Lynn Post – Editor

Compelling stories have the power to change hearts, open minds, and build bridges instead of walls. As a developmental editor and book coach, I'm on a mission to help authors create and share stories that reflect the change that they want to see in the world and pursue their writing and publishing dreams with clarity, confidence & compassion.

Through the editing certificate program at the University of Washington, taught by seasoned veterans of the industry, I learned the professional editing methods of traditional publishing houses. Since 2014, I have provided freelance editing services to individual authors, publishing companies, nonprofit organizations, small businesses, and large corporations, including Alaska Airlines, Holland America, Mountaineers Books, becker&mayer!, Ashland Creek Press, and Girl Friday Productions. As a strong proponent of the indie market, I apply those same high standards and thorough processes whether working with self-publishing authors or those seeking traditional publication. I now exclusively work directly with writers, many of whom have successfully published their books and regularly return to collaborate on their next project.

I strive to provide honest feedback -- always with kindness and compassion -- along with constructive, actionable suggestions to make your manuscript as strong, effective, and enjoyable as possible, keeping industry standards and reader expectations in mind. In addition to developmental editing, editorial assessments, and book coaching, I also offer First Pages Reviews and consultations for those who are not ready to invest in a full manuscript review or who would like some guidance with navigating the (sometimes daunting) publishing process.

Thanks for your interest in my editorial services. I look forward to hearing your unique story and collaborating with you to help you achieve your writing and publishing goals!
