Amy Barham – Editor

I work in Christian publishing in several categories including study Bibles, inspirational stories, devotionals, and ministry resources.

Overview

I have been a professional editor in Christian publishing since 2006. I have worked for Thomas Nelson, Zondervan, Lifeway, and many others. With experience in several genres, including study Bibles, Bible studies, devotionals, memoirs, inspirational stories, pastoral resources, and Bible history and culture, I can readily adapt to a writer's style and needs.

I have worked extensively with self-publishing authors, and I know how to ensure a writer's work is the best it can be while maintaining their unique voice and vision. I deeply respect the writing process and lead with kindness while working with authors to produce a published work they can be proud of. My great joy is helping unpublished authors turn their dreams into reality.

I'm in awe of Amy and her work here. Her understanding and control of the English language was valued as much as her excellent theological observations which have helped throughout the book. I'm extremely grateful to her, and would recommend her as a professional without hesitation.

After I submitted my book on Amazon I realized there were country grammatical errors and misspelled words that the editor did not catch. It does not even look like she read or edited my last 4 chapters at all.

Amy was such a joy to work with! She took care of all the little formatting details and suggested wording changes that made my manuscript so much better while not changing my voice at all. She fact-checked everything for me and identified grammar issues that I had totally missed. I will definit...
