My Vision
To deliver high-quality editorial and coaching services, using a unique change management approach, to ensure that the finished product is the best it can be.
My Mission
The Ivatt Editorial Consultancy isn’t just a freelance editing business. For now, I am the only member of the team, but I have big ambitions for my business that can be broken down into three mission statements:
To offer and deliver high-quality editorial and coaching services to authors and publishing professionals.
To design, promote and use my unique editorial and coaching approach, which combines editing with Change Management and Lean Six Sigma methodologies.
To raise awareness of chronic illnesses, long-term health conditions and disabilities, and to create future ways of working for such individuals in the editing industry.
How will I achieve this?
The plan so far is to measure success by:
Creating a list of returning clients from fiction, non-fiction and academic areas, and of both individual authors and publishing professionals
Write and publish a book on my editing approach, as well as templates and tools that can be shared with coaching clients and, on a limited basis, freely with those who would find them useful.
Forge strong partnerships with big publishers, who use the Ivatt Editorial Consultancy as a go-to source of editors and coaches.
To host a list of freelancers, which will aim to have a certain percentage of editors who identify as having a chronic illness, long-term health condition, or disability.
