Robert Mann – Editor

I'm a longtime journalist and political historian, the author of ten books, and the former editor of a media and public affairs book series for a major university press. A full-time university faculty member, I taught courses on writing. In 30 years of writing and editing books, I have written and reviewed dozens of book proposals for trade and university presses.

I can provide detailed feedback for a book proposal or a finished manuscript.

For a manuscript, I will critique your work on at least two levels of detail:

1. A thorough content edit of each chapter (reviewing for style, structure, plot, organization, plus copy editing/proofreading).

2. A general manuscript critique memo that addresses strengths, weaknesses, and provides suggestions for improvement.
