Brooke Hill

Brooke Hill – Editor

I have 6 years of experience editing at HarperCollins, specializing in Christian nonfiction and memoir, including multiple NYT bestsellers.

Overview

I’ve spent the past 6 years honing my craft as an editor in the Christian nonfiction space. I’ve worked on Bible studies, devotionals, workbooks, but mainly trade books. I also edit self-help and memoir books. I love collaborating with authors who are passionate about their ideas but want a skilled partner to help bring them to life. I am well-versed in how to retain a writer's voice while still improving manuscripts for clarity and grammar. My process is thoughtful but efficient: I start by understanding your goals and voice, then move into drafting, refining, and polishing until everything feels right. I prioritize clear communication, realistic timelines, and a no-surprises approach.

When we work together, my goal is to make your life easier and your work stronger. Whether you need help shaping a rough idea, tightening your prose, or figuring out the best structure for your message, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you to where you want to be. You can expect honest feedback and collaborative energy, like you’re having a conversation with a (professional) friend in the comments. I’m here to support your vision, respect your voice, and help you produce something you’re proud to share.

The basic copy writing task was complete, though I did find some dispute re Chicago style and how notes should be formatted (or could be formatted, and still considered acceptable or correct).

I wrote my first book and thankful I spent the money on an editor. I chose Brooke because she seemed genuinely interest in the book- a book about my life's journey, which includes military deployments, mental health struggles, addiction...and God's grace. Brooke was highly professional and I grea...

Brooke did a great job on the project and even finished a little ahead of schedule. I appreciated her review because she identified a recurring pattern in my writing that could have distracted the audience. It was something others had missed during earlier reviews (family and friends). Because sh...
