Hi, I’m Marla, the heart and mind behind The Marla Touch. With a deep love for the written word, I specialize in helping indie authors and creatives polish their work through meticulous proofreading and insightful beta reading. My goal is to ensure your stories are clear, engaging, and error-free.

As an avid bookworm who’s always had an obsession with great stories, I’ve spent years perfecting the art of catching even the smallest errors (much to the delight—and occasional frustration—of those around me). When I’m not buried in books, I’m likely embracing the joys of being an aunt, correcting grammar while sharing laughs with my favorite little humans. My knack for detail and passion for language combine to bring your manuscripts to their best possible version.

When I’m not immersed in editing, you can find me exploring new stories, both on the page and in life.
