"It's remarkable how much work one little ad on Authorlink.com has generated
for me. I've been hired for two major ghostwriting projects and countless
editorial jobs. When you compare this to the minimal cost of running an ad
every month, the ratio of income to expenditure is simply astronomical."

Now celebrating 26 years in the service of writers worldwide
Founded by former William Morrow senior editor Renni Browne, our firm is dedicated to helping writers of full-length fiction and nonfiction turn promising manuscripts into salable properties.

We cannot guarantee writers publication as a result of working with us, but we can dramatically improve their odds.

Member Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce
I've been an editor of fiction, nonfiction, screenplays, and stage plays for three decades, and my authors have book deals with major publishers.
Twice nominated for the Frankfurt Award, I am a best-selling author with six books to my credit. I've been in Time Magazine, and I was a front cover story for Wired Magazine. The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage credits me with changing the book business.
My goal is to respect the integrity of the manuscript, edit with a firm but gentle touch, and share industry wisdom.
I do all editing myself, and I offer a free sample edit.
