Overview
'Having Shannon as an editor made the publishing of my first book possible and painless. She’s an incredible resource who I highly recommend. ' Chris Kelley, Author.
'Shannon Evans is one of the best developmental editors I have ever worked with on a manuscript. Her depth of knowledge on what agents and publishers are looking for is invaluable. Her positive constructive feedback helped me turn a decent manuscript into one that was outstanding.' Patrick Snow, Author and Inspirational Speaker.
When it comes to choosing an editor for your manuscript, you will find no one more dedicated to your future publishing success. Whether your manuscript is 100 pages or 1000, I provide feedback that is tailored to help you make modifications and improvements that meet the current publishing standards.
I have written many "how to" books as well as various other non-fiction books. I have been a ghost writer and editor for over 20 years. I have edited and contributed to multiple anthologies and collections. I know how important good feedback is to the success of a manuscript.
I help my clients not only improve the strength of their manuscript but also ensure that it is well written and fully prepared for publication. Whether you are looking for basic editing, or substantial rewriting, I can tailor my services to suit your manuscript’s needs. Let me help guide you through every step of the editing process to ensure that your book is well written, meticulously edited, and prepared for publishing.
'I got a book proposal accepted by an academic publishing house and then immediately had a panic attack. I had no idea how to get this book finished much less ready for a major publisher. I called Shannon and she not only talked me out of my anxiety about the project, she gave me an actionable plan to make the project go smoothly. We worked together getting that manuscript done and polished. Without her I don't know if I could have met the ambitious publishing schedule. Now when I have a book idea I call and get on her schedule right away.' Dr. Genesis Johnson, Author and Lecturer
