Tee Tate

Tee Tate – Editor

Experienced in-house and freelance editor specializing in speculative, contemporary, and romance by both bestsellers and new writers.

Overview

With over a decade of experience as a freelance and in-house editor, I've honed the ability to spot a writer's strengths and transform a story from "interesting" to "can't-put-it-down." I've enjoyed working with everyone from up-and-coming writers to New York Times bestselling authors, RITA winners (Carolyn Crane), USA Today bestsellers (Chelle Bliss), and self-publishing sensations.


While speculative fiction is my first love, I’m here to help anyone at any stage of their publishing journey. Armed with a Master of Arts in English and a passion for great stories, I'm ready to refine your manuscript, no matter what you're in the market for - query letters, developmental edits, or anything in between. So, whether it's crafting the perfect manuscript or polishing that query letter, I’m here to help you take your work to the next level.
