Overview
For the last 23 years of my editorial career, which spans three decades and includes seven years of editorial management, I have worked as a freelance editor and writer. During that time, I've edited 160+ books in a wide range of genres, including 40 volumes of the best-selling Cup of Comfort series, and I've ghostwritten/written several nonfiction books, including the bestseller One Simple Idea (McGraw-Hill).
After a hiatus in 2022 to care for my elderly mother, who recently passed away, I currently offer copyediting and proofreading services to both fiction and nonfiction authors. As my work schedule allows, I also offer editorial assessments and developmental editing to nonfiction authors.

Reply from Colleen Sell
Colleen is a wealth of editorial experience and constantly learning. She brings a keen editorial eye not only to structure but to the finer details of phrasing. She is effective at challenging authors as well, when that's required and even cites research to educate them. I'm convinced I'm a better a writer now for having worked with her.
Can't recommend her highly enough!
