Rebecca Bohanan – Editor

"I've worked with Rebecca on multiple projects across my writing career and keep coming back to her because of her editorial judgment, her insight and her knack for making passages pop. Before I sold my novel H.E.A.R., Rebecca did an editorial pass on it, helping me fine tune my characters and sharpen the plot. I have no doubt her assistance was instrumental in my selling the book. More recently, she helped me turn my first novel, Shaking Her Assets, into a webtoon. A master of the form, Rebecca guided me through the adaptation process, turning my book into an app-based graphic novel. Whenever I have a project I care about, I want Rebecca's eyes on it. She a true pro, a kind person and I can't recommend her highly enough!"--Robin Epstein

"If you're looking for a supportive editor with a keen eye for detail, look no further than Rebecca. She helped me find new life in a piece I had given up on and, after a few rounds of suggestions, I got my first 'yes' from the editor of a reputable magazine."--Gregory Zilboorg

If you've got a funny novel, witty comic, or something in-between, I'd love to edit it for you! I was an editor at MAD Magazine, and I specialize in developmental editing — I even teach the Developmental Editing course at the UCLA Extension Writers' Program. I've produced and edited comics for my 9 to 5 gig, and have edited YA fiction freelance. I enjoy working on short stories and personal essays as well, and had my own New York Times' Modern Love essay published ("A Man and Meals Worth Losing Sleep Over"). I'd love to edit yours before submission! Additionally, I've worked for Zagat and TripAdvisor, and can copy edit food and travel guides.

My goal is to help writers create enduring characters, raise their stakes, and plot their ... well, plot. I'm also great at untangling story timeline issues, auditioning different story structures, and keeping a steady storytelling pace.
