Meet a published author who likes to edit.

Deni is an Associate Editor for Five Star Mysteries. She is available for speaking engagements at conferences and conventions. She often gives workshops on self-editing and a variety of other subjects. AssociateEditorTekno@shaw.ca

Here's how I work:

The first time through, I make notes about glaring glitches, concept, content, genre specifics, and plot/pacing holes.

The second time through, I cover spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, transitions, anachronisms, historical/ethnic accuracy, characterization, conflict (internal and external), motivation, secondary players, backstory, POV, narrative voice, dialogue, exposition, sensory details, and descriptions of people, places and situations.

Here are some of my clients:

Maria Hudgins Beth Groundwater Karen McCullough
Patricia Stoltey	Lonnie Cruse	Cary Brown
Also ...
Kate Flora Earl Merkel Gabriella Anderson Emily Carmichael/Emily Bradshaw Troy Cook Mary Saums John Lamb Maggie Sefton

Because of the explosion in e-books, I have added Gordon Aalborg and Alice Duncan to Stray Cat. Both have well over 10 published books and 10+ years of editing experience.

Happy writing,
