Writing Portfolio
Hi! I’m Vida Mercer. Thank you for stopping by my writing portfolio.
I’ve spent years honing a classic writing style that delivers clarity and substance while being personal and relatable. This—combined with my extensive subject-matter expertise in homeschooling and non-traditional education—has given me the honor of writing, editing, and developing curricula for some of the top publishers in the industry.
Best writer I have worked with. Thank you Vida!

Books & Curricula
Vida is an exceptionally talented author. We felt strongly about the tone we wanted and she completely nailed it. She also communicated with us regularly, responded promptly to questions/requests, provided insightful suggestions for improvement, and met all of her deadlines. I am not sure words exist to describe how incredibly fortunate we feel in having found her. The fact that she is a truly genuine person is just a bonus. We highly recommend her.

Outstanding . . . I was beyond impressed with her knowledge of the subject and her engaging writing style. We’re already working on additional projects together . . . Looking forward to a long-term relationship.

Vida has been great to work with. An expert in homeschooling both professionally and personally. I had a clear vision of what type of curriculum I wanted to bring to the market, and the end result was better than I had in my mind. Just shows that it makes so much sense to work with experts who are smarter than you 🙂 I could not recommend her enough if you are looking for an expert in homeschooling or early childhood education, or curriculum design.

Vida is such a talented writer and is incredibly easy to work with. She’s quick to respond, communicates timelines, and the quality is always 10/10. Vida will stick to a prompt if given to her, but is also extremely creative and will come up with incredible content on her own if requested. Cannot recommend her enough!
