Fiona Hallowell – Editor

Between 2000 and 2010, and again, currently, I have offered expert freelance editorial services including manuscript evaluation, developmental and line editing and proofreading. I’m always thrilled when I can help a writer bring out their best work, and I give equal consideration to both traditionally published and independently published authors.

As a Senior Editor at Reader's Digest I acquired and edited nonfiction titles with the purpose of informing, inspiring, and simplifying. Titles included The Kindness Diaries, Singing to a Bulldog, The Ultimate Book of Vegetables, Easy Fixes for Everyday Things, 1801 Home Remedies, The Dumb Book, Funny Family Jokes, Welcome Home Mama and Boris, 13 Things Rich People Won’t Tell You, Stories in Uniform.

As an editor at HarperCollins, I acquired the New York Times bestsellers, Amazing Grace by Jonathan Kozol and Downsize This! by Michael Moore. Edited Adventures in a TV Nation by Michael Moore and Kathleen Glynn; How to Get Married After 35, by Helena Hacker Rosenberg; Ready, Okay! by Adam Cadre; My First Cousin Once Removed by Sarah Payne Stuart; Towns Without Rivers by Michael Parker and The House of Forgetting by Benjamin Alire Saenz.
