Our Story
My name is Paula de la Cruz-Fernández and I am founder and manager of Edita.us. In mid-2008, I decided to move to the United States to pursue a doctorate in History.
Right from the outset, attending three courses each semester and submitting approximately one paper every week, I realized that it was necessary to adapt my writing style in Spanish to how American academics expressed scholarly ideas and research. While I was proficient in English, having taken all the necessary courses and spent summers abroad to practice the language, I learned that writing for a specialized, expert audience did not easily translate.
Therefore, throughout my 6 years of graduate school, I devoted several hours to the Writing Center and scheduled time with my native English peers (students and faculty) to review every piece of writing I produced. I will be forever grateful for all the help they provided me.
I would often return the favor by proofreading, translating, and transcribing in Spanish. But shortly after graduating, I founded Edita to provide this crucial assistance as a regular service.
In this journey, I always counted on the partnership and expertise of Dr. Elisabeth O’Kane Lipartito whose writing expertise and elegance, and research skills in History, contributed to expand Edita’s reach throughout the years. We have been offering language and research services to writers for an entire decade and the team has grown.
The Edita team is now comprised of highly trained professionals in Europe and the Americas.
