Betsy Robinson

 

 

I offer gentle help for writers and non-writers who want to produce books, brochures, press releases, newsletters, etc.

 

I am currently editing books — at the developmental and later stages of manuscript writing.

 

I will:

• Copy edit
• Style (per Chicago Manual — the industry standard)
• Make your writing flow, enhancing and clarifying your voice (rather than changing it)
• Turn your work into finished, professional prose

I am particularly interested in service-related projects (eco-living, healing, therapy, spiritual growth, human and animal welfare) and I have a background in spiritual psychology. I've enormously enjoyed working with people on memoirs that are written to serve others.
