OES is a boutique, English-language editing service. Founded in 2021 by writer, editor, and teacher Matthew O’Brien, we offer a personal experience in an industry that has become faceless and automated, and we’re diverse rather than niche. We edit:
“His meticulous micro and macro edit of the story helped me win a regional, cash-prize writing competition and a spot in an anthology!” —Brian R., award-winning author and communications specialist
“Our paths crossed by fate; my book was meant to be in Matthew’s masterful hands.” —Andy B., author and entrepreneur
“Magically, with the new résumé and cover letter, I got the job in New York!” —Eliana M., architect and designer
“Matt has not just changed my perspective on editors and writing, he has become a friend.” —Logan G., realtor, bartender, and writer
“I highly recommend O’Brien Editing Services!” —Paul R., business owner
“He brought an editor’s eye and an artist’s heart to the projects.” —Moniro R., bestselling author
“I wish I had received this quality of critical analysis four decades ago!” —Frank F., playwright and aspiring novelist
“With their help, I got a B in a class that I otherwise would’ve struggled with.” —Karine P., undergrad student
“When I applied to MFA creative-writing programs, I was admitted into the program of my choice on the merits of one of the stories Matt edited.” —Joe W., teacher and grad-school applicant
