Self-employed
At Writing That Hits the Mark, I help innovators in different fields develop the books, blogs, and other media platforms that build their brand. I specialize in developmental editing across a range of media, and in nonfiction book proposal writing. I am very skilled at helping organizations determine how to plan content to engage the different "sub-groups" within the larger target audience. I also excel at helping authors organize their material and create the "through-line" that makes the blog, article, or book a smooth read from start to finish.
► Positioned client’s self-published book, a 1st in the field of postnatal care for mothers, won the “Mom’s Choice Award” from an international organization that reviews thousands of submissions from 55 countries.
Running Press Book Publishers
I proposed, developed, and edited trade books, and instrumentally contributed to executive team’s selection of manuscripts to acquire. Additionally, I collaborated with outside authors, as well as in-house designers and production staff.
► Edited “front of the catalogue” titles, including projects with celebrity authors such as Stephen Hawking and James Watson.
► Developed trade books that generated $2.5M in net sales in 1 year, outperforming 2 senior acquisition and development editors.
