched and exquisitely-written final pieces that will showcase your products or services, establish or elevate your reputation and credibility, and reach and impress existing and potential customers, coworkers, partners, and investors.

Academic

Lev writes scientific and literary academic texts based on your research, notes, ideas, and drafts (primarily for businesses). Lev knows how to extract information from your project materials to write well-crafted texts that accurately and effectively convey your ideas, processes, findings and analyses, showcasing your expertise and advancing you academically and professionally.

Creative

Whether it’s a battle in a different realm, a whirlwind European romance, or your personal memoir, Lev writes creative non-fiction and select fiction pieces that transfer the world brewing in your mind onto paper, where it deserves to be seen by you, your family, or the entire world.

Developmental Editing

If only writing were as easy as simply transcribing ideas onto paper! Alas, this is not the case, and most first (and fifth) drafts could use a little sprucing up…okay, a lot. Lev specializes in developmental editing – thorough, precise editing that will elevate your work and ensure that your ideas are presented flawlessly and effectively.

Business

It’s a competitive, fast moving market and your audience isn’t stopping for long, if at all, to listen. Your content needs to grab attention, and to sell quickly and impactfully. Lev develops content that effectively relays to your audience the quality of your products and services, while staying on brand and adapting to different media, to give you that added reputability and boost to your sales.

Academic

Unpolished academic work, be it grammatical inconsistencies, incohesive arguments, or structural flaws, can mark the difference between a successful and unsuccessful academic piece. Lev edits a wide variety of academic texts, ensuring that your arguments and discussions are well-organized and grammatically sound. Lev has edited academic texts for universities, professors, students and professionals, many of whom have been published in academic journals, presented at international conferences, and been accepted to a variety of academic programs.

Creative

Thought writing your book, story, or essay was hard? Well, Writer, meet the source of many creative existential crises: editing. Out of place characters, plot holes, and inconsistencies so terrible you can’t believe you created them yourself. Luckily, these issues are just stepping stones to what can be a beautiful, imaginative manuscript.

Lev develops all aspects of your literary work, including plot, characterization, setting, conflict, pacing, and narrative, to heal even the stubbornest of your story’s ailments. This will help lead your story across the finish line, so you can finally show it to your loved ones, submit it to a publisher, or just read it to yourself at night before tucking it back into your nightstand drawer.

Research, Pitches & Submissions

Submissions are more than just filling out forms, writing letters, and attaching the relevant documents. Navigating submissions requires thick skin, epic resolve, and knowing where to look. Lev can research appropriate media to which to submit your work, as well as write and perfect effective submissions that will differentiate you from the crowd and yield results.

Business

Publication in a variety of media, such as podcasts and trades magazines, is a highly effective means of marketing you, your company, service and product, to a captive audience. Lev will help you hone in on what you’re selling and to whom, will research appropriate media for your product and purpose, and craft successful pitches and long-form content on your behalf.

Academic

Lev can help you find appropriate publications to which to submit your academic work, such as magazines, journals, conferences, residencies, and more. With her help, several of Lev’s previous clients have been published in journals, presented at conferences, and been accepted to top programs at Stanford, Columbia, and other top universities, as well as to a variety of fellowships, including Fulbright and National Science Foundation fellowships.

Creative

Have dreams of your book, story, or essay being published? Crafting pitches to magazines, journals, agents, and publishers is both confusing and intimidating. Lev can help you craft a perfect pitch (or several) which will relay your story, home in on your selling point, and help get your story into your readers’ hands.

coaching

Want to write but don’t know where to start? Started a project but got stuck? You’re not alone! The writing and publication processes are not easy and have many moving parts. Lev offers one-on-one and group coaching sessions both online and in-person, and will guide, support, and teach you through any and every stage of your literary journey, to help you see your project through to completion.
