John Brantingham – Editor

As a creative writing professor at Mt. San Antonio College, I helped hundreds of people to get their first publications and many to publish their books. I specialized in working closely with people who wanted to learn not just the craft but the business too. Working with me is a low-stress experience. I understand how to give help that is critical but not insulting or biting. My passion is breaking down the barriers that keep people from publishing their work widely and well. I work one-on-one with people who want me to do so and to give others the distance they need.

As a book editor, I will start with a Zoom consultation and work closely with you to develop your work. I will meet with you weekly to discuss the edits I am making and help to coach you through the process. I am a long-time educator so I specialize in talking with you about the work that I am doing and helping you to understand how you can improve your work.

Let's talk about your publishing goals in the literary fiction, memoir, and poetry world!
