Overview
My list of clients includes Shawn Bolz, Jerame Nelson, Bill Vanderbush, and Alexis Maston-McClinton. Publishers and businesses I've worked for include Charisma Media, Orange & Gray, and HomeGuide.
I edit authors' finished manuscripts twice—once in Word and once on paper. I find I catch more errors that way. I edit according to the latest Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, along with other guides, should the genre require them.
I also coach authors through the self-publishing journey, and I have many resources to connect them to when it comes to typesetting, cover design, ISBNs, and eBook formatting. Most of the books I have edited over the last six years have been nonfiction—in the business/entrepreneur and Christian genres--but I love reading and editing women's fiction too.
An author of fiction and nonfiction myself, I have also experienced the author's side of self-publishing and will help you produce a book you can be proud of.
