Nonfiction  Editing

Nonfiction editing runs the gamut, from literary memoirs to recipes designed for air fryers. Whether I'm editing a book about rock collecting or a guide to buying your first home, I'm concerned first and foremost with accuracy. In addition to honing a thorough knowledge of The Chicago Manual of Style and The AP Stylebook, I go the extra mile to verify facts and data to ensure that every project is accurate as well as grammatically sound.

Cookbook editing relies on strict adherence to style as well as accuracy and clarity. I've brought an understanding of prep methods and food writing as well as a meticulous eye for detail to the more than two dozen cookbooks I've edited. Here are some of my clients and genres:

  • Adams Media

  • Prentice Hall / Betty Crocker

  • Crown Publishing

  • gourmet cooking

  • various cuisines

  • beginner titles

  • themed cookbooks

When editing this broad category, it helps to be well-read and curious about all kinds of subjects. And because writers vary in their voice and genre, an editor needs to be flexible as well as meticulous. That's what I deliver to clients. Here are some examples of what I work on:

  • Adams Media

  • Random House

  • Andrews McMeel

  • real estate

  • gardening

  • self-help
