Flannery Wise – Editor

I have always been passionate about helping writers find the best words to express their ideas. In my 5 years in the publishing industry, I have worked with both trade and academic authors from pitch to publication to bring their books into being. While at BHC Press, I assessed, edited, and proofread full-length fiction manuscripts. As an Editorial Associate at the University of Michigan Press specializing in the humanities, I assessed and reviewed proposals, created cover copy, and strengthened projects. The opportunity to work directly with clients as a freelancer with Cambridge Proofreading has helped me develop the ability to give constructive feedback that is both effective and specific to the individual's needs.

In fiction, I specialize in historical fiction and YA fantasy. In non-fiction projects, I'm passionate about all forms of entertainment, and I have extensive experience in the humanities and social sciences, primarily in film, history, music, fashion, and politics. When editing, I focus on preserving the author's vision and voice while helping them make their work the best it can be. I'm a deadline-driven, detail-obsessed, self-described book nerd who loves to be immersed in different subjects and perspectives, and I want to use my experience to continue bringing new, exciting books to the shelves.
