Tanya Brockett - Editor

I help authors, experts, and entrepreneurs to boost brands and enhance credibility by publishing quality, nonfiction books. I do this by joyfully providing copyediting, ghostwriting, training, and mentoring through the publishing process. I am an editorial professional with over twenty-five years of experience working with first-time and experienced authors, non-profits, corporations, and small businesses, in both traditional and independent (self) publishing settings.

I have helped hundreds of authors (many of whom are best sellers) and reviewed millions of pages of prose over nearly two decades working in direct author services. I have reviewed and written hundreds of business plans, grant proposals, blog posts, websites, and marketing materials for businesses and entrepreneurs. My first published book (The Loan Solution, Kaizen Publication, 2007) helped me to secure a nomination by the US Small Business Administration as a financial services advocate of the year. Since then, I have edited/written several books for first-time business authors needing credibility and exposure. Fortune 100 executives, speakers, consultants, and business professionals are regularly among my clients.

I also attract inspiring authors in the self-help, personal development, and mind/body/spirit genres. What a joy! A few of my clients were featured in the movie and book, The Secret. As a certified Ho'oponopono practitioner and mentor, I inspire and educate my clients to complete their book projects with joyful anticipation. Positive energy creates positive results, and I help my clients to generate both.

Though most of my work is currently for book-length manuscripts, I also help with "content chunking" for my clients, which includes editing the content in their books for use in blog posts, social media content, and articles.

For Reedsy, my focus includes editing for emerging and experienced nonfiction authors who have a positive message to share with the world. Preferred topics include business, leadership, entrepreneurship, success, finance, self-help, mind/body/spirit, and positive, prescriptive memoir. I work with clients across the globe from my office in the Charlottesville, Virginia, USA area. (Recorded teleconference calls are quite common.) I received a BS in Commerce & MBA in two area schools where I have also taught (the University of Virginia and James Madison University).
