Alexandria Delcourt
ABOUT
Alexandria specializes in editing commercial fiction and memoir. She also works with fantasy, magical realism, cookbooks, and romance authors, and has a special interest in working with BIPOC authors, though everybody is welcome here!
Alexandria offers the full spectrum of editing services, from proofreading and copyediting to full manuscript evaluation and development. She also offers manuscript and writing consulting and coaching.
Alexandria is a writer and editor working out of Madison, WI. She earned her MFA in Creative Writing from the Stonecoast MFA Program in Creative Writing in 2014 where she served as the Editor in Chief of Stonecoast Review for two years. After graduating, she taught Creative Writing and English classes at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater for eight years. During the pandemic, she had her first baby and then began editing and writing full-time. She has edited dozens of memoirs, copyedited everything from full-length novels to business books, cookbooks, and academic publications, and has extensive experience diagnosing editing needs and working with authors to fully develop their stories, writing, and voice.
As a graduate student, Alexandria specialized in full-length fiction writing. She focused her craft studies on contemporary multicultural writing, both fiction and non-fiction. At the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, she taught Multicultural Literature, American Indian Literature, and Race and Ethnic Studies courses in addition to Creative Writing and Introductory English. Her academic background, extensive teaching/ editorial experience, and first-hand experience as a full-time published author and editor have given her a deep understanding of contemporary fiction, as well as the skills necessary to guide any writer through the writing process, no matter where they're starting from or what genre they're working within. She also loves cross-genre work and projects that don't quite fit into any genre at all!
