Grace Labatt Parazzoli – Editor

When editing, I work with authors on structure, clarity, tone, narrative progression, grammar, and style. I copyedit for grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, word choice, and consistent style, querying anything that seems unclear or unintended. I also write about books for several publications.

I acquired and edited pop culture books, working closely with authors at every stage in the editorial process--from concept to final layouts. (I was an acquisitions editor from March 2011 to November 2012 and a senior acquisitions editor until March 2013.)

I acquired and developed trade and scholarly reference titles, including dictionaries, atlases, encyclopedias, and online products. (I was an editorial assistant from July 2007 to January 2009, an associate editor from January 2009 to October 2009, and an acquisitions editor from October 2009 to March 2011.)
