Melissa Drumm – Editor

I'm an experienced cookbook editor and copy editor with a master’s in gastronomy from Boston University. I spent five years as a cookbook editor at America’s Test Kitchen, where I edited over a dozen cookbooks, including several health- and diet-focused books and the IACP award–winning compilation Revolutionary Recipes. I’ve copyedited books for various publishers in Massachusetts and beyond; I’ve also managed, edited, and written for a publishing company blog, during which time I learned SEO and content management.

I have done developmental editing, copy editing, and proofreading, so I know better than most that everyone needs an editor (even an editor). No matter what I'm doing, I take pride in elevating—not changing—authors’ voices.
