 I have a love of communication and how we connect with each other, a thirst for the conventions of language, and an eye for detail. There’s nothing like the happiness I feel by helping someone perfect their words and then watching their confidence grow when they present their writing to readers at its best. When not assisting a writer with a project, I love cooking, eating, gardening, and painting. One of my goals for this year is to write a children’s book. My work as an editor enables me to connect with talented writers, and the way they can craft a fascinating story inspires me to chronicle some of my best childhood memories on my grandparent’s farm. Maybe someday I will add “published writer” to my list of accomplishments. My husband and I enjoy life on our small farm. He is a patient soul who tries to teach me, “you can’t catch fish if you are making a lot of noise,” and the finer points of rowing a boat. (How do you steer with those two oars, anyway?) I’m mother and caretaker to a flock of lovely chickens, a rather disagreeable goose, and an assortment of four-legged, furry friends. Contact Susan"Susan Pierson of Fine Line Proofs is fantastic editor and proof reader. She is efficient, thorough and reasonable priced. She does not try to change your voice in what you have written. I recommend her with my most highest regards." How can I ever express my gratitude? Michele Pollock Dalton heeded my plea when another book designer bailed out on me at the 11th hour. After one phone conversation, she took my Word document and rough depiction of a book cover and formatted them into a stunning piece of graphic and literary work.

As a writer herself, Madison brings a unique perspective to the editing process and understands the importance of maintaining an author’s voice and style while making improvements that will help the work-in-progress stand out and be its best. Through her business The Inkwell Edit, she offers various levels of edits aimed at aiding fellow writers on their journeys to publication, whether they choose to go the traditional, indie, or self-publishing route. Within her creative pursuits, Madison’s love of fantasy and historical fiction has led her to write primarily fantasy-inspired novels, with an adult fantasy novel and a Middle Grade historical fiction novel with fantasy elements both underway. She also expresses her love of writing and reading through her literary site House of Cadmus. Proofreading: Proofreading is the final step that ensures the quality of your work before it goes out to readers. It's a surface level edit that corrects spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting, and word use. Proofreading sharpens your writing and ensures you're delivering the reading experience you want to bring to your audience. No project is complete without it. Copyediting: Copyediting is a deeper look at your writing. In addition to proofread corrections, a copyedit will look at more technical issues while creating a style guide specific to you, verifying basic facts, ensuring any design elements or graphics are consistent and formatted correctly, and flagging inconsistencies and trademark or copyright issues that could arise. All copyedit corrections are made while maintaining your unique style and voice within your writing. Line Editing: Line editing is an even deeper dive into perfecting your manuscript that focuses on elevating your writing. Where proofreading and copyediting address technical aspects of writing, line editing is a more stylistic edit that addresses the impact and reading experience of your writing by editing for tone, style, clarity, impact, and flow. Line by line, your writing will be enhanced and strengthened, always preserving your style and voice.

"I wanted to let you know that 'yes,' I did use them for a Storytelling review of my book/story. The text of my story is 85K words, so it was a task for them to read and review it . . . Yes, they read the entire book. Yes, they offered some useful and good comments; of course, as they stated, it is up to me to make use of their comments or not. Yes, they offered comments on what they liked about the story/book. Main point is that it was very useful indeed to have them, as an independent party, read the book and offer comments from, as I'd describe, 20,000 feet. Next task is for me to make some edits and ask the next reviewer to dive deeper into the story (grammar, etc.)."  Mari Ann Stefanelli, Founder
