Amy Park – Editor

Storytelling is my passion! I'm an editor and published author with 30 years of experience. Let me help you bring your stories to life.

Overview

For the last 30 years, I have written and edited for numerous publications including serving as a copy editor, proofreader and contract production editor for an imprint of one of the Big Five publishers.


I have edited contemporary romances, historical romances, mystery, and suspense, as well as several nonfiction books. While I enjoy wordsmithing all genres, I have a soft spot for romance. My detail-oriented nature lends itself to noting timeline issues and inconsistent character behavior.


In 2023, I earned my MFA in Creative Writing. I have published one novel, "Unexpected Love," and have several works in progress. As a writer, I have a bad habit of leaving out words, especially the word "not."
