Anne M. Hicks, Editing Services

I believe in the power of your words.  My recipe for a great novel, story, memoir, poem, or any creative work you wish to share with others … one part passion, one part talent, and one part editing.  As a writer, I know how hard it is to publish — and I know that the more polished the piece is, the better your chances are of getting published.  I believe, no matter how good we are as writers, we always need a good editor.

I offer content review, I read for consistency and accuracy throughout, and I provide line-by-line grammatical editing.  Having spent more than 20 years in graphic design, I am also adept at cover designs and inside layout of your book.

My background: I’ve been writing since I was 12 years old.  With undergraduate and graduate degrees in the fields of creative writing and literature, I have learned much about editing and the importance of good feedback.  Through on the job training and running my own business for 15+ years, I’ve been immersed in editing and graphic design.  I’ve worked for many individuals, spent all that time as a contractor with First Union (then “Wachovia” and now “Wells Fargo”), so I’m at home with technical writing and editing as well.

And, as executive editor and publisher of moonShine review, I continue to learn each and every day what it is to be a better editor — and how to provide feedback in an honest and kind manner.

For me, the process of getting there truly is as important as the final product.  I am here to assist you.  There is nothing more compelling — or vitalizing — to me than a satisfied client.
