I have a Master's degree in Communication and a B.A. degree in English with Honors in Creative Writing. Both are from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a university that is noted for its authors. I *never* use AI. I have been working with editors and writers at a distance over the Internet for more than 20 years. 5 books of mine have been published by major publishers, including Random House. I specialize in memoirs, biographies, life stories, and creative writing. I can help you with your book or article from beginning to end. As an editor, I work hard to edit your words so that they sound authentic and true to your own voice yet smooth and flowing. I can also format your work and publish it as a hard copy book and/or publish it in eBook form. I can then get your book/eBook listed on Amazon and listed with other booksellers.
I can write on a variety of subjects. I have been the author of reference and how-to non-fiction books along with books about history and science. I have written books of poetry, short stories, and dramatic works plus a science fiction novel. All told, I have published more than 15 non-fiction and fiction books/eBooks. I have also written blogs for more than 10 years.
I am a native English-speaking author. have developed a reputation for being reliable and easy to work with. I will meet all agreed deadlines. I will be glad to provide references and more information as needed. Send me an invitation or invite me to interview and let's talk about your next project.
When I work with a client, I have one guiding rule: THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
