I love to help writers polish their words to a brilliant shine that reflects their voice, not mine. I’ve edited everything from anthology stories, book proposals, devotional books, and children’s books to full-length fiction and nonfiction books.
Tracy Crump Editing Services is available for basic copyediting, including editing for word usage, punctuation, clarity, tense, spelling, grammar, consistency, syntax, and other mechanical problems. If these match your needs, contact me for a FREE sample edit of the first five pages of your full-length book manuscript.
Nonfiction is my area of expertise, including anthologies and devotionals. I edit Chicken Soup for the Soul® stories for a flat fee. I work by email using Microsoft Word Track Changes, and my editing philosophy is that the author has complete control over his or her work.
