Editorial Services

“Nick has a rare ability to blend professionalism, insight, and graciousness into the editing process. He listens deeply to the intent of a piece—when my writing skirted the edges of the difficult content out of fear or reluctance, he was able to draw me back to the core and say the hard things. He was both encouraging and critical for me to meet my potential as a writer. Anyone would be served well and I’d consider them lucky to have Nick bring his skill to their pages.”
— Darcy C.

“Nick is an agile, perceptive, and compassionate editor. His care with his writers’ intentions and text is evident throughout the editorial process, from pitching to copy editing. By publication time, my work was both richer from an external perspective and yet somehow truer to my own voice”

— Ethan L.

“Nick’s edits on my memoir were supremely insightful, sensitive, and constructive. His keen eye for detail and understanding of structure, POV, and elements of surprise transformed the quality of my narrative into a polished, rich, compelling story. I am so grateful for his literary expertise and profound intuition that he brings to every editing project. I highly recommend Nick Triolo to anyone seeking a professional writing editor who seeks to elevate their work to new heights!”

“As an editor, Nick is incredible at helping to identify and uncover the heart of a piece. He never inserts his own voice or direction, but works to understand the writer’s perspective and direct it with concise feedback, genuinely constructive criticism, and collaborative conversation. Working with him strengthened not just the work we did together, but my writing overall.”
