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)

Definitely would work with her again. Her honesty and integrity in her work made me better as a writer and pushed me to not only think about how I want to write the story but also about how the re...

Faith was very clear on the work she would be providing and gave strong feedback on my manuscript. She knew how important this project was to me and her critiques made me feel like she wanted the best for the project as well. When working on a project that is very personal it's comforting knowing you have an editor on your side.
