Introduction
$30/hr I specialize in editing Spiritual Memoir and any genre of Fiction. As an editor, fiction writer, memoirist, and poet myself, I’m sure I have the skills to take your writing project to the next level. I’m a published author and a nationally-awarded writer. I have 25 years of experience teaching, have published 7 books and numerous articles. I currently teach writing classes at Broward College and have taught at an additional 5 colleges and universities. I like to see rough material transformed into a finished draft. I am inspired by the writers I've worked with as well. I enjoy words and making sentences flow. I believe all good writing is a discovery of self and world from each unique author's perspective and I look for the golden nuggets in each piece I read and try to bring them forth. Sometimes paragraphs are out of order, more effective beginnings and endings can be found, or scenery and landscape needs developing. My developmental editing takes care of all that. Resonance is important for subtle symbols to get across to readers unconsciously. I enjoy finding or suggesting nuances that occur to me while studying the work. I've published in 4 genres, poetry, fiction, memoir and literary criticism, so I am quite versatile and have worked with many different kinds of books including thrillers, romances, sci-fi, literary novels, memoirs, self-help books, and a wide range from poetry to instructional manuals. I am a word wizard and can tune into another writer's unique voice to make my editing compatible. Whether you are working on a new novel, a collection of essays or stories, a non-fiction subject or a magazine article, I am here to help and look forward to hearing about your writing project.

Deborah, was an absolute integral part of my writing process! She helped me connect the dots, create better flow in my writing style, revealed gaps and grammar mishaps, and gave me easy-to-follow instructions (especially as I am new to this). I’m certain that my book (not quite finished) is better off now than before. She completed her part in the project early, and gave me ready access to her time for any questions or feedback. The price point was very reasonable and competitive for the quality. I highly recommend her services (and a special thanks to you, Deb!) for your literary needs.

Debrah is a phenomenal editor. Her edits are invaluable in transforming my manuscript, a fictional satire, from coal to diamonds.

Sheridan, Thank you for this lovely review. I forgot they would ask for it and it was a nice thing to wake up to in my morning mail. Do let me know when the book is available. Meanwhile, as Candide might say, I hope all is right with your world! Thanks again, ~ Deborah

Deborah was an angel sent by God literally. She superseded my expectations. She read my manuscript line by line and made corrections when necessary and give me her suggestions and recommendations. She basically taught me how to use pronouns , grammar and proper sentences constructions. English is not my first language and as such I really appreciate Deborah. She offer me free sample editing before I made my decision. All in All, Deborah has a wealth of experience, knowledge and skill to help any novice writer to a great writer.
