So you wish to know who’s behind it all?
Meet the Vocarium Owls!
Zo Viya
Zo is a barn owl who grew up exploring the woods and playing in the coop with the chicks. But when she discovered the alphabet at age three, her passion became reading everything she could put her beak into — fantasy, science fiction, romance, adventure. She read so much that Bard College awarded her with a BA in English literature. Today, she’s an accomplished copyeditor!

Gene de Paule
Gene is a Mexican spotted owl who can translate to and from three languages! He’s a serious, deep thinker and writer, as well as a baritone singer, music composer... Ah! And a photo aficionado!
As a developmental editor, he looks at our writers’ stories from up high, to suggest how all the bits and pieces may work together harmoniously.
In 2021...

“A pleasure to work with!”
Vocarium’s copyediting never loses sight of the tone, nuance, and voice of each author’s text. Their team is organized, on time, and a pleasure to work with. We have produced several artist publications together, and each project has gone smoothly, much to their credit. I cannot recommend their work highly enough.

“An amazing team to work with!”
During the distribution phase of my documentary film over the past year, Vocarium’s team assisted me greatly by drafting newsletters and reviewing and editing written interviews, social media posts, and more.
The work, often requested on very short notice, was always delivered on time, regardless of the fact that we were in different time zones. The copy they delivered held great sensitivity, reflecting their interest in immersing themselves in the subjects at hand to bring out the best.
Thank you Zo and Gene!
