Jane Smith: Editor, Author and Librarian
|
II’m a Queensland-based editor, author and librarian with a Graduate Certificate in Editing and Publishing from the University of Southern Queensland.
As a published author myself, I understand what a writer needs from an editor. I’ll treat your manuscript respectfully and communicate closely with you to ensure you end up with a work that you’ll be proud of. I’m a professional member of the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd) and I have experience in editing fiction and non-fiction for adults and children, as well as master’s theses. Three of my books have been nominated for literary awards. I’ve contributed book reviews to Magpies Magazine and I have a sound knowledge of the book industry from the perspective of a writer, reviewer and editor. |
