Andrea Vinley Converse – Editor

Collaborative and developmental nonfiction editor with an eye for the big picture, as well as the details, and 25 years in publishing.

Overview

Andrea works with high-profile authors/speakers, trade publishers, and first-time writers. She started her career in journalism, working a decade at a publishing group with multiple periodicals and nearly 2 million subscribers. When she shifted to nonfiction books in 2009, she found a real love for working closely with authors throughout the entire editorial process. She has worked with several best-selling authors, including Gabby Bernstein, Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Daniel Amen, and specializes in prescriptive nonfiction, specifically health, sports, self-improvement, memoir, and faith-based topics.


An expert at developing book proposals and manuscripts, Andrea creates the best structure, identifies the most compelling story and/or content, addresses audience and publisher needs, and guides authors to take their writing to the next level of excellence. She is a natural listener who connects easily with authors and experts from varied backgrounds to understand their message, goals, and values.
