Sara Watkins – Editor

Hi, I'm Sara! I've helped publish books professionally since 2017, although I've been editing freelance for fun since 2010. I am an experienced Content Development Specialist (CDS) and Developmental Editor (DE) with a strong background-- my portfolio was largely made up of best-sellers and/or core front-list titles.

As a CDS and DE, there is no project too big or too small for me. Need line editing or stylistic help? I'm your lady. Having trouble wrangling the many moving pieces of your story into one coherent whole? That's what I'm here for. Trouble with meeting deadlines, figuring out your next steps, or anything else that may be hindering you in bringing your text to publication? Send me a message!

My expertise extends to all parts of the publication process including working directly with authors/contributors/publishers, managing deadlines and submission, developing manuscripts for quality and key standards, facilitating art or illustrations, incorporating multimedia, and overseeing production.

I'm skilled at ensuring your project meets or exceeds your goals, adheres to all applicable laws, and is properly optimized for print or electronic publication.

If you are interested in my services, don't hesitate to reach out!
