Welcome to ROSE THORN Editing
Your Spiritual Story Deserves Someone Who Truly Gets It
Editing doesn't have to be a thorn in your side, but sometimes you need a sharp thorn to make your work bloom.
Whether you need an editor for your manuscript or a writer for your newsletter, blog, or marketing materials, I bring authenticity and power to your writing.
Meet ELLE (she/they)
Scholar, Creative, And Devoted Explorer of The Sacred In Everyday Life
With dual bachelor's degrees in International Studies (Asia Region) and Theological and Religious Studies from Fordham University, I bring both academic rigor and genuine curiosity to every project. A Dean's List student who published research on Zen Buddhism and Japanese cultural history, I've spent years studying how people find meaning across traditions, from spiritual centers throughout NYC to welcoming 2026 at Meiji-jingu in Tokyo.
As a trans woman and creative, I understand firsthand the courage it takes to tell your truth. I'm here to amplify all voices and help spiritual stories resonate exactly the way you intend.
When I'm not working with words, you'll find me playing guitar in a social justice-focused band or writing essays about religious themes in pop culture.

Working TOGETHER
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all editing or writing. Here's what you can expect when we work together:
Deep Understanding, Not Just Technical Skill
I bring lived experience and academic expertise to all content. I don't just edit or write about these topics. I live them.
Sharp Feedback That Helps You Grow
Whether I'm editing your work or creating content for you, I provide thoughtful, incisive input that strengthens what's already there while honoring your unique vision.
Your Voice, Amplified
I'm not here to make your content sound like me. I'm here to help it sound like you, only clearer, stronger, more resonant.
Committed To Your Vision
Your project isn't just another file in my inbox; it's a piece of your truth, and I treat it that way.
