Professional Experience

I am the principal of the recently launched Leila Porteous Editorial, a full-service firm that offers clients support in the form of everything from in-depth editing to ghostwriting to copywriting. If you have a message to share, I can help you deliver it with clarity, power, and ingenuity. Over the past decade, I have held editor roles at Penguin Random House, McGraw-Hill, and Grand Central Publishing, where I developed expertise in the health and fitness, business, art and design, and pop culture categories. In addition to editing and writing books, I have a special interest in building my copywriting and online content development portfolios. Please contact me to inquire about discounted rates for those services.
