Hope inspired her students, who struggle with writing ability, to hone their ideas, write with competence and even excellence, explore new topics in art and science and literature, and have fun doing it. She was skilled at taking her students in the direction of combining material they were comfortable with - digital technology - with new skills to produce scripted video essays. Hope is passionate about language and writing and bringing out the best in her students.

Being a small business owner necessitates wearing many hats, some of which are not great fits. Writing the copy for our website and blogs has been challenging. Hope has been an enormous help in editing and writing coaching and I recommend her highly.

Hope Scott is a lifelong student of language and a strong proponent and practitioner of effective writing. After I graduated from college with an English degree, Hope patched a gaping hole in my tutelage by insisting I read William Zinsser's "On Writing Well." That book gave me a new set of tools I used to embark on a journalism career writing and editing for Forbes, Wired, Vanity Fair, and Outside. I hold Hope in the highest regard as an editor, a coach and a champion of first-class writing.

I needed some help tweaking my website for my overnight camp. Hope came to the rescue. She listened to my vision and came through on the delivery. She was great and easy to work with.

I highly recommend Hope Scott's services as an editor and writing coach. Hope recently edited a manuscript of mine with exceptional professionalism and thoughtfulness. As a fine writer herself, she truly understands the craft and, moreover, how to breathe spirit into a work in progress.
