Gina Sorell – Editor

I've been where you are. I've looked for an agent, been published by an indie press and also published by one of The Big Five. I've had manuscripts rejected and fought over, and know that through all of it the only thing we can control is the work. Which is why putting your work forward is crucial. But it doesn't have to be scary or dispiriting—it can be exciting and collaborative. Let's work together to make your manuscript the best it can be before it goes out into the world!

Praise:

"An Author to Watch" (Globe and Mail)

"Sorell knows her stuff" (The Toronto Star),

"Riveting" (Good Housekeeping)

"A Best Book Pick of 2017" (Refinery 29)

"A Great Group Reads" (Women's National Book Association).

Testimonials:

"Every writer needs a developmental editor--you cannot do it yourself. And that is why I cannot imagine writing a book without the help of Gina Sorell. She's been with me for my last three novels, two of them which were New York Times Bestsellers. Gina worked with me from synopsis to first, second and third draft. She found things I never would have seen, and deepened the writing until it shone."

-Caroline Leavitt, New York Times Bestselling author of Pictures of You, Is This Tomorrow, and Cruel Beautiful World

"I met Gina Sorell when we were both students in a novel writing class at the UCLA Extension Writer’s Program. In class, I remember being immediately drawn to Gina’s insight and story perspective on the work I submitted for workshop. Not only my stories, but other students work as well. I knew then that I wanted to keep in touch with Gina and continue to work with her. We have. Over the past several years, Gina has edited my work for live readings and has copy edited my work for print. She has been an invaluable resource for my writing and is a valuable resource to any writer looking for a keen eye for detail and story. For these reasons, I highly recommend Gina Sorell."

-Natashia Deon, Author of GRACE, Counterpoint Press, PEN Emerging Voices Fellow and Pushcart Prize Nominee​

"I call Gina Sorell a 'plotmaster' because of the ideas that spring effortlessly from her head. When faced with a problem, her close reading of the work will mean she is in a position to suggest a range of solutions. Speaking with her is enormously energizing, as anyone who has dealt with her can attest. Her imagination and experience will improve your work."

-Author, Eric Rubin, author of SCHOOL OF VELOCITY, Doubleday.
