Sally Hanan – Editor

I line edit, copyedit, and proofread Christian fiction and nonfiction and have helped authors polish their manuscripts since 2007. I am a member of the Christian Editor Connection (CEC), Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), and Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi).

My list of best-selling clients includes Shawn Bolz, Jerame Nelson, Bill Vanderbush, and Alexis Maston-McClinton. I've worked for Charisma House and am a current freelance editor with Founders Ministries.

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, Christian Writer's Manual of Style, and Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, along with other guides, should the genre require them.

Most of the books I have edited over the last eighteen 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 will help you polish a book you can be proud of.

Testimonial - 5 stars

Sally was recommended to me, and she was an answer to prayer! Working with Sally is always a pleasure. She is critical of details with is so important with an editor. Sometimes she questions my work, which is a very good thing. She is a fantastic line editor. I know that by the time she has critiqued and polished my words, they are good to go.

Sally is also highly organized. One time I lost something in the recesses of my computer, but she had it! I would highly recommend Sally to any other author. I am looking forward to working with her in the future.
