About Me

Hi! My name is Nicole SantaLucia. At SantaLucia EditProof, my mission is to support and empower writers by helping them produce their strongest, most authentic work. Born from a lifelong love of reading and a deep respect for the writing process, this small business was created to offer thoughtful, personalized editing and proofreading services, especially for fiction and mental health-focused content. I believe every writer deserves a skilled and supportive editor who values their voice and vision. Through SantaLucia EditProof, I strive to be that partner, helping your writing shine with clarity, purpose, and impact.

Experience

Though SantaLucia EditProof is a newer venture, it’s built on a strong foundation of passion, dedication, and hands-on experience. With two years as a beta and ARC reader, and many more as an unofficial editor for friends and family, I’ve developed a keen eye for detail and a deep respect for the writing process. My background as a licensed school counselor gives me unique insight into mental health-focused content, and my lifelong love of fiction fuels everything I do. I’m continually learning, growing, and honing my craft, because helping your writing shine means never settling for “good enough.”
