What I do

1

Developmental Editing

Successful books in all genres require an inciting incident, a hook that grabs, engaging characters and arcs, enticing setting and descriptions, suspense with mounting tension, authentic dialogue, sound scene structure, a plot void of holes, and a satisfying ending that ties all threads together. It's a lot for the best of writers

Now that your polished book is ready go live, why struggle the tedious details? Formatting, acquiring isbn numbers, pricing, and uploading it to Amazon and independent booksellers sites, can be a technical quagmire. Why put yourself through that hassle? Rely on someone with experience.

Testimonials

Diann Schindler was my developmental editor. Actually, she was more than that. She is what I would call an educere, which is Latin – to lead out. That is, she brought me into a new level of fiction writing and guided me in the development of  my story. Dr. Schindler never dictated but suggested and explained. It was always my story. We discussed the characters, their motives, and their emotions. My story improved as a result of our exchanges. An accomplished author herself, she guided me through the juggernaut of publishing. I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Schindler or give her a greater recommendation.
Lawrence Chizak – To Walk the River.

For your editing needs, I strongly recommend Diann’s editing services! Her process is clearly outlined in your contract and very professionally executed. From reading your entire manuscript twice to preparing chapter by chapter written suggestions, she always respects the author’s voice. If you want a smooth, personal experience, Diann will provide it for you." 

Thank you, Phyllis Walters, Ph.D.

Copy Editing

Manuscripts need to be free from grammar problems, typos, glue words, and awkward sentences that annoy and distract from your story. Truth is readers can be impatient and disappear, after they take the time to write a bad review. Best to publish an error-free, clean manuscript.
