Carolyn Banks – Editor

I respect the writing of those who come to me. I'm honest about my assessment and I'm versatile, thorough, reliable, not-easily-shocked.

Overview

When I'm editing, I preserve your style and vision, but suggest additions, deletions and possible structural changes to make your work as powerful as it can be. I point out grammatical errors, if need be, so that you can learn to correct them. I specialize in women's, literary and humorous fiction. I don't work with science fiction or fantasy books. For five years I was managing editor of LifeTimes and work with nonfiction, too. Nothing super-scientific or technical, please. Check out my Wikipedia page:
