Emily Hatesohl – Editor

Copy editor with ten years of experience editing religious books, memoirs, academic texts, and children's books for two major publishers

Overview

I have ten years of editing experience, a master's degree in English composition, and a passion for making your writing the best it can be. I have edited everything from children's books to scholarly journals, business books to human interest books, quarterly magazines to blog posts. I have edited for Concordia Publishing House for ten years and have freelanced for Rowman & Littlefield for two years.

I love collaborating with authors on their projects. I'll make sure to keep your voice while polishing any rough patches. I tend to ask plenty of questions and let you know what I'm doing along the way. I am an obsessive fact-checker, grammar nerd, and self-proclaimed punctuation queen. My education level and work experience have prepared me to take a job and run with it, giving you back a polished product. I'm easy to work with and happy to help!
