Jeremie Ruby-Strauss – Editor

Offers three decades of nonfiction experience in Big Five publishing, including thirty-seven NYT bestsellers, with five hitting #1.

Overview

You can work with Tiffany Haddish's editor! More of a Motley Crue fan? Got you covered! Or maybe Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is your speed, or Laura Clery, or Carmelo Anthony? Still got you! And that's just memoir. If you're writing in the New Age space, let's get you to the level of Lisa Williams, Tyler Henry, and Matt Fraser. If it's diet/fitness, let's give your manuscript the Joe Manganiello treatment. If it's sex/relationships, we'll aim for Lisa Rinna and Dr. Ian Kerner. Since 1995, I've edited bestselling nonfiction in memoir, humor, diet/fitness, New Age, and sex/relationships for Simon & Schuster, Random House, and HarperCollins.


I enjoy working with authors from all backgrounds and polishing their writing into gems. Every author's needs are unique, so I adapt my style to serve them best. Whether you are looking for gentle line-editing suggestions for clarity, economy of language, and sprucing up--or a total structural overhaul, or doctoring from a rough draft to a final manuscript, or anything in-between--I'm here to help, in the way *you* want to be helped.

Wow! Jeremie is simply fantastic—a professional in the truest sense of the word. I worked with several editors before coming to Jeremie, and couldn't be happier that our path's have crossed.

Jeremie's logic and organization skills are exactly what my first nonfiction book needed. "Your Healing is a Song presents a new healing modality with an emphasis on autonomous healing and the importance of music to the emotional body. He helped me organize these ideas systematically, which brought the most important idea into sharp focus and helped the story flow. I will absolutely hire Jeremi...

Thoughtful, objective, and understands how dynamic storytelling can be. Very professional, prompt, and provided helpful comments on my short story. We met and discussed the notes, along with some general industry inquiries I had - and this chat was super helpful. Would definitely work with Jeremie again.
