Overview
I am a professional editor with over 25 years experience in the publishing field. I've edited all kinds of books from fiction to nonfiction including textbooks (and recently a book published by Cambridge University Press [USA], Yea! Alabama). I specialize in editing nonfiction books of all types, especially personal memoirs, self-help books, religious books, and business books. I can make any book better or will die trying! Please see my testimonials from happy author clients below. Most of the books I have worked on have been either self-published or traditionally published. I am often mentioned in the Acknowledgment sections and the copyright pages as the editor. And never fear, I am an expert at leaving your unique voice intact. This is your book, not mine. My sole function is to make YOUR book better.
