Hi! I'm Sara Torres, Ph.D.

I’m a seasoned editor and content strategist for mission-driven organizations.

Mission statements. Case studies. Annual reports. Funding bids and proposals.

These are your organization’s most valuable pieces of communication.

They shape your mission, tell your story, and capture the essence of your product or service.

Whether you’re charting growth, recruiting team members, or collaborating with stakeholders, these documents share your organization’s vision with the world.

Sustainable growth, long-term impact, and change management require effective communications documents. Let me help you leverage these pieces to maximize their impact.

My Services

I help digital marketing agencies, civic tech companies, writers, and creative teams produce, polish, and proofread high-impact documents.

Copyediting

Copy editing is one of the most important parts of the editorial process. A document polished to perfection breeds trust, confidence, and authority for your brand.

Coaching

I support scholars in higher education working on research projects, as well as writers working on memoirs and creative nonfiction, through coaching and developmental editing.

Lead with your story.

Compelling storytelling is fundamental to your company’s impact and growth.

As an editor, I work with organizations that are building exciting new products and providing meaningful services that help people and communities. But to have the greatest impact, these companies need to ensure that they share their story with the right audiences. I can help.

Editing ensures your communication assets are clear, consistent, and effective. An editor can help you document your processes, goals, and vision in language that is accessible and powerful.

I have experience working with remote-forward and international teams to develop content for diverse audiences. I bring a deep knowledge of inclusive language, semantics, and style guides to my work.
