As a writer, editor, copy editor, and proofreader, I've done freelance work for twelve years through my company, Wynnpix Productions. I edited over 60 books of fiction and non-fiction for Booktrope Publishing in Seattle and over 100 for Action Wealth Publishing in London. I have helped dozens of independent writers with everything from line editing and proofreading to file formatting and setup on all publishing platforms. Find many of my books linked on my website, WynnpixProductions dot com.

I specialize in assisting artists, experts, and authors tell unique stories and share their messages, particularly in the areas of health and wellness, business and non-profit management, self-actualization and spirituality, film and media, and all aspects of arts and culture. I also write contemporary and MG/YA fiction, available on Amazon, and just published a family history in 3 languages. I have been an entertainment and non-profit media arts executive for decades, focusing on narrative feature film and the professional development of writers, producers, and directors. I led a national media diversity organization and have extensive experience in fundraising and advocacy. As a former film business and non-profit executive/producer, I have researched/written/re-written tons of proposals, reports, business letters, resumes, non-fiction, speeches, grants, etc. plus published short stories. I have a master's degree from UCLA in semiotics, film and media.. My editing work includes fiction (romance, supernatural, action, crime, historical, contemporary; faeries, dragons, a few zombies, quite a few startling true FBI tales; international, domestic, literary); non-fiction memoir, biography, workbooks, self-help and inspirational, business and high-tech, film and all arts.

I can do transcriptions, markups, direct corrections (recommended), or even a combination. Chicago style preferred; can do MLA and others.

Many businesses struggle to publish marketing content consistently. Blogs stop updating. LinkedIn goes quiet. Social media becomes inconsistent. Newsletters are sent once and then forgotten. I help service businesses maintain consistent, professional content across blogs, LinkedIn, and social media, using simple monthly packages—so you can stay visible without hiring an in-house marketing team. Instead of one-off projects, I focus on ongoing content support.

My experience includes several decades of writing and editing both fiction and nonfiction and specialize in self help, memoir, business and finance and fiction. As an editor, I have worked with hundreds of writers from beginners to experts at all stages of development to help them make their writing shine. I enjoy variety and challenge and am versatile, fast and dependable. I have strong grammatical skills and am a competent editor of all phases of editing.. As a fun aside, I am a Publishers Weekly Bestselling and Award-winning novelist with over two million books in print as well as hundreds of non-fiction articles and blog posts. Whatever your project, let me help you make it be the best it can be.

Welcome! I appreciate you stopping by to learn a little about who I am and what I can do for you. Editing is my calling, and I have invested myself into providing you with the best value so that everyone wins in the end. I understand that writing and publishing is a long process, so I'm here to make it a little easier. My goal is to set you on your way with content that you are proud to publish. Writing is a messy process, so my job as your copyeditor/proofreader is to help you clean that mess up and present your message to the world with confidence. If that book you’re writing is the culmination of years of work, you’re going to want to make sure it says exactly what you want it to say—no chances for miscommunication or embarrassing typos. If you write a company newsletter, let’s work together to be sure that your drive and vision for your company comes through clearly in the columns you and other contributors write. I’m not picky about the medium you use for your content—book, short ebook feature, newsletter, blog series, and anything else between—I work with whatever you bring me. I AM picky about my work, though, so you can be sure that I will give you my best. My highest goal is your greatest success. In addition to what I mentioned already, I've also worked with fiction, nonfiction, and medical texts, and have experience with Chicago, MLA, APA, AP, and Turabian styles (and any combination or modifications in between). I completed my Masters of Science degree in Publishing from Pace University in 2016 and have 10 years of copyediting experience.

Whether you're publishing your first book or adding another title to your catalog, I provide a complete editing and formatting service that ensures your book is professional, consistent, and meets publishing standards.

With extensive experience in publishing, I now am focusing on editing and proofreading, particularly where I am able to help the author/writer improve a document to achieve its goal. I have extensive experience, primarily with non-fiction (including technical, theses and dissertations, and how-tos) and books published by McGraw-Hill, Elsevier, Palgrave-Macmillan, and Cambridge University Press. My own published works include a book in the "Dummies" series, a weekly column in The New York Times, a plethora of articles, a reference CD-ROM, training courses for major financial institutions, and technical manuals. I have a Six Sigma Green Belt, Green Belt with DFSS, and Public Relations Society of America accreditation.

No AI; all work is 100% human! I have a love for the written word and a razor-sharp eye for errors! I’m the indie author and small publisher’s best friend, because my editing is a valuable combination of copy, line, and developmental. I look at the manuscript's ENTIRE scope, the viability of the storyline as well as the writing. I also offer storyline/plot evaluations. Romance publishers, in particular, need this service to prevent spending hundreds of dollars on stories that contain implausible and inaccurate situations that render them un-publishable. Romance is my specialty; however, I also edit nonfiction, business, and medical documents, as well as other fiction genres. I treat each client’s document as if my name were going to be publicly listed as the author. Contact me, and let's discuss what I can do for you! Here’s a brief summary of the services I offer: EDITING. In addition to making developmental suggestions regarding structure, pacing, plot, and characterization (the latter two for fiction), I check the entire document for typos, overused/misused/missing words, incorrect facts, inconsistencies, redundancies, contradictions, implausibilities, confusing narrative, pronoun misuse, adverb overuse, point-of-view (in fiction) errors, tense, transitions, clarity, syntax, and of course, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure. PROOFREADING. Commonly believed to be the same as editing…it’s not. Proofreading should be done after editing is complete and before publishing or submission. This includes correcting missing or incorrect punctuation, incorrect word usage, misused homonyms, missing words, doubled words, irregular word or line spacing, inconsistencies in statements and formatting, typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors. PLOT/STORYLINE EVALUATIONS. Are you a small publisher who has spent hundreds, or even thousands, on stories that turn out to be worthless? Let me evaluate your ghostwriter’s storyline before you pay to have it written, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars. I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it and make suggestions for resolution (or inform you that it’s hopeless). I’ll also review the first 500 words of the manuscript. GHOSTWRITING. Anything I write for you is guaranteed to need little editing. However, I only consider ghostwriting if a) the client provides a story outline, b) there is a reasonable weekly output of 6-8k words, and c) I am paid at least 3 cents per word. TRANSCRIPTION/TYPING. Dictated or handwritten: random thoughts/notes, correspondence, medical reports, fiction or nonfiction manuscripts, and one-on-one interviews or conversations (I do not transcribe reports with more than two speakers). My experience: • Professional writer for over 20 years, nonfiction (newspaper columnist) and fiction (40+ novels of romance and women's fiction published under my pen name(s), plus ghostwritten titles). • Professional proofreader who worked for pharmaceutical giant Abbott Labs in that capacity. • Experienced editor with an 11-year history on Upwork. Top Rated. • Retired multispecialty medical transcriptionist; qualified to edit medical documents. • Romance specialist. With so many published romance novels to my name, I possess a thorough understanding of the genre and know what works and what doesn't. I am a book doctor who can clean up plots that contain outlandish elements and revise them into a plot that is both engrossing and *believable.* • Owner/operator of Red Pen Edits by BLU.

For 15+ years, I had the honor of working at a major publishing company, working directly with authors on books of all genres including: self-help, health, business, diet/fitness, sports, psychology, parenting, mindfulness, women's issues, cookbooks, memoirs, and more. I developed, copyedited, and proofread more than 100 titles that garnered praise from Publisher's Weekly, the New York Times Book Review and The Midwest Book Review. Our books won numerous awards including The Nautilus Award and the Ben Franklin Literary Award. Here's a partial list: • New York Times Bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series (more than 20 titles) • New York Times Bestselling The Power of Focus and The Power of Focus for Women • The Schwarzbein Principle Diet and The Schwarzbein Principle Cookbook • My Pinewood Kitchen: 130+ Crazy Delicious Gluten-Free Recipes to Make Your Gut Happy • Vegan Yum Yum: Decadent (But Doable) Animal-Free Recipes for Entertaining and Everyday • Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents: 7 Ways to Stop the Worry Cycle • How to Be Like Mike [Michael Jordan] with Orlando Magic Vice President Pat Williams • How to Be Like Jesus with Pat Williams • Drunk, Divorced and Covered in Cat Hair: The True-Life Misadventures of a 30-Something Who Learned to Knit When He Split As a commissioning editor, I spent years perusing the "slush pile," reviewing incoming proposals to find the diamond in the rough. With a keen eye for what makes a book marketable, I can offer my expertise to help any author craft a winning book proposal. I also coauthored The Germ Freak's Guide to Outwitting Colds and Flu, a humorous yet practical guide to germ etiquette. Publisher's Weekly called it "thorough and witty," and I toured the country promoting it, appearing on 20/20, Good Morning America, and NPR. Because of this experience, I gained real-world insight into what it's like to be a published author, taking your book from conception all the way to marketing and PR. I can offer you a unique perspective on every aspect of publishing. I have a passion for prose, I'm tenacious with typos, and I make it my mission to help your book shine. I'd love to hear more about how I can help you with your project.
