Rob Casserly – Editor

As authors, we like working alone. We flinch at giving up any creative control. You get a better end result, however, when you delegate to people who, within their area, really know what they are doing. Writing may be solitary, but publishing is collaborative.

I do not use AI. I am proudly old-school. I will read your manuscript all the way through before I begin to work on it. This will help me understand what your story is all about, and to understand your particular style of writing. Then I’ll read your manuscript again, sentence by sentence, page by page, proofing as I go. No shortcuts.

I only accept one freelance project at a time, so I can focus on it and give it the attention it deserves. Also, it means I can finish studying your manuscript sooner.

If you ask five Reedsy editors for a quote I probably will not be the cheapest. I probably won’t be the most expensive, either. I like to aim for the sweet spot where good value meets high quality.

If you are an author from a country other than the U.S., or if English is not your first language, please note that I excel at Americanizing manuscripts in a sensitive and judicious manner. I will strive to preserve your unique vision, voice, and style while improving the story's readability for U.S. audiences.

As an Americanization specialist, I have worked with bestselling and award-winning authors like Sally Page, Minette Walters, Sara Foster, Marc-Uwe Kling, Anthony Ryan, James Phelan, John Higgs, Marceau Miller, and many more.

Please let me know if you are seeking to publish for the first time. I especially love helping debut authors break through, and may, at my sole discretion, offer you a substantial discount.

Looking for something else? I am open to all queries and have a wide range of editorial skills, so please do not hesitate to contact me. I respond to all queries, and if we decide I am not the best editor for your project, I will do my level best to point you in the right direction.
