Ty Love – Editor

Over a decade of publishing experience, 18 NYT Bestsellers, specializing in making the story on the page match the story in your head!

Overview

Hey there! My name's Ty.


I have worked for one of the top literary agencies in the US for nearly a decade, and in that time I've worked on many books, including eighteen New York Times Bestsellers and two Oprah Book Club Picks, for just about every major publisher you can think of. Now I freelance on Reedsy and have my own editorial company, Edge of August. I’ve assisted in story-building, outlining and structuring, developmental edits, editorial assessments, and final copy edits.


I have a true passion for all things fiction, but particularly sci-fi and fantasy genres.


I love books (surprise!) and I take anything that comes my way seriously, because there is always an opportunity to make it be the book you want it to be.


I really look forward to hearing from you and seeing what I can do to help.


Some words from publishing professionals I’ve worked with:


“Ty has an exceptional sense of the cultural moment, and he engages your book to speak into the reader’s market place. He knows how readers experience new ideas and stories -and he’ll help you like he helped me to find the way into the zeitgeist of our time. First he gets to know you, your vision, and your work, then he identifies the best pathways to tell your story to the world. If you want to reach people and be heard, Ty is your bridge.”

—Dr. Lisa Miller,

New York Times Bestselling author of The Awakened Brain and The Spiritual Child



“Ty is personable, organized, and a loyal supporter of his authors. Because he makes everyone around him feel comfortable and heard, he promotes an environment of honesty. Hard conversations about a book’s development are always easier when Ty is there to listen, strategize, and help.”

—Allyssa Fortunato

Book Publicity Director at Fortier PR



"Ty is an author’s secret weapon. I worked closely with him during the release of my first book, Chatter. Ty patiently and compassionately walked me through every step of the process. No question was too silly, no problem too large. I can’t imagine releasing another book without him. Brilliant, personable and efficient, Ty is the kind of person who will instantly add value to your project and enhance your mood to boot. Working with him was a privilege."

—Ethan Kross

I help develop manuscripts on submission. This can involve working with the core idea someone has to develop into a book, and building out from there in terms of themes and structure. Or it can be with a manuscript that has already been written and only needs to be made publisher ready.

I've worked with authors from the very initial seed of an idea all the way to touching up the final manuscript. Often these are long haul projects from inception to manuscript delivery, but there's a ton of variations of what Iv'e done based on what the project has needed.

By far the most thorough and insightful professional I have worked with in the publishing arena. Ty is easy to communicate with, thoughtful, but doesn't paint with a broad brush. He gives thorough detail on what works and what could be tweaked in a story and plot line. At the same time, he adds e...

Ty did a thorough and comprehensive 25 page editorial assessment on my Magical Realism novel covering Characters, Tone& Style, and Plot. He also did Chapter-by-Chapter Notes as well as an annotated version of the manuscript. His comments were highly constructive and thought provoking, but never...

I didn't feel like the process was really interactive or collaborative at all. There were delays and little communication until a day or so before the deadline. We had to move the deadline a few times and Ty didn't really provide details on where things were. The manuscript was returned about 25%...

Hi Shaun, I'm sorry to hear I didn't deliver to your expectations. As we discussed in our messages during the collaboration, I was dealing with the death of a close family member (which I tried to...

I wrote a health-related document for my family that I was considering for publication but wasn’t sure if it was worth pursuing. Ty provided an editorial assessment for me—quite detailed—outlining the strengths and weaknesses of the piece, what would and wouldn’t work in book format, and what to ...
