Owned and Operated by: Noella Keresoma

Welcome to Tapa Cloth Media, LLC!

My name is Noella. I am an editor, writer, and digital content creator based in San Diego, California.

I copyedit and proofread nonfiction reports and manuscripts for medical legal experts and healthcare topics. I also copy and line edit romance fiction novels, as well as provide authenticity (or sensitivity) reading for characters and settings based in healthcare and medicine.

When I am not reviewing manuscripts with my proverbial “red pen”, I am also writing my blog about American football; tackle and flag. Through my company, I also create photo and video content for social media, both for myself and some of my author-clients.

My dream for Tapa Cloth Media (TCM), is to create a one-stop cost efficient content creation platform for medical experts, independent authors, and small to medium-size businesses for their marketing projects.

These are the core services I have based my business on. If there is not something specific you see here, send me an email or contact form, so we can discuss how I can help.

Copyediting Fiction

You bring the words, and I’ll bring the grammar. Let’s conquer commas, point of view, and showing vs. telling together to give your reader’s a story they cannot put down.

Medical Legal Editing

Medical legal editing polishes a medical report to maintain a clear, compelling, and credible expert opinion. I can help review your report before final submission.

Writing

I can assist you to compose a professional correspondence, blog post, or newsletter without the hassles of finding the right algorithm for an AI writer.

Content Creation

Content is king in the digital age. From photography shoots, to social media account management, I can help you create engaging content for your product or service.

About

For a little over a decade, I have been working full time as a critical care nurse in Southern California. After the pandemic, I realized how much the public lacked knowledge when it came to issues such as: vaccinations, proactive healthcare, and the irrational purchasing of toilet paper. The pandemic was also a huge learning curve in the healthcare setting, especially for new graduate nurses.

After countless opportunities of teaching new nurses and my patients, I learned how to share my knowledge and information in a way that seemed to make a difference. So, I decided to start a content creation company to combine my knowledge of nursing with my side talents for writing, proofreading, and video editing, to expand my ability to help others.

Copyediting became my main focus after I became friends with a romance fiction author who initially tried to recruit me as her beta reader. Through our text conversations, she realized how meticulous I was with my grammar. After her tenacious insistence to expand my medical copyediting skills to include creative literature, she hired me as her editor. We have now successfully worked together on three of her four novels out on Kindle Unlimited.

I chose “tapa cloth” as the name for my business because I wanted a unique representation of my culture through my work. In the Polynesian culture, the tapa cloth is used as a family’s way to keep track of their history and share their story. It is made from the bark of the mulberry tree and decorated with designs signifying the important history of each family and/or village.
