Patricia Flaherty Pagan
I am the award-winning author of Trail Ways Pilgrims and Enduring Spirit: Stories. I provide developmental and structural editing services to assist writers in polishing their fiction and memoir, MFA application portfolios, interviews and essays. I evaluate, edit and organize manuscripts based on story structure, characterization, consistency, word choice and originality. I offer constructive feedback and write short summaries for my clients. A former social worker with personal and professional experience with trauma, I offer sensitivity and authenticity reading on issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, child abuse and domestic violence. I also have experience collaborating with visual artists. For a decade, I was the editor-in-chief at Spider Road Press. I earned my MFA from Goddard College.
