Nikki Ioakimedes – Editor

Hello! I specialize in travel, practical how-to guides, and other nonfiction. I’ve acquired and shaped best-selling titles including Moon USA National Parks, and edited dozens of travel and hiking/outdoors guides, including the award-winning Moon US Civil Rights Trail. I’m passionate about authentic travel experiences as well as ethical/sustainable travel.

As an editor at Westview Press, I developed new and revised editions on the Women’s Studies list.

I have extensive experience editing and proofreading highly visual books, including titles with 150+ maps and 300+ captioned photos.

My editorial strengths include instilling books with a sense of place and feeling. I help authors shape their narratives and polish their prose so that their books have a page-turning quality and readers feel transported.
