Isabel Stein – Editor

You’ve worked hard on your project, but perhaps you have reached a certain plateau. Now you sense that it is time for help from another party, even if you are not sure exactly what kind of help you need. That’s perfectly normal. If you read the acknowledgments page of any published work, you’ll see that creating a book usually involves a team effort, maybe your friends and family at the start, and then some experienced editors, proofreaders, and perhaps even agents or marketing people. I am an editor and proofreader with many years of experience. I worked for 16 years in-house at a trade publisher (Sterling Publishing Co.) and at other publishers, and I know what editors are looking at from that side of the desk. I’ve edited crafts, DIY, children’s science books and picture books, gardening books and cookbooks for Sterling Publishing and other publishers. I have edited fiction books for Hachette Book Group, Ballantine Books, and Sterling Publishing Co. I also have edited scholarly books for Cambridge University Press, Taylor & Francis, and Palgrave Macmillan. I have proofread books for Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, and others. Please contact me if you need help with your project. I'll be glad to look it over.
