If you're looking for folks with these talents and offerings, please reach out to their personal/business accounts and websites for more information.

Rita Mock-Pike — Editor, Writer, Voice Actor, SEO Strategist, and Creative Coach
I don’t let a niche dissuade my pursuits. Instead, I bring my passions into the work I do — whether in writing, editing, coaching, or performing.
What I can help with:
- Developmental & copy editing — fiction, nonfiction, poetry, short works, full-length manuscripts
- Writing & creativity coaching — manuscript guidance, accountability, creative process support
- Voice acting & voiceover — narration, character work, commercial reads
- Organic SEO audits & content strategy — for creative sites, blogs, and literary magazines
- Recipe & cookbook writing — recipe development, headnotes, cookbook consultation
- Freelance writing — articles, essays, travel writing
- One-woman shows — performances for venues of just about any size
I'm the author of three cookbooks with Ulysses Press (Simon & Schuster), Co-founding Editor-in-Chief of The MockingOwl Roost, and a trained actor, vocalist, and voice artist with 30+ years experience on the stage and in the booth. I’ve also been coaching creatives and actors for 15+ years.
