The work I've done
With a background in creative writing, English literature and journalism, I have many years of experience writing and editing in different fields and for various clients.
Below are some of the books I have worked on. In some cases, I worked with the author from manuscript evaluation to developmental editing, copy editing and back cover copywriting. In other cases, I may have just done a proofread or any combination of an evaluation plus one other form of editing.
EDITING WORK
Non-fiction — Memoir or biography
Working with authors on memoirs can be challenging, but it is always immensely rewarding. It’s an introspective—and sometimes confronting—process.
Non-fiction — Instructional or self-help
This list ranges from history to spirituality and every other way we can learn in between. It’s always fascinating to work on these types of books.
Non-fiction — Travel
I’d love to work on more travel-related stories. There’s a lot to discover in this world . . . about others and ourselves.
Non-fiction — Instructional and business
It requires quite a lot of expertise to write a business-related book. It’s a pleasure working with such motivated individuals.
Non-fiction — Essays/prose/poetry
Each of these authors had a unique point of view about their lived experience; they chose prose and/or poetry to express it.
Fiction
Fiction is a genre that can be so much fun to work on. Building worlds and refining plot lines are some of the challenges this genre faces. It’s always a pleasure to have insight into the creative minds of fiction authors and find ways to make the stories shine. I’d love to work on more fiction.
