Ruta Skujins
Editorial Consultant
Ruta Skujins has spent years editing and proofreading
in the corporate world and only recently made the move
to editing fiction. She began beta-reading manuscripts
in 2004 and since then has helped shepherd several to
publication stage. Growing up in a household where several
languages were spoken, she often read aloud, translating
on the fly, for her grandmother who spoke no English.
Because of her family’s emphasis on books and translation,

the emotion of a well-crafted sentence or paragraph.
She is especially good with newer writers who are still
finding their voices and can be counted on for encouragement
and support at every step of the editing process
