Elgin Area Referral Network - EARN Too

    After a 40-year career, mostly as an editor at the Daily Herald, I work as a freelance editor, providing developmental, content, and copy edits for TypeRight Editing (https://typerightediting.com/). I've edited memoirs; dystopian, suspense, and romance novels; professional athlete biographies; and non-fiction works on real estate, plastic surgery, politics, and foreign policy. Clients have publicly affirmed my editing has improved their work, and that I'm fun to work with.
    Coming soon: Personal history books. Margaret Brady, a seasoned and engaging interviewer, will meet with clients to video record their personal histories. I will turn the transcript into a compelling first- or third-person narrative life story. Margaret and I will create a professional-caliber keepsake book with an option to include photos.
