Overview
With over 14 years of experience in the publishing industry, I am a versatile and accomplished editor and writer who has worked with and coached over 70 authors, including best-selling authors T.S. Joyce, Juliette Cross, Lori Matthews, and John Ellsworth. I have edited over 250 books of all genres, with a focus on romance novels. I have also published my own novels under the pen names Cd Brennan and Cori de Maag.
I think one of my author's testimonials says it all when it comes to my style of editing. You might have to put in some hard yards, but you'll come away with a book you are proud of, a book your readers will enjoy. “I always hoped I’d find an editor who would not only help me improve my story, but who would also help me hone my craft as a writer. I had no idea I would receive just that and more in Corinne. She is meticulous, clever, patient, and professional. I can honestly say that she elevates my stories to a level I could not reach on my own. And I feel fortunate to call her my editor and my friend.” – Juliette Cross
