Hello Subscribers! My name is Jovanna and I recently joined The Ice Colony Podcast as a Copy Editor. I read submissions from writers who are looking to receive feedback on their writing. Focusing on grammar, structure and content, my goal is to help writers get their pieces elevated to the next level. I’d like to thank everyone who has used our editing services this past month. We have received wonderful stories with outstandingly creative ideas, and it has been a pleasure reading through all of them! Please check out our editing services here if you would like feedback on your creative pieces. I can’t wait to read more stories from all of you and join in on the process of your writing journeys! |
