Overview
Get more than just an editor on your manuscript. Work with a former Editor in Chief who understands the entire book development process so you publish a book that matters and is memorable.
As a former Editor-in-Chief of a publishing company with multiple imprints (including Shell Education), I have 15 years of expertise in nonfiction professional books. From strategic positioning and developmental editing that gives books a simple, memorable message to thorough proofreading that shows the author as a true professional, I've been through this process with hundreds of manuscripts.
SPECIALTIES:
*education
*consultants
*speakers, presenters, trainers
*professional coaching & training
*professional service providers
Experts partner with me to share their knowledge with their audience. We're a great fit if you are writing a book to:
*reflect your content as an accomplished speaker, trainer, etc.
*make your mark as an expert
*establish your thought leadership
*create anchor content for your business marketing & communications
*to encapsulate the core knowledge in your programs or services
As an expert, you want your nonfiction content to stand out in your industry. My superpower is making your content clear, cohesive, and actionable for your readers. Having coached hundreds of authors through the editorial process, my approach with authors is simple:
1) Clarify your goals for book. You'll deepen your understanding during a production launch session.
2) Get clear on your big message and simple structure. A competitive analysis and bookmap can help.
3) Ensure the content is clear, well organized, and easy to read. You get a developmental editing summary and Track Changes in your manuscript.
4) Polish your content for print, with thorough copyediting and proofreading in Track Changes according to your choice of style guide.
Get the support you want, wherever you are in the process:
*We can work together on one or more parts.
*Or, we can roll up our sleeves and partner to create your entire book.
I look forward to learning about you!
