Rachel Kambury – Editor

I am an editor and ghostwriter based in New York City. With two years publishing industry experience and over six years editorial and ghostwriting experience, I currently work at Twelve Books, a prestige, boutique publisher of bestselling political, historical, and current events-related non-fiction. I have considerable experience editing war and military fiction and non-fiction, history, memoir, "idea" books, and more.

I am available to assist with everything from book proposals to almost-finished manuscripts. I am thorough, attentive, flexible, and I love a good Pilot G-TEC C-4 fine-point pen. In red, obviously.

Publishing can be a brutal process, but it doesn't have to be. All you need is some deft maneuvering, a solid proposal/manuscript/query letter, patience, and gumption. I've worked with hardened pros and nervous newbies alike, and I love working with them and everyone in between.

PRAISE FOR RACHEL:

"Rachel, please run for high office!"

"One of the best partners you could ever ask for in publishing."

"My god, if I was running a publishing company, I’d hire you immediately based on your carefully considered insights and eloquent writing."

"You’re the kind of editor I really work best with: someone who makes suggestions without trying to rewrite the book yourself."

"Rachel really helped me understand the publishing process."

"I couldn't have asked for a better (or nicer) editor."
