Overview
With more than 16 years in book publishing as an editor and project manager, and nearly two decades as a professional writer, I offer a unique set of experiences from both sides of the editorial desk. I have worked on books covering a wide range of genres including memoirs, health/wellness, fitness, nutrition, cookbooks, self-help, relationships, and business.
My services include developmental editing, copyediting, proofreading, editorial assessment, query letter review, and self-publishing project management.
My expertise truly shines when I work with authors to refine their vision and fine-tune their content. With my diverse skill set, I provide expert guidance at every stage of the process, from drafting an outline and helping flesh out your text with developmental edits, to going in with a fine-tooth comb for line edits and the crucial final copy edit. I'll even handle the entire self-publishing process for you!
My work style is professional and personable. I believe in tailoring each project to the author's unique needs, and I take the time to get to know you so I can create a customized experience that's just right for you. I'd love to hear about your project and see how we can work together!
TESTIMONIALS
“Anna is a fantastic editor and a tireless partner in the writing process. She has been invaluable to me from the book proposal stage through to manuscript completion. I credit being picked up by a publishing house to her tireless dedication and pushback on all things relevant, from start to finish. She is a true pleasure to work with.“
—Karissa Stelma, author of It’s Simple: The Politically Incorrect Guide to IVF
“Anna is a highly skilled and experienced professional. We have worked with her for editing, writing, and project management and she always proves to be a valuable asset to our projects.“
—Robert Murray, President, StyleMatters Publishing Services
It was a pleasure working with Anna. She is professional and responsive. The final product of her edit exceeded my expectation. I am grateful for her work and look forward to working with her in the future.
—Mbiotidem Bassey, Entering the Zone of Success
“Anna is an exceptional editor and manager of a diverse range of projects, from cookbooks, to health books, straight text to heavily illustrated. She is thorough, attentive to detail, and pleasant in all her interactions. I can’t think of a better colleague or project manager than Anna!”
—Dede Cummings, Founder of Green Writers Press
“It’s not easy to write. It’s harder to edit. It’s almost asking too much to have a last-minute, sketchy assignment result in a well-penned, clean copy filed under deadline, but this is exactly what Anna can do. I‘ve had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of this relationship for a few years and have come to depend on her more than she knows. An added bonus is she’s incredibly pleasant to work with. Two thumbs up!”
—Joanne Arbogast, Editor, Upstate Life (NY) Magazine
