Hannah Waters

story editing


It is an honor to be entrusted with writers' drafts and to collaborate to sharpen their ideas, paragraphs, and sentences. My best work invisibilizes me, and I am good with that. I would never want to take credit for any of the stories below; they are what they are because of the writers, not me. At the same time I take pride the beautiful magazine articles we make together. Here are some standouts.

In addition to features, I edit news, explainers, Q&As, packages, reader service, infographics, photo galleries, and more. I edited most, but not all, of the past few years of Quanta Magazine biology stories, if you're looking for work samples.

Testimonials

Thank you for a wonderful collaboration! You are kind and caring, and your edits courteous and effective. The best editors double as therapists, coaches and cheerleaders, and you wear all hats well.

I don't mean to blow smoke up your a**, but you're the best editor I've ever worked with.
