Paul Thayer – Editor

I am a freelance book editor and writing coach specializing in line editing and critiques of fiction and nonfiction books. I most enjoy working on mystery, suspense, thrillers, crime, and historical novels, but I have also edited sci-fi, fantasy, YA, and romance. Along with being an editor, I am a teacher, mentor, and a budding writer's best friend. I have been in the writing, editing, and publishing business for more than 30 years. I have been a full-time book editor since 1997. I can give you references from professional book editors, and I would be glad to send you samples of my work and provide you with testimonials. I am easy to get along with, sensitive to the needs of aspiring writers, and a purveyor of humor. Laughter, as they say, is the best medicine, even when you are struggling with writer's block.
