Lindsay Graham

Lindsay Graham – Editor

I am a developmental editor with a passion for fiction. I love working closely with authors and publishers to bring great stories to life.

Overview

I am a graduate of the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop, and I have worked professionally as a writer and editor for over a decade. I am an experienced writer/editor, and I have worked on projects in a wide variety of industries. Fiction is my passion though, and I am skilled at developmental and line editing of both short and long book projects. In long projects, I am attentive to large issues such as plot development, character development, voice, and pacing as well as smaller issues such as tone, dialogue, and diction. In short projects I am also attentive to elements such as imagery, diction and economy of language. In any project, I try to help an author reach the desired audience in the most effective way possible. I am skilled at communicating with authors in a positive, honest manner, and I am always willing to communicate with an author as much as is necessary. Finally, I am able to produce content under tight deadlines.
