I haven’t actively sought them out, but an unprecedented number of book manuscript editing projects have crossed my desk this summer. I helped a supersmart designer and strategist whom I’ve known for many years craft his first book, on marketing for better-for-you brands. I helped a design business educator with an avid following refine his book full of business and life advice. I copyedited a quick-read book for a video marketing expert. I’m currently copyediting two other book projects.
A friend of mine remarked, “well, this is what the universe thinks you should be doing right now.” Apparently.
Writing isn’t easy; writing a full-on book is really hard. It’s rewarding to help authors bring their passion projects to the finish line.
