Vaneesa Cook – Editor

Since graduating with a PhD in US history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2015, I have been editing for a variety of authors, including academics and fiction writers. I consider myself a "book whisperer" with the unique ability to understand the manuscript and develop it with the author. I can also organize a user-friendly index.

As a scholar at your service, with great attention to detail, I will help you craft a better draft and polish your book for publication.

I offer all the technical skills with the added benefit of a scholar's understanding of academic concepts and writing. I specialize in history, politics, and religion, but I've handled books in social science, cultural studies, literature, and philosophy. I also edit novels and memoirs regularly. I have written non-fiction and two novels, so I know the process first-hand.

I live in Wisconsin, enduring cold winters, but I love to travel, read, and watch movies to expand my horizons.
