A Romance Editor and a Military Editor – Two for the price of one!
We are developmental editors, book coaches, and ghostwriters who help authors outline, write, and edit their books.
When you work with us, you get two editors for the price of one: a male and a female, and a soldier and a civilian, a Gen Xer and a Millennial. With a single round of editing, you will discover how your work resonates across multiple demographics.
From assisting soldiers in sharing their real-life combat experiences in military memoirs to coaching storytellers through the intricacies of harrowing fantasy worlds and heart-wrenching romance, we have a diverse range of expertise. Our portfolio extends beyond that, to aiding entrepreneurs and investors in sharing their wisdom with the world and helping authors craft gripping military or action-thriller novels.
Massive thanks to you, Randy Surles, for helping me create a captivating, inspiring, and powerful story. And thank you for bringing the talented Laura Graves into the process. The two of you were a joy to work with.
