Susan Bruck – Editor

As an editor, I love polishing books to make the author's words shine and through indexing, I make them easily accessible to readers.

Overview

I'm an indexer and editor who loves to help others bring their books into the world. I write and illustrate my own books, too. As a former lawyer, I specialize in law-related books. But as a long-time Waldorf teacher, I also have a lot of experience and interest in books related to education. I do quite a bit of work with the publication branch of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America. And I'm interested in all sorts of topic. I've indexed books on topics ranging from gardening to international politics.

In addition to law and education, I've also studied herbal medicine, meditation, and art.

I'm easy to work with, timely, and committed to helping you create the best version of your book.

Susan made editing my first book so easy. She was super responsive and open to support with anything I needed. Her feedback was helpful, clear, and full of wonderful suggestions. I am going to miss talking to her about my project.

Once I promised Susan that I would knock on her door one day to meet her in person. Recalling the first moments before of our collaboration, 3 things stuck me while browsing the offers and then haunted me throughout the whole job . Susan left me in no doubt that she wanted this job, that she wanted my book. This mental approach 'took it all' practically everything and provided a great basis f...
