Overview
I am a published author with over twenty-five years of academic publishing experience. I’m skilled in editorial, and I am uniquely qualified, as in addition to my publishing experience, I am also a well-reviewed published nonfiction author, (Bee People And The Bugs They Love). I am one of the few people that has sat on both sides of the table, which means that I have more experience to share with you!
My experience is nonfiction and I have mostly worked on academic and scholarly works. I have worked with many a college professor and academics, helping them develop and edit their work. I would be thrilled to help you develop your project and help you market it to the world.
