Hi Goodreads Friends,

For the past several years, I have been providing editing services for selected manuscripts. I work one-on-one with writers who are committed to their projects -- novels, short stories, and creative non-fiction -- and help them find their way from draft to finished manuscript.

I am looking to take on new clients this fall. If you are searching for a sharp editor for your work, I would love to discuss a potential collaboration. If you know of other serious writers in need of assistance, please feel free to pass this email along. My project fees are quoted upon acceptance; references are available on request.

Many of the writers I have worked with have gone on to enormous success. Michelle Corasanti’s moving debut novel The Almond Tree quietly snuck onto bestseller lists, receiving international acclaim with foreign rights sales already in Italy, Spain, Norway, Poland, Catalan, The Netherlands, Southeast Asia, and more sure to come. Author Mike Siemsen self-published his audacious novel A Warm Place to Call Home, currently available on Amazon.com. The book received terrific reviews from Kirkus Review and numerous readers/devoted fans. Andrew Clarke’s first novel Bad Money was a finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.

A little more about me: My second novel Bad Marie was a Barnes & Noble Discover New Writers pick and named one of the Best Novels of 2010 by Esquire Magazine. I have an essay appearing in the anthology Goodbye To All That: Writers on Loving and Leaving New York, alongside Cheryl Strayed, Dani Shapiro, Emma Straub and others, and will be appearing in events this fall in support of the release. I have taught courses in novel writing and the short story at Gotham Writers Workshop in New York.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I would love to hear from you.

All best,
Marcy
