| Amy K. Maddox, editor |
I was so excited to
discover that freelance editing was on the list of Things You Can Be When You
Grow Up. An avid reader and writer for virtually my whole life, and a grammar
geek since the sixth grade (Comma rules! Spelling! Diagramming sentences!), I finally
made my love of the English language official when I graduated summa cum laude
with my B.A. in English.
In
my eleven years as a professional, I've edited websites, newsletters, press
releases, journal articles, nonfiction books, textbooks, short stories, flash fiction, and novels. But after my introduction to the
world of independent publishing, I knew I'd found my niche as an indie fiction
editor. I adore a good story—anything from fantasy to sci-fi, mystery to
young adult—and I have the knowledge and experience to help you fix everything
from basic grammar to overall story flow.
My
mantra is, Write first, edit later. You take care of the first part, I'll take
care of the second, and together we will create art.
"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind." –Rudyard Kipling
