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!

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!
