Hi. I'm Shea Drefs.
I've edited and written professionally for over a decade ― on the staff of Arizona's largest newspaper, an Ivy League university, a Silicon Valley startup and beyond.
My deepest satisfaction comes from work that engages my soul, which is why I focus now on religious and spiritual texts. I'm versed in the many vocabularies of belief as an avid yogi raised Roman Catholic who has explored the Baha'i faith, evangelical Christianity, Far East religions, New Age and more.
My sojourn has taught me that we all carry divine wisdom. I'm here to help you usher yours into the world.
Whether you're self-publishing a book, finalizing an academic paper, submitting essays to magazines or authoring something else focused on the sacred, please contact me at SHEA Spiritual Editing & Proofreading.
I'd love to discuss how I can help make your project a success.
