Sara Riemersma – Editor

Passionate wordsmith excited to come alongside any creative or communicator to bring your message to life for the greatest readership. Seasoned Big-5 acquisitions and developmental editor known for positive and authentic author relations - perhaps I work best with those I care about personally. My expertise is in non-fiction and memoir. I am an avid fiction reader and closet editor of already printed manuscripts. My salaried days are full of Publisher manuscript reviews, proposal reviews, developmental and macro editing, and draft manuscript editing for additional publishing formats (gift/video/study/workbook). I know publishing intimately from query submission to acquisitions to production editing to cover design process all the way to prepress check and release day. I value the process of developing the text with each author because the reader hears the truth on each page. Take advantage of inside experience, and let's work together to make your work even better!Testimonials:Sara: Every writer should have an editor like you, the kind who encourages them to dig deep and keep going but who also isn't afraid to say, "Try again."
