Neil Martinez-Belkin

Neil Martinez-Belkin – Editor

Three-time New York Times-bestselling author specializing in celebrity memoirs and autobiographies.

Overview

You have the good story and I know how to tell a good story. So we sit down, put those two things together and Voilà! You've got a book. Ok maybe it's not quite that simple.

I consider myself a strong writer and a very strong editor. Somewhere along the way I've also become a pretty good project manager. I've got a few bestsellers under my belt and a proven track record of successfully overseeing editorial projects from initial conception to publication. If you think my services could be of value to your project, reach out and let's see if it's a good fit. I'm looking forward to it.

Served as key liason and dot-connector between celebrity author, publisher, and other related third parties (lawyers, publicists, record label executives, etc.), ensuring project alignment and timely delivery.
