I’m looking for a professional editor.
I’m not looking for a “service” that collects tons of money and promises all sorts of crap. I’m not looking for SPAM either.
I need a good editor for a couple of novel manuscripts.
If you can suggest anyone please leave a message on this post or email me at juliettevampiremom@gmail.com
I prefer someone in the United States who uses standard American English. I’m in California so it just makes it easier.
Thanks,
Juliette

She’s British but fine for American English. She’s working on my second book and already I’m extremely impressed. She’s provided the best beta read/ developmental edit I’d had from someone.
If you want another comparison you should check out Harmony Kent . She’s an author but provides a full editing service. Again, UK based but will be fine. http://www.harmonykent.co.uk/?page_id=43
It’s worth checking out Rosie Amber’s wordpress blog. She lists lots of services – http://rosieamber.wordpress.com/resources-for-writers-editing-publishing-and-more/
Hope that helps 🙂
Thank you Helen. I’ll check out the links.
Dear Juliette, I can highly recommend Shawn MacKenzie. She is editing a children’s book we are writing together. She is the writer for Editor’s Corner that I post on “the secret keeper” and she is a published author. She is quite brilliant in editing other’s writing. She doesn’t change your content, just helps clarify and tidy up your voice while keeping the voice intact. You can reach her at . She has reasonable rates. I think you will be very impressed and satisfied with her work. Jennifer
Thanks Jennifer. I thought about Sean too. She has a good reputation.
Sorry, for some reason the email didn’t show up. It is Shawn MacKenzie at saki11@comcast.net 🙂
Juliette, Jennifer told me you’re looking for an editor. A tricky thing, to find the right fit, and to that end I always do a trial 1000 words gratis to give clients a sense of my editing style, etc. My rates are reasonable, and my work diligent. I can, with due modesty, clean up and tighten most any manuscript while always honoring the author’s voice and intent. You can reach me at saki11@comcast.net. Best. Shawn
Hi Juliette, I do freelance editing work here and there and would love to edit for you! I’m in SF,CA too! My e-mail should come up on your comments page if needed. Happy New Year too! Julie
I didn’t realize you were so close. I’m near Sacramento. Thanks for the information.
Juliette, look into my editor…

She’s great! Let her know I sent you if you decide to contact her. I think she does a sample edit for $25 So you can get a feel for her style and see if you both are a good fit.
Congrats on having MS ready!
Thank you Mari
