Catherine Dee – Editor

Do you want to:

● Share your unique expertise with the world?

● Create a captivating nonfiction book your readers love?

● Make your writing straightforward, easy to read, and professional?

● Avoid rookie editorial errors?

● Eliminate grammar errors and typos?

I can help with all of that!

What qualifies to be your prospective editor?

● I'm passionate about helping nonfiction authors fine-tune books meant to inspire and empower readers to understand themselves, tackle personal problems, get healthier, nurture relationships, enjoy life more, or protect the planet.

● I'm a successfully published nonfiction author. I wrote five inspirational books focused on helping teen girls build self-esteem. Of these, The Girls' Guide to Life was a San Francisco Chronicle bestseller and The Girls' Book of Wisdom, won awards from the American Library Association and Disney Adventures.

● As an editor at a small publisher, I created mass-market guides including The Recycler’s Handbook, The Women’s Voting Guide, and Kid Heroes of the Environment.

● I've been a copywriter, developmental editor, and copy editor in the corporate world for more than three decades, working at HP and Google, among other companies.

Note: my editing rates are somewhat higher than Reedsy's noted averages (for example, .047/word for a recent developmental edit). If that would work with your budget, I'd love to hear about your book.

Thank you for considering me as your prospective developmental editor or copy editor (or both) for your nonfiction manuscript. I hope your book will be an amazing success!
