Editing

FOR THE YEARS 2024-2026 I AM NO LONG ACCEPTING QUERIES FOR EDITING AS I COMPLETE MY MASTERS DEGREE IN PUBLISHING.

***THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AS I STRIVE TO BECOME A BETTER EDITOR.***

Once upon a time, on a typewriter long, long, ago, Edward Bulwar-Lytton wrote, “It was a dark and stormy night.” This is one of the most famous examples of “purple prose”and heralded as one of the worst novel openings in history. As an editor, it’s my job to keep you, the author, from making such errors.

Self-publishing is a great way to get your story out into the hands of your readers. But it means that a lot of authors are left without the service of a traditional publishing house editor. And no matter from where you are publishing your work, editing is a crucial step in the publishing process.

I love helping other writers make their manuscripts better. I want to see you succeed in your writing! I’ve been a professional editor for over seven years, with specialty in fantasy, science fiction, and romance.

I offer copy editing, which includes grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.;  and conceptual editing, which includes suggestions on plot, dialogue, themes, etc. Contact me for my prices and scheduling availability.

    I have a poem I want to register as a book complete with hand drawn art. I spoke to a publishing company who said it would have to be at least 25 pages and lots of fill-in stuff to make up the pages. They said it would be more in the lines of a child’s book. I wrote the poem in 2009 and have since asked for help in illustration but have not had much cooperation.
    The other thing is I have a book on the inside of me that will be very controversial and I have no concept of to whom I would ask about publishing it. I had thought from the books I read from Stormy Night Publications before reading the information on them, that they would be the perfect company.
    So I guess Ms. Sanders of whom we share the same last name, I am not sure of what I am asking. I just know these two books have to be publications in the near future. They are needed by a fair amount of people who have chosen to ignore what is on the inside that is far greater than what is on the outside. Yours Truly, Connie Sanders BTW: I will need your help. The poem has been critiqued by a Pastor who felt the ending was not correct but it is correct. It is to each reader that it calls for them to place the words in the blanks from their own past experiences.
