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.
"To my editor, we share a similar sense of humor and of life. I chose her out of hundreds, thus confirming one of the most important lessons I teach in this book, to always believe in your intuition. Your collaboration helped bring this incredibly life–changing and relevant book to fruition." -- Taylor Sterling, author, I Love You. . .Goodbye
"It was a fortuitous pleasure to engage Madalyn as my editor for my nonfiction book. I was looking for someone who had a feel for my genre. Madalyn delivered in spades. She provided me with terrific suggestions and was very timely. I highly recommend her. You will be pleased." -- Carol Merlo, author of How to Create a Happy Business
