Chelsea Harrison
Hi, My name is Chelsea Harrison and I love my patchwork career of writing, teaching, and editing.
I was born in Annapolis, Maryland and (besides my time in grad school living in Durham, England) I’m a lifelong Marylander.
I’ve always loved writing and teaching. In high school and college, I contributed to the school newspapers and literary journals. Even as an undergraduate, I got the hustle itch. I began freelancing and doing odd jobs around campus including transcription (some from VCR tapes, if you can believe it!), transcription editing, data entry, and research analysis.
While earning my MA in Durham, I specialized in poetry and was hired right out of grad school to teach for Anne Arundel Community College. In higher ed, I have taken on many roles- from professor to advisor to tutor. I love working with students to improve their writing and reach their educational goals.
I have continued my freelance work in tandem with my work in higher ed, as well as starting a family. I truly believe that being a mom makes me a more versatile writer and taskmaster, and being a working mom who gets to do creative work helping others makes me a better mom.

WRITING
Over the past 10 years, I have written blog posts, articles, website content, mission statements, company bios, reviews, press releases, lesson plans, course proposals, three children’s books, a travel guidebook, and a poetry chapbook. I can toggle easily between projects that require academic, formal styles of writing and creative, whimsical storytelling. Check out my work and let’s talk more about what unique style you’d like your content to have.
EDITING
As a copy editor, I can help ensure that your writing is clear, engaging, and error-free. I have edited novels, religious texts, translated books, blog posts, email content, website content, poetry, articles, magazines, course content, and newsletters. Name the industry and I have probably worked in it! View my editing services.

SOULCOLLAGE®
I am also a certified SoulCollage® facilitator. I would love to see you in one of my face-to-face workshops in Maryland, an online workshop, or plan a custom SoulCollage® workshop for your special event.
