Courtenay Dodds

Courtenay Dodds – Editor

Developmental, substantive and line editor, I work with Independent and Self-Published Authors.

Overview

As a writer, reader, and editor, I have decades of experience working with people in a wide number of industries, from the more traditional - publishing and graphic design - to the more outlandish – road side rug salesmen and traveling artists. My extensive business background enables me to offer budding novelists and story tellers a professional experience with the encouragement and thoughtfulness of someone who’s been in their shoes. I work from my home in New Hampshire where I do freelance editing, write fiction and dabble in backyard farming.
