Welcome to Gram
Editing Services.
The foreword to
Natalie Goldberg's indispensable writing guide, Writing Down
the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within, quotes a motto encased
in an old oak picture frame: Do Your Work As Well As You
Can and Be Kind.
As a motto for work—and
life—I
can't think of anything better.
Whatever you write—fiction,
non-fiction, business, technical, or academic—I
can help you perfect your manuscript. I have worked with
experienced writers with several books under their belt, with
new writers looking forward to their first publication, and with
writers who don't really want to be writers at all but have to
produce good stuff. I have worked with novelists, memoirists,
inspirational writers, how-to writers, historians, academics,
teachers, students, and business people.
I welcome you all, and to all I
promise ...
I
will edit your words as well as I can—with
the expertise that comes from years of
writing and editing—and
I will be kind. I appreciate what you have gone through to
produce those precious words, and I understand what a leap of
faith it is to entrust them to the critical eye of a stranger.
If you're
ready, I'm
ready!
