Lisa Mullenneaux – Editor

Nothing I could tell you compares to the evidence: my 5-star reviews. Because I also wear an author's hat, I know the value of caring, constructive feedback. I offer developmental editing for fiction and nonfiction manuscripts and give 200% to my clients, with suggestions designed to get your words to the widest possible readership. With that in mind, I can also point you to a sympathetic agent who can guide you through the publication process.

Samples of the books I've edited are below. Some of my favorite recent projects are

* a widow's determined quest to seek justice for her husband's death

* the life-and-death stories of an Emergency Room doctor

* a principal's advice on how to create a student-friendly school

* tips and winning techniques from a world-class tennis coach

* a patient's guide to psychotherapy, and

* a children's adventure story with illustrations.

As diverse as these stories are, I have loved all of them and enjoyed collaborating with their authors to make them as compelling as possible for the widest number of readers.

I offer a video conference as part of our contract so you can respond to my suggestions for revision and ask any questions about next steps.

“I recently sought the services of Lisa M. for a thorough proofread of my latest novel and was extremely pleased with her work. Lisa charged a more-than-reasonable fee and delivered in a couple weeks. In addition to a spelling-and-grammar scan, she also suggested several editorial changes, which were very helpful. I can recommend her with total confidence and will definitely use her for the next book. Alan J. Paul, author of Mercy: The Devil is in the Details and Walrus: Monster in the Mist

Lisa is dependable, precise, and earnest.” Amy Kraizman, CUNY Graduate Center

“Lisa, you did an amazing job editing my dissertation. Your diligent and prompt responses made the writing process painless and enjoyable. Working those three years with you was such a wonderful and pleasant experience. You are not only an experienced editor but also knowledgeable in a range of topics. During the entire time, I felt like you were thoughtfully engaged in my own work. This made a huge impact on the writing and final manuscript. The stylesheet you created and your constant communication were of enormous help, and consequently, improved my writing skills.”
