About Us

The Editing Company is dedicated to helping authors achieve their goals, through manuscript critique, editorial assistance and/or hands-on collaboration.

Patricia Fried

Patricia Fried (Tish) got her start in editorial work as an art-director in the music industry. She left the music business when the president of the record company threw a compact disc at her head --- a little disagreement over the placement of a comma. "You learn to think fast in the music business, or at least you learn to punctuate." She adds, “I’ve always wanted to have my own company and to work with writers. Whether our clients are writing novels or non-fiction, the art of storytelling is now front and center in my life. The best stories are rooted in a personal sense of truth, and discovering that unique truth---whether it's rooted in experience or in imagination---shouldn't be labor, but play. That's what Write Yourself Free(SM) is all about.”

Tish is currently working on bringing more storytelling events to Connecticut and is dedicated to supporting writers with new and unique services. Her collaborations have ranged from memoir to dramaturgy to website development and copywriting. Columbia University, cum laude, BA. Tish lives in Westport, Connecticut with her teenage music-nerd son.

Patrick McCord, PhD

Patrick is a fugitive from Hollywood where he learned that his talents were more analytical than presentational. Putting his talents to work more constructively, he earned a PhD in Narratology (English) at the University of Georgia. He is an award-winning poet, published short story author, and he has sold teleplays and a screenplay. Before launching his own writing career, he worked in project development at both NY's Circle in the Square and LA's Mark Taper Forum. As a college professor, he has specialized in story- and identity-cognition in film and literature. His writing students at the University of South Carolina, Upstate, were regular award winners in the annual university-wide competitions. Patrick was honored to win the prestigious Mitchell Marcus Award in 1991. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of The Editing Company and is developing the Write Yourself Free(SM) Writing Manual.

Patrick believes that a lively imagination is essential to enjoying life, and that writing can change and even transform the imagination. Patrick lives in Westport, Connecticut.
