About me
I’m Rachel Porter, a native Californian living in the Netherlands.
I have a background in baking and in history, and lifelong passions for reading and crafting. For 10+ years, I have edited a variety of writing, including recipes, academic writing, business manuals, novels, and websites. I started working with freelance clients in 2020 and founded Rachel Porter Editing in 2022.
Each edit I make is driven by the desire to maintain the integrity of your message while enhancing its impact. Your words deserve to be presented flawlessly, and I'm here to make that a reality.
I work with clients based in the United States and in Europe.
Certificate in Copyediting, University of California, San Diego—Extended Studies
BA in History, with Honors, Phi Beta Kappa, University of California, Berkeley
Certificate in Baking and Pastry, California Culinary Academy
Additional coursework on editing cookbooks and editing for the web
My personal interests include baking, travel, nature, gardening, handcrafts and folk traditions, sewing and embroidery, crafting, global history, and European history from the ancient world through the Enlightenment.
