Eddy Hall – Editor

I love to work with Christian non-fiction authors who have ideas the world needs to hear, but who need help creating an engaging, ready-to-publish manuscript. I can help you "hook" your readers, energize your storytelling, unearth just the right story to make you point (especially when you think that story doesn't exist), make the structure of your book flow seamlessly, and help your prose sparkle with clarity and brevity. I do as-told-to writing, but not blind ghosting. (A good example of my as-told-to writing is WITH JUSTICE FOR ALL by John Perkins, Regal.)I am a tough but encouraging editor. I usually ask writers to do a good bit of new writing and rewriting. If you're just looking for light copyediting, I'm not your guy. While I work with many kinds of Christian non-fiction, I have a special love for books for Christian leaders. I am a pastor and for 24 years I led a church consulting team (Living Stones Associates) that helps churches throughout the US and Canada with strategic planning and leadership development. I have many years experience coaching pastors.On book-length projects, I begin with a manuscript assessment which consists of quick mark-up, strengths of each chapter, and work needed for each chapter, including additional work to be done by the author. After the assessment, the author decides whether to continue to work with me to complete the project. I am a collaborator at heart. I enjoy collaborating with authors even more than writing my own books. I find that the shape of my collaboration with each author is unique. It usually takes a few chapters into the revision process to discover the optimum teamwork dynamics.
