Danielle Collins – Editor

I'm an editor, copyeditor, and proofreader with experience working at trade, independent, and academic publishing houses. I currently work with picture books and middle grade novels on an editorial team at Simon & Schuster. Previously, at Sourcebooks, I worked with adult fiction titles ranging from psychological thrillers to historical fiction. At Yale University Press, I worked with biographies for the Jewish Lives series, as well as academic monographs in the subjects of religion, classics, and literature. I have also served as an editor for online platforms, including editing fiction and creative nonfiction pieces at a literary magazine and journalistic blog posts for a university blog.

As an editor, I'm here to make your writing the best it can be without compromising your voice or style. It's your work, after all! Working with everything from novels to picture books to monographs has given me the skills to edit on a line-by-line basis and give broader developmental edits. If you'd like feedback on your project as a whole, I can provide recommendations for plot, structure, and clarity. If you're looking to get into the nitty gritty details, I can copyedit and/or proofread manuscripts for grammar, syntax, and style. I'd love to be a part of your next project!
