About The Word Angel

I am Angel B.

​

I fell in love with the intricacies and technical details of the English language when I read Strunk & White's The Elements of Style in high school. I found the book riotously funny and carried it with me like a sacred text—a sure sign of a born editor.

After graduating from Barnard College of Columbia University in New York City, I landed a job in the editorial department of the Modern Language Association. There, surrounded by some of the greatest editorial minds our country has to offer, I came to understand that beautiful writing is both an art and a craft—one that would take as much time, concentration, passion, and training to master as any other technical trade.
