Hi, I’m Deena!
You’re a writer looking for:
- A superb editor who will polish what you’ve written without taking away your own, unique author’s voice.
- Someone who knows your genre, who is responsive to your needs and requests, who can communicate well, and who can give excellent feedback gently.
- A professional who will get your message across; make your writing clear, fluid, consistent, and grammatically correct; keep your tone, your ideas, and your personality front and center.
- A deliverable that’s ready to publish.
And it shouldn’t feel like root canal.
Why choose me?
- I was born, bred, and educated in the United States, and live the ex-pat life in an English-speaking environment.
- All my work is done in English.
- I have 35 years of experience editing and proofreading books, journals, and articles in every genre; biography/autobiography; history; philosophy; law; education; medicine; text; adult, young adult, and children’s fiction; and comics.
- I was a senior editor at an indie publisher for 12 years.
- I always win at Boggle.
If you work with me…
- Your piece will be assessed and get just what it needs, whether it’s content editing, copy editing, or proofreading.
- It will be ready for design, typesetting, and publication – no loose threads, no dangling modifiers.
- It will be grammatically correct; no embarrassing faux pas.
In short, your prose is safe with me. I’ll help make it better while ensuring it remains uniquely yours.
