Do You Need An Editor?
The short answer is, “Yes!”
Today, many agents and publishers recommend that an author hire an editor before submitting a manuscript. Having spent four decades in publishing houses in New York City, I know what agents and publishers are looking for.
No one can guarantee to make you a bestselling author or even get you published, but your chances are immensely improved with proper editing and representation.
My Services
First, I need to read your work. See the Submission Guidelines below.
If I feel that I am a good fit for an author, I will extend a Editorial Services Contract.
Once the contract is signed, I will begin by making an extensive, detailed analysis of the work at hand and present a first round of notes. After that, I will continue to work with the author until the manuscript is the best it can be.
Submission Guidelines
Use the following FORM to send me:
- Your Name and Contact Information
- A Short Summary (1 Page) of your book
- The first 3,000 words of your book
I will read and evaluate your work, and get in touch with you to share my thoughts.
