With a passion for the written word and a rich tapestry of experience, I am a published author, and an accomplished ghostwriter, editor and writing coach, dedicated to bringing stories to life. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Literature and Creative Writing, along with post-graduate studies in Editing, I masterfully navigate genres from non-fiction and fiction to memoir, biography, business content, poetry, and literature for children and young adults. My versatility spans both British and American grammar styles, ensuring precision and adaptability to meet individual needs. I am highly responsive to messages and feedback, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration. Punctuality is my hallmark. As a skilled wordsmith, I take immense pride in crafting narratives that resonate and engage. Having ghost-written more than a dozen books, my work has received glowing reviews. One publisher client remarked: "Margaret is a phenomenal writer who delivers exceptionally fine products of the highest quality." My greatest joy lies in making manuscripts shine. A novelist client shared: "Margaret was the 3rd Developmental Editor I hired for the same project, so I had high hopes that she would be the one to understand where I was going with my first novel. BINGO. She is amazing and got it perfectly on the first pass." Facilitating others' writing journeys is my passion, reflected in this client’s kind remarks: "Margaret is a very talented editor and writing coach. Her feedback is thoughtful, insightful, and always presented in an instructive manner. She is incredibly professional, leading you to an end product that you can feel proud and confident about." My background as a former paralegal and barrister’s secretary has endowed me with above-average research skills. Additionally, I have founded and directed a preeminent writers’ festival and creative writing groups, I have served as a company director, and I am a patron of the arts.

Since 2000, I’ve been writing and publishing books—16 years with traditional publishers, then indie-publishing all my titles since 2017. Along the way, I’ve published more than 40 books under my own name. Publishing guidance is included in all of my developmental editing packages. ✨ My Developmental Editing Focus I specialize in memoirs as well as fiction: romance of all subgenres, fantasy, sci-fi, women’s fiction, historical fiction, gothic horror, both adult and young adult. Whether it’s personal history or imaginative worlds, I help authors bring out the strongest version of their story. Developmental editing is perfect for authors who want to refine and elevate their own work rather than hand it over to a ghostwriter. My role is to guide, challenge, and shape your book so it’s ready for publication and long-term success. I’m known for working closely with clients—because when it comes to developmental edits, I believe the best results come from conversation, clarity, and collaboration. ✨ What I Provide in Developmental Editing Outlines: Review before you write to catch plot holes, structural issues, or gaps—so the story builds on solid ground. After all, “Holes” worked brilliantly for Louis Sachar, but not every book needs them. Developmental Line Edits: In-depth feedback with margin comments on everything from character arcs to pacing, ensuring your book is as captivating, memorable, and (when needed) haunting as possible. Revision Support: If your manuscript needs deeper reshaping, I also offer developmental editing that includes rewriting sections to tighten, clarify, and strengthen your voice while keeping the story true to your vision.

I've got a bachelor's degree in journalism, a minor in piano performance and a stubborn desire to rid the world of typos. Twelve years as a newspaper editor have exposed me to a vast array of topics — pretty much anything a reporter throws my way! — though my particular favorites are science, health and business. I don't mind digging in and doing a thorough developmental edit, but what I love most is the nitty gritty line and copy editing, with AP style being my preference. I also have experience writing and editing web content, brochures/promotional materials, essays, articles and graphics. From grade school through present-day column writing, I've always been told my work stands out because it has voice, which I take as a great compliment.

“Fantastic work—an expert in her field and phenomenal at her craft.” This is just one of many top reviews from numerous satisfied clients. These reviews reflect my decades of professional editing experience, built on the foundation of my Master’s degree in English Studies and subsequent teaching proficiency at the secondary and college levels. I began my career as a senior editor for a highly regarded publishing house and later served as a corporate managing editor. As a freelance editor, I’ve had the privilege of working on hundreds of books and documents for publishers, independent authors, and a wide range of professionals—including attorneys, engineers, scientists, technology experts, nonprofit organizations, and more. Working with these clients has made my work both meaningful and rewarding. I also bring more than ten years of experience in the legal field as a legal administrative assistant, paralegal (with a paralegal certificate), and contract administrator. Because of this background, I am especially comfortable editing legal documents and working with attorneys. My technical editing background includes journal articles, white papers, reports, theses, and dissertations. Citation formatting is one of my specialties. I am highly experienced with The Chicago Manual of Style and APA and can easily adapt to other style guides. In addition to editing, I am the author of numerous middle-grade books, primarily biographies and historical topics. (You can find my books by searching “Sue Vander Hook” on Amazon.) My experience as an author gives me a deep appreciation for the writing process and the importance of thoughtful, careful editing. My experience and expertise can make your words and voice resonate and rise to an exceptional level. With great collaboration and communication, we can accomplish your goals together.

If you're looking for a lowest-common-denominator editor that will take your work, run it through an automated grammar checker, and toss it back to you, I am not the person for you. If you want someone who will treat your work as if it were their own, nurture it, and make it bloom to its full potential, we should talk! I thoroughly enjoy fixing phrases that might not sound quite right, building more descriptive text in areas you feel need improvement, and ensuring consistency of flow and structure. Proofreader: I've corrected spelling, grammar, and punctuation for hundreds of items, from one-page letters to epic-length novels. The subjects range from simple children's books to quantum mechanics and everything in between. If unsure about a topic, I don't hesitate to ask the client questions about the text to ensure a phrase conveys the intended meaning. Senior Editor: As the sole text editor for DracoArts Studio since February 2003, my responsibilities include: Writing copy for advertisements and newspaper articles Editing the text of my own and others' articles Writing promotional materials and slogans Participating in marketing brainstorming Critiquing marketing designs My skills contribute to improved marketing campaigns for the companies whose promotions in which I participate. That work included proofreading County Woman Magazine, a monthly multi-subject edition of 48-64 pages. I consistently improved the quality of the articles I edited. Books: Besides being a published fiction and non-fiction author, I have edited and written copy for over twenty years. I thoroughly enjoy the detail required for such work, even in cases where the original author has little knowledge of grammar or even English language usage. I have successfully copy, line, and developmentally edited manuscripts up to 150,000 words. Children's Books: As one of my favorite subjects to work on, I have written, edited, or developmentally edited over eighty children's books for ages 4-16. This work includes numerous foreign writers who wanted to make their text work for English speakers and ESL (English as Second Language) readers for ages 4-11. Your work will not be handed off to someone you've never spoken to after you hire me, like many of the expensive agencies that make grandiose promises. All work and communication will be done directly with me. I will be far from the least costly freelancer you could find on Upwork, but my experience and expertise are worth the extra investment.
