Book Editor - Janice Beetle Books

Perhaps your book is done…

You’ve written it and edited it. You are on your ninth—or your twenty-second—manuscript draft, and you know it’s time to step back and let an objective editor take a look. I can edit with an eye toward ensuring the plot, subplots, and character development all hold together.

I call attention to flaws in fact, omission in detail, redundancies, and cliché. I can ensure your book will be a clearer, more concise read.

Once we complete this phase, which could take several reads through the manuscript, in an iterative process, I can copyedit your final manuscript.

Let’s get you started!

Flight of Integrity
By Peter Cichon with Janice Beetle

Peter Cichon spent countless hours daydreaming about leaving his trucking job behind to transition into a career at an airline. He worked sixty-five hours a week, living in his car on weekends, to make the transition in the early 1990s. His new career as a ramp agent exhilarated Peter and made him proud. He became a leader at his airline, where sexual harassment and racism were rampant. In addition to doing his job, Peter became a defender for colleagues who were beleaguered victims of a trio of aggressors. Standing against them was ultimately a major sacrifice. This novel, based on fact, tells Peter’s story.

Seasoned: A Memoir of Grief and Grace
By Tom Zink

This memoir is the story of Tom Zink’s unwitting grief journey of five decades that began when his older brother Steve was hit by a car and killed while on the paper route the two boys shared. But this is not merely a story of grief and recovery; it is also a poignant and, at times, humorous look at laughter and lightheartedness, winning and losing, and doubt and faith. Edited by Janice Beetle.
