What are your favorite Thanksgiving treats?
Looking at nonfiction, I’ve edited inspirational, devotional, Bible study, theological, as well as business, relationship, missions, memoirs, and even a cookbook and an allegory or two.
For children, I’ve edited picture books, chapter books, middle grade readers, and young adult, and it has been a pleasure!
As a teenager, I dreamed of being a librarian sitting in a corner reading books all day. Then I grew up and found out they are too busy to read on the job. How fitting that I became an editor and get paid to read (and polish) book manuscripts all day! Every day brings something new and exciting. Working with an author to make their best even better is the cherry on top of my career!
