Overview
How can a professional editor help you convey your messages?
For 25+ years, I have served as copy editor and proofreader on books from such publishers as Penguin, Ballantine, Penguin, and Adams Media, and by independently published authors. I see my role as helping you strengthen your manuscript and eliminate any typos, inconsistencies, grammatical mistakes, and style issues that may interfere with your book's impact.
I'm experienced with books in all genres. Nonfiction and fiction are welcome, and personal health, career, medical, and parenting books are my focus.
It will be my pleasure to gently guide you through the editorial process, smooth out any rough spots, and answer any questions you may have about the publishing process. I respect authors at all experience levels, and I consider myself to be an advocate and ally.
To engage me as a developmental editor or as a book coach, you will need to have a first draft of your manuscript.
Developmental editor means helping you shape what you've already written. Book coaching refers to guiding you through the publishing process. In my experience, self-publishing is the best route for nearly all authors to pursue.
If your manuscript is incomplete and it doesn't have a title yet, then you are in need of a ghostwriter to help you conceptualize, outline, and write your book. For the right project, I would be pleased to be considered as your ghostwriter.
Would you like to meet the person behind the profile? We can arrange a video call and talk about your book. I'll answer any questions you may have.
