Writers put fire into their words. Editors clear away the smoke.

If everyone who felt inspired to write their story did so, there would still not be too many books in the world.

"Lenore is a conscientious, thoughtful and kind person, who takes care of your text as if it were hers," says one client. Editing, evaluations, speaking engagements--I love my work!

I am a substantive and developmental editor who loves books. I can offer input about what works and what doesn't and can help you succeed at crafting the best story that you can possibly write.

"Nowick’s comments are always astute and insightful, never hurtful or condescending. I recommend his services to any writer." - Charles Finn, author of Wild Delicate Seconds (an LA Times Summer Reads pick)

Top shelf English; delighted to help.

Clarifying voices, distilling ideas.

If it's worth writing, it's worth editing.

“Lynne’s work has been outstanding . . . I recommend her without hesitation for any position requiring the services of a professional writer and editor.”

Quality work–on time and on budget.

Let me be your "fresh pair of eyes" on upcoming projects.

Writer, researcher, & lifelong member of the Grammar & Spelling Police (GASP).

Hello! I have experience editing works of fiction (specifically speculative fiction (adult and children) and mysteries/thrillers), news articles, scientific articles, blog posts, and more. I also have experience guiding authors through the publishing process. Hope to hear from you soon! www.editican.com

The right words, in the right place, at the right time

I am an editor and indexer who specializes in academic and non-fiction documents. With 30 years of experience evaluating academic papers I have developed a keen eye for spotting spelling and grammar errors. I can simplify your text to clarify meaning and I can write an index for your book to help readers find the information they need.

Every word you write conveys the essence of your enterprise and your brand. I will help you ensure that those words reflect your high standards and commitment to excellence, and that they protect and strengthen your reputation.

Be brilliant in every word. "Jennifer is a complete joy to work with as she employs a great deal of respect, knowledge, and skill in the editing process. Her timeliness and professionalism helped me climb a mountain of challenges and made all the difference in preparing my project for publication." ~ Rebekah Allen, Publication Manager, Canadian Historical Fiction (Published 2017)

Writing and editing is my passion. For more than 20 years, I have been writing for companies, authors, magazines, print and websites. I would be happy to guide you from an idea to a publication. Good writing is an art. Few investments reward as richly as well-chosen words.  In professional life, the difference between the right word and the almost right word can be measured by success. As an independent communications consultant I understand the power of the written word and know how to use it.

Writing is hard. I can help! PhD in History, most interested in proofreading, academic editing, and citation and reference formatting, but open to diverse projects. Let's talk! 🙂
