Tanya Grenier - Editor

Writing is hard.
I know - I started writing the moment I could hold a pencil. Well, a crayon. In fact, my baby book shows that my favorite toy was a book...when I was a baby! Reading was my first love. It prepared me for many losses, traumas, and, well, love. It comes as no surprise that I decided to complete my first degree in Literature and Communications. That program forced me to take creative writing classes, which is when I discovered my passion for editing and proofreading.

About 13 years ago, I started freelancing as a proofreader. Back then, freelancing wasn't as popular as it is now. I was reviewing and editing novels for just $5. Still, I was doing what I loved. Currently, I work with many bestselling authors on Amazon. I especially like working with first-time authors. It's hard to find your voice and decide what you want to say, which is why I'm here.

I've worked with many companies and publishers, including Penguin, Scholastic, and Harper Collins. Most commonly, authors want line editing, developmental editing, and proofreading. I provide all of this, along with a brief of up to 4 pages that reviews how you can improve both your writing and the overall book. I have an ongoing contract with a non-fiction publisher in Australia. I edit around 10 books per week for them. I've also worked as a translator. I'm perfectly bilingual (English, French) and am fluent in German.

Thrillers, romance, memoirs, contemporary classics, and fantasy... I've done it all. I have the perfect blend of professional and personal experience to make your work its absolute best. I sincerely hope we get the chance to work together. If not, I wish you the absolute best of days.
