Dickye Wilson – Editor

I have edited both international bestselling authors as well as first-time authors! I want you to succeed!

Overview

Hello, Future Bestseller!

Welcome to my profile, and welcome to my world! It took you long enough to get here, but the important thing is you're here now!

You are among some of the people on this planet I truly admire the most. You have created all these wonderful, interesting, lovable, and maybe not so lovable, characters running around in your head, itching for you to bring them to life on paper! I would so love to help you do just that!

You have devoted weeks, months, maybe even years into your manuscript and you've finally done your part! Now and then you had doubts about whether you'd ever finish it. But you did. What a relief! Now, however, you have to hand it over to someone else, someone you don't even know, and someone who hasn't devoted their every free minute into making it just right, just the way you want it.

The editor you pick should care just as much for your story, its settings, and its characters as you do. They should also share your goal of success. After all, if you succeed your editor is a success as well!

That's where I come into the picture.

I want to partner with you to bring your story to life because I want you to succeed!

So, let's get down to the business of making you a bestselling author.

Allow me to introduce myself!

My name is Dickye and I have been an editor for nine years. I completed my internship with Hellbound Books Publishing in 2017 where I still work today editing dark fiction.

I have also worked for Champagne Books Publishing where I edited romance with many different sub genres.

I work as a freelance editor as well, having aided many first-time authors who have gone on to publish in their respective genres as well as international bestselling authors who were looking to take their writing to the next level!

I have plenty of experience editing contemporary fiction, and young adult titles as well.

I am new to Reedsy and excited to work with some of the best authors in the business, and especially you first-time authors. Your success will be my success, and I will be your biggest cheerleader and with you every step of the way.

So please reach out day or night.

I can't wait to work with you!
