Book of moons literary services

As a writer, I know how valuable an impartial, critical eye is to improving one’s prose. As a teacher, I know that encouragement and generosity of spirit are necessary to keep a writer buoyant. And finally, as a former editor with substantial editing and acquisition experience in the New York publishing world, I know that a writer with goals of publishing must have solid and honest editorial advice. I can offer you an editing service that brings all three of these crucial elements to the table.

Services include:

* Manuscript consultation

* Line-editing, structural and comprehensive editing, and proofreading for individuals, businesses, and publishers

* Marketing and copywriting for small businesses

* College application materials, including MFA applications and writing samples

* Producing pitches for agents and editors and creating winning book proposals

* Other editorial projects for individuals and businesses (see Menu of Services)

 

My background as an acquisitions editor at one of New York’s oldest publishing houses can help you get your master work—or even your minor works—into the best shape possible. Because I only recently left the world of New York publishing, I can offer fresh and up-to-date insights into the realities of publishing today, including the truth about agents, the slush pile, the production schedules, and more. In addition, my background as an old-fashioned line editor who specialized in developing and publishing first-time authors provides me a unique perspective on manuscripts-in-progress.

 

Let my experience help you produce your best writing.
