Book Magician, Editor without Equal.

$165.00/hr

I've been at this writing game for a long, long time--over 40 years, to be exact. I've won national writing contests, published books with small presses, been the "go-to" editor for fast-turnaround "quick books" at a major publisher, and, of course, helped dozens of individual writers to become better authors. I'm the pickiest of the picky, a crackerjack speller, and The Grammarian About Whom Your Mother Warned You. I do need to say here, however, because there have been MANY clients who don't understand this: I AM NOT A GHOSTWRITER. I have done ghostwriting in the past, but I don't do it anymore. So if you're looking for someone to write books for you, under your name...please .look elsewhere. :-) Other than that...if you want the best TLC your book can get, look no further. The Book Magician is here!
