Introduction: "The editing was top notch!" "The Last Rhino", First Place Children's Animals/First Place Children's 6-8. Feathered Quill Awards, 2019 Published author, editor, formerly with major traditional publisher in Editorial. I specialize in developmental editing for first-time authors as well as seasoned professionals. Along with all levels of professional editing for fiction and non-fiction, I can also offer guidance in contemporary publishing. Ghostwriting available. Can also quote smaller academic projects. WARNING: If an editor quotes you blindly, without an interview or an assessment of your manuscript, then caveat emptor. Responsible editors don't just quote based on word count. Your naivete as a first-time writer is a breeding ground for opportunists. Please supply a word count if you are requesting an ESTIMATE only. Also, please advise if your MS is complete. I prefer to work with completed manuscripts. If you only have an "idea" for a book, please be prepared for the cost of ghostwriting, which is substantial. If you are a fiction writer, please be prepared for your work to need more than simple line editing, if you desire that it be competitive in the current market. Thank you.
