Melody D. – Editor

I am the award-winning author of five traditionally published books and I've worked as an editor for several years at two traditional publishing houses. During the last decade, I've edited over 400 books. The books I have edited that are now on Amazon, all have 4 and 5-star ratings.

While I point out what needs improvement in a tactful and professional way, I will also show you the many ways you are already shining. I look forward to helping you make your book the best it can be!

FYI - I DO NOT REVIEW HORROR, EROTICA, OCCULT, or anything overly dark. Proofreading will be done after the manuscript has been copy-edited. I ONLY PERFORM QUERY LETTER REVIEWS IF I AM ALREADY PERFORMING A DEVELOPMENTAL EDIT OR EDITORIAL ASSESSMENT.

Thanks! :)
