Waxwing Book Studio
Remote
Developmental editing and collaborative writing of nonfiction books, memoirs, articles, blog posts, websites. Publishing consulting. Preparation of book proposals.
Writing doesn’t have to be a chore, and being edited doesn’t have to hurt! Let a publishing insider help you polish your manuscript until it glows. I offer expert developmental editing and collaborative writing of nonfiction books, articles, blogs, and websites.
Having served for several years on the acquisitions committee at a thriving midsize publishing house, I understand what traditional publishers want, and I can help you prepare a winning manuscript and book proposal. If you're self-publishing, I can provide the support you’ll need to succeed on your own. Whichever path you choose, I'll help you meet your publishing goals -- and enjoy the process.
