Emily Murdock Baker – Editor

After three years in Hollywood and seven years at Penguin Random House, I left to go out on my own in 2016 because my favorite part of my job has always been working directly with writers to improve their work. Now that's 90% of my work time, and I don't miss sitting in meetings at all (though I do miss office baked goods).

I've spent my entire professional career working with creatives. I'm also married to a writer and am a writer myself, so I know what it's like to be on the other side of edits! I'm a compassionate editor who will point out the problems in your manuscript and help you brainstorm ways to solve them.

I can help you get your project to the next level, whatever that means for you.

Although mysteries, historical fiction, and narrative nonfiction are mainly what I work on, I love variety. I've also edited screenplays, parenting books, romance, a cocktail book, and a family memoir with over 100 photos!
