Headline
To write is human, to edit is divine. - Stephen King
Biography
Hey there! I’m Arielle, and I’m thrilled to be part of the editing team at Dibbly/Urban Writers! I’ve been in the writing and editing field for seven years, working across various genres, including nonfiction, fiction, scripts, blogs, and SEO. I hold three degrees: a BA in Psychology, a BA in Professional Writing, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Public Relations and Communications. I love learning from others and the unique perspectives they bring.
From an early age, I was fascinated by the human mind and behavior, which led me to pursue psychology. That foundation sharpened my critical thinking and gave me a deeper understanding of people, their motivations, struggles, and stories. This perspective has shaped the way I approach writing and editing, helping me bring authenticity and nuance to every project.
I later stepped into the dynamic world of public relations, where I learned the art of strategy, storytelling, and audience engagement. Combined with my professional writing studies, these experiences equipped me to craft content that is not only clear and compelling but also deeply resonates with readers.
While AI has undoubtedly transformed the industry, I believe a human touch remains essential. Technology can generate words, but it can’t replace the intuition, empathy, and lived experience that give writing its true power. That’s where editors like me come in to ensure stories feel alive, relatable, and impactful.
Outside of work, I’m usually spending time with my kids or lost in a book. I’m especially drawn to historical fiction and classic literature, and I admire authors like Haruki Murakami, Philippa Gregory, Wally Lamb, and Tom Perrotta. One of my favorite quotes is by Oscar Wilde: “With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?”
Previous experience, degrees, and qualifications
As a skilled professional writer with a bachelor's degree in Professional Writing and Psychology and a postgraduate certificate in Business Communications and Public Relations, I am confident I will be an asset to your project.
With over eight years of experience in Communications and four years in a Professional Writing setting, my communication skills, writing abilities, and ability to work well in a team setting allow me to collaborate effectively during the editing process. My strong writing and analytical skills enable me to deliver top-tier service to authors seeking to bring their books to the world.
I have a passion for storytelling and helping others perfect their vision, spreading life-changing knowledge and advice. Additionally, I am passionate about empowering people in health and well-being, striving to share valuable insights that can enhance their lives and promote a healthier lifestyle.
Interests and hobbies
I have a deep passion for reading and writing. Getting lost in a captivating book or creating a beautifully crafted piece is an unparalleled experience. Even with my busy schedule filled with work and raising my two children, I make a point to prioritize my physical health. I commit to a consistent workout routine, exercising five to six days a week. I believe that taking leisurely walks and hikes not only keeps me active but also rejuvenates my spirit, as well as those around me. Embracing these habits enriches my life and boosts my overall well-being.
How I'd describe my personality in two sentences
I am a fierce empath who cares deeply about others and a determined perfectionist who believes in learning from mistakes. I am an extroverted introvert who loves meeting new people and hearing their stories.
How I'd describe my approach to my work
In my approach to work, I place a strong emphasis on understanding you—the client/writer—along with your target audience. By delving into your goals and the intentions behind your vision, I can tailor my services to better meet your needs. Before making any adjustments, I make it a priority to read through the entire piece, ensuring that I grasp its essence completely.
When your work reaches me, I handle it with the highest level of care and respect, as if it were my own creative venture. Recognizing that writing is a deeply personal journey, I am dedicated to helping you achieve the book you envision.
Why should you choose me for your project
My writing and editing skills and experience make me a suitable candidate for your needs. I enjoy brainstorming and am committed to every project I undertake. I excel in dynamic environments where each day presents new challenges. My top priority is to fully understand your project vision, enabling me to provide exceptional service tailored to your goals and aspirations. I am committed to transforming concepts into polished, compelling narratives that resonate with your audience.

Best communication I have received from an editor. Saw the small things to fix as well as the larger conceptual things and brought them to my attention so I could choose how I wanted to proceed. Worked well as a team with the writer as well.

I must admit I was nervous about handing over my manuscript to a complete stranger for editing. This is my first book, and there are so many unknowns. However, Arielle's approach quickly put me at ease. Her communication from start to finish was consistent and clear. Her editing method helped me understand what was happening at every step of the process. What impressed me the most was her ability to notice things that I had missed or simply wasn't aware of. I learned a valuable lesson from this experience: having a fresh perspective from a professional can greatly enhance the quality of the final product. Thank you, Arielle. I look forward to collaborating again on my next project!
