I've edited over 100 books, most in the SF&F genres. (The rest have been in romance, including LGBTQ romance, and some nonfiction.) I can edit anything and probably have. My best-known client is Christopher G. Nuttall, an Amazon All-Star novelist; I've edited over 40 books for him alone, but he's not my only client. (Just the best-known at this time.) I'm also a regular freelancer for Twilight Times Books and am on their editorial board.
