My Philosophy

I believe in the transformational power of stories.

They spark our imaginations. They bind us together. They invite conversation. They ignite change.

Stories are our most powerful resource. My mission is to help you tap into that resource to meet your communication goals, entice your audience, and forge a healthier, more just world.

Who I’ve worked with

What my clients say

 

“Talented, reliable, cheerful, hard-working, and just plain good: That’s writer-editor Meredith Bailey. She approaches all her writing tasks—marketing blurb, fundraising letter, scientific article—with dedication, good humor, and abundant skill. Working with her is a pleasure!”

— Delia Ward

Communications Professional; Former Director for Communications, UW Medicine Advancement

“I've worked with Meredith on two of my published books and she is one of the most astute, competent, and responsive of any of my editors. I highly recommend her for her grasp of the whole book, her ability to anticipate the book's narrative arc, and her own writerly understanding of the author's intent. Her suggestions are brilliant and intuitive—yet never intrude upon the author's own voice.”

— Brenda Peterson

“Meredith has proved herself to be an incisive editor who honors her writers' intentions and capabilities. She guides with a sure and steady hand, often revealing hidden gems buried in a manuscript. Meredith's particular gift as a professional partner is encouragement, whether illuminating the praiseworthy or identifying that which needs better crafting.”
