I offer developmental editing on your book or book proposal to help you clarify your ideas and create a product that will sell. I frequently work on books in these subject areas: law, finance, business, self-help, how-to, children's non-fiction, travel, parenting, and food.

I also create indexes for non-fiction books so that your readers can find the information they are looking for. Creating a good index is an art form and involves having an understanding of what things readers will look for and what words they will use in their search.
