Expert Editing
Your book is important, so give it an expert advantage. With 25+ years of experience in traditional book publishing, I specialize in developmental, content, and line editing of non-fiction and memoir. I am skilled at analyzing your manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses, and at suggesting improvements and revisions. I will help you polish your writing to a high gloss that readers won't be able to resist.
Collaboration (a.k.a. Ghostwriting)
Got a compelling story or message but not the time or talent to write your book? I can help! I will interview you to draw out your personal story and/or message, then write your manuscript for you. I can also write your book proposal and help you query some agents if that's the path you choose to take.
Compelling Copywriting
If your book is going to reach the masses, strong marketing copy is imperative. As a certified copywriter and marketing strategist, I specialize in back cover copy, book proposal copy, and website copy. I will supply you with compelling copy and meaningful marketing that aligns with your mission and vision, animating the sales of your books, products, or services.
"You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you, and we edit to let the fire show through the smoke." ~ Arthur Plotnik

Rarely have I worked with an editor who is as enthusiastic, talented, creative, and marketing savvy as Alice. During the last 10 years, she and I have collaborated on numerous editing projects and I have seen firsthand her talents as a wordsmith. I've been particularly impressed with her commitment to learning new skills and with the personal attention she gives her authors and their books. Alice is one of the best there is when it comes to helping writers shape their ideas into a book with a strong hook, solid content, intriguing chapter titles, and an arresting title. I love working with her and so do her authors.
