Hello!
My name is Sarah Currin and I am an editor and freelance publishing professional working in Portland, Oregon, on the traditional lands of the Clackamas, Cowlitz, and many other tribes living along the Columbia River.
A technical editor by trade, I am a graduate of Portland State University with my master’s degree in writing and book publishing. I am a collaborative editor for Indigo: Editing, Design, and More and have had the pleasure of working at Ooligan Press, Timber Press, Hawthorne Books, Tin House magazine, Sparkplug Comic Books, and Powell’s Books. I am also a publishing educator teaching book editing at Portland State University. I have extensive experience in all editorial areas and can skillfully edit a manuscript at every stage between acquisition and publication; projects I've worked on range from highly technical papers, business- and history-focused nonfiction, news articles, and blogs to memoirs, thrillers, essay collections, and literary fiction.
​
There's nothing more magical to me than the power of words, and I love connecting with people about the ways we communicate. Let me help you perfect your writing and tell your story!

I love refining a piece, whether I'm working to shape raw materials into something wholly different or simply polishing something that needs a finishing touch to make it sparkle. Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss your project and receive a quote for any of the following services.

Tommy Corey
Featuring the elevated, intimate art of photographer Tommy Corey, All Humans Outside is a reflective look at the varied ways people’s lives are forever changed by nature through sustainability and conservation work, outdoor sports and recreation, community building, and more. Corey traveled across the country and conducted more than two hundred interviews to chronicle these diverse experiences, sharing them through documentary-style photography and personal stories. Subjects include backcountry horse rider Gillian Larson, Triple Crowner Jack Jones, "seminomadic van-dwelling grandma" Pacific Crest Trail hiker Karen DeSousa, Filipinx immigrant and park ranger Francis Eymard Mendoza, adaptive athlete Annijke Wade, New York Hunters of Color ambassador Brandon Dale, bestselling author and runner Mirna Valerio, and many more. All Humans Outside is a stunning collection of stories in which everyone can find inspiration.
