Editing for authors and publishers

I help writers refine their work into reader-ready manuscripts

Hi, I'm Cody.

Hi, I’m Cody—a professional copyeditor who couldn’t be more in love with the work he gets to do. My love for publishing started early, long before I knew what editing was, and grew through a background in journalism, where collaboration and clarity were essential. Today, I help writers refine their work at the sentence level, helping polish their words into clean, clear, reader-ready manuscripts. It would be my honor to help you along your publishing journey. Let’s connect and see how I can help.

Your book is safe in my hands

When you work with me, you don’t just get a detail-oriented editor who’s committed to quality—you get a thoughtful collaborator who truly has your book’s best interest at heart. I’ll take care of the mechanics—spelling, grammar, syntax, formatting, redundancies, and more— but I’ll also make sure you’re never in the dark about an edit I suggest or a recommendation I make. My goal is for you to feel supported and confident throughout the entire process.

Kind Words from Clients

“Here is an editor that embodies all the qualities you pray for in that profession: a keen eye for the flow of the text, suggested rewrites that fit in perfectly, and deep respect for the writer’s voice.”

José Sotolongo, Parallel Circuits

“From the start, Cody delivered as promised. Communication was clear, consistent, well thought out, and timely. Not to mention enjoyable. He has a special talent to be extremely personable via email, and extremely professional . . . It is rare to find someone who can provide high quality work with a high level of knowledge, and a great personality . . . I've already asked Cody to continue working with me well into next year. Highly recommend Cody Raschella for all authors who would like to have a well polished manuscript.”
