About the Author
I started in the publishing industry more than twenty-five years agoas a copy editor for the Big Six (back then), when we still used redpencils and to fact-check I had to spend a day at the New York PublicLibrary. As a developmental editor for the last decade I work directlywith authors as well as through major publishing houses, on titles by New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal best-selling authors as well as manuscripts for independently published writers, single titles as well as entire series.
I hold a BA in English literature from Georgia State University andam a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association. I've had theprivilege of leading editing and writing workshops for many writers'groups, organizations, and conferences, including RWA National, PikesPeak Writers, Sisters in Crime, the Women's Fiction Writers Association, and the Santa Barbara Writers Conference, and I write for numerouswriters' sites and publications.
