Who knew there was a story in my detailed descriptions about the United Nations climate policy negotiations? I was drowning in minutiae until Leila rescued me, or rather my manuscript by sloughing off the extras, leavening the prose, and showing me the arc of possible storylines. Thank you, Leila, for helping me realize the potential in my work.

Word by word, Leila examines the text and asks why, how, when and where. She helps make my prose transparent, exciting and eminently readable.

Leila is an extremely responsible, efficient and professional editor. If there is an Oscar in the field of academic editing, she deserves to win.

Go past the ease and flexibility that comes with working with Leila Corcoran, and arrive more specifically, at her scrutiny of the word and the relevance of its place within the body of text. Just remarkable!

Leila Corcoran is a brilliant and supportive wordsmith who will help you express yourself clearly and forcefully. I learned so much from her about writing. Could not have won the 2021 Cundill Prize in History without her!
