Betsy Blondin – Editor

As a longtime editor, proofreader and publisher of nonfiction and fiction, I can edit almost anything. I love to help improve any writing!

Overview

As an accomplished editor with vast editorial, writing, and publishing experience, I am a creative communicator with a passion for people, words, and details.

My career has been diverse. From legal assistant to newspaper reporter and copyeditor; to managing editor for a history-book publisher; to self-publishing two anthologies; to semi-retirement, freelance editing, and global citizenship, I have acquired a wealth of knowledge and insights.

Serving for nine years as editorial manager for the history book publisher. I helped shepherd more than 75 books through the publishing process, from conception and editing to design, layout, and printing.

The majority of my editorial work has been in nonfiction, and I have most recently copyedited a crime novel, a memoir, and a nonfiction book on biological agriculture. I have also copyedited and proofread academic papers, articles, website and blog content, reports of nonprofit organizations, and material from non-native English speakers. My passion is for fiction, and I am an avid reader.


I hope you let me help you make your writing, whatever the project, the best it can be!

I love helping to make any piece of writing the best it can possibly be.
