Faith Su

Faith Su – Editor

I have over 20 years experience in the publishing industry. I have art, production and editorial experience.

Overview

I'm currently working with nonfiction authors in the humanities and social science discipline, but I also read children's books, memoirs and mysteries, at my leisure. Picture books, YA books and Christian books are very welcome. I can advise on illustrations and galleys, as well as any plot points.

I have over 20 years experience in a variety of publishing companies and roles, and would be happy to collaborate with you on your book. I will not only proofread your story, but will be available to bounce ideas, catch any holes, provide insights and hopefully be the reader you want to target.

I’m certainly not going to pander to you, and say this is the best thing I’ve read, if it’s not. But on the other hand, everyone has a story to tell, you just have to tell it well. I know it’s frustrating getting attention, but your work will speak for itself. Does the quality of the work make a best-seller, or does savvy PR? Personally, I’ve picked up several best-sellers and thought, “what was the hype?” (Argue with me :P)

Faith demonstrates competence in her work and provides practical suggestions throughout the process. I would gladly recommend her for line editing. Additionally, I believe her fees are lower than the current market rate. Tom
