Overview
Do you want to get published?
I just finished editing Soldier of Pride, a novel by Tossia Mitchell, which is now being released by World Castle Publishing. Another novel I edited, The Thunderbunny Chronicles, was also picked up by a traditional publisher.
However, my successful collaborations aren't limited to fiction. I edited African Dance with Passion by Kukuwa Kyereboah-Nuamah, which was released by Cognella Academic Publishing. And to reiterate, The President's Daughter, an award-winning memoir by Cecilia Perez-Matos, was just picked up by Harvard Square Editions.
To give you a glimpse into what it's like to work with me as an editor, here are some testimonials from a few of my clients:
"Tom is amazing! Both his skills and work ethic are exceptional. I would recommend Tom to anyone looking for editing/proofreading."
- Cecilia Perez-Matos, author of The President's Daughter
"I am glad I chose Tom Johnson to do my book project. He is great, efficient, attentive to detail, goes out his way with research needed for the project, and does not stop until the work is completed. I will definitely hire him again."
- Kukuwa Kyereboah-Nuamah, author of African Dance with Passion
"Many, many thanks to Tom for all of the book editing! I really appreciate all of his help and expertise. It was great working with him, and I look forward to working with him again in the future."
– Stephen Pinney, MD and author of How Hockey Can Save Healthcare
