Cassie Armstrong – Editor

I'm a word nerd with sixteen years of editing experience who's edited two award winning trade books, but my specialty and love is editing children's books. I edit picture books, middle-grade fiction, YA fiction, and children's nonfiction. I work with independent authors, publishers, and packagers.

Working with words is my passion and helping you achieve your goals is my mission. As your editor, you'll first complete my author's questionnaire. I'll also ask for a sample from the middle of your manuscript to help me assess your editing needs. I'm thorough and easy to work with. I answer all emails as soon as I receive them, and I provide suggestions and answers throughout the editing process. A video conference is included in my contract and takes place after I return your edited manuscript. During the conference, I'll answer your questions and discuss other editing possibilities.

"I’m really pleased I chose Cassie to edit my book. She recommended sensible changes, gave good explanations of why she edited, edited in a way that still allowed my writing style to flow, and picked up errors that I hadn’t noticed while doing my own pre-editing. She is friendly and approachable, as well as professional. The editing process worked well despite being in another country. I look forward to working with her in the future. "
—Izzy Laing, Author of Lavender Plant and the Two Naughty Fairies

"Cassie’s editing and communication style make her an easy fit in today’s complex book projects. She is accurate and succinct. An all-around pleasure to work with."
