Carol Crawford Editing

Madeleine L'Engle said an artist cannot judge her own work because "we are caught within our own skins."

It's true. Trying to edit your own book is like hoping to see your face without a mirror.

An independent editor can help.

I offer a thorough, friendly, clear-eyed look at your

novel, memoir, or nonfiction book manuscript. I'll

tell you where your writing strengths are. And

I'll help you with those passages where readers

might get confused or find their attention wandering.

My goal is to clear away the obstacles and distractions

so that your voice as a writer comes through.
