What does a book editor do?

NPR interview and find out!

Wouldn't you like to work with a book editor and/or writing coach whose clients have not only gotten published, but have also expressed 100% satisfaction with the experience?

In the past twelve years, I've helped dozens of clients get their manuscripts published; and all have stated that their experience of "the process" was superb (see “Success Stories”).

>>> World rights to Sejal Ramani’s The Journey Home and a second book were recently auctioned off in New York to Putnam (Penguin). The publishing date is Spring 2011, and Berkley will publish the books in paperback.

>>> Greta Gleissner�s From Rockette to Rock Bottom: The Dance of Bulimia has been bought by Perseus� imprint Seal Press.


Doesn�t it make sense to hire an editor who has helped new and aspiring writers successfully self-publish, win national book awards, get top literary agents to represent them and persuade America�s best publishing houses to publish their books?
Some of my clients have won national book awards and other major literary prizes. My client Ed Spina's first manuscript, Mystic Warrior, won the national IPPY Award (2005) for Best Visionary Fiction and the 2008 Nautilus Silver Book Award for Visionary Fiction. Past clients Sejal Ramani and Greta Gleissner (mentioned above) each got top-notch New York agents to represent them and went on to sell their books to some of America�s biggest and best publishers.

Isn't it time for you to experience the joy of getting past the inner and outer obstacles to your writing success?
After I edited his novel Double Identity, Charley Webb (aka Chuck Wilcox) looked beyond his fifty previous rejection letters to the three agent offers he immediately received. After choosing one, Chuck got his manuscript into the hands of nine publishers at once! He eventually published his smart, gritty detective murder mystery and received high critical acclaim.

Can you see the benefit of putting your manuscript into the hands of an editor who can get his clients' books published by specialty publishing houses?
I edited The Amnesia Factor by Joseph Mathes and Lenora Huett, and it was subsequently published by renowned New Age publisher Celestial Arts in Berkeley, California.
