A new site is here thanks to Parajunkee over at Parajunkee Design for all her hard work. She knows I am not the most tech-savvy, but that I do appreciate pretty things. And isn't the site pretty? Raw Book Editing was originally a hobby on the back of my old review blog, Raw Books, but when editing far surpassed the amount of time I had to devote to editing AND reviewing, Raw Books fell to the wayside. I give major props to book bloggers. It is a lot of time, money, and effort to keep one running successfully.
This site is primarily for my editing business, but you will see some reviews and thoughts on what I've been reading along the way. I also hope to post weekly writing tips based on what I see my clients need refreshers on in their work. I am a firm believer in continuing education. I don't care what field a person is in; everyone has room for improvement. I tell my children often, "If you're not growing, you're dying." And that applies to writers, especially. If you are not constantly seeking ways to improve your craft and grow your abilities, then why write? I love the written word. I love following an author and seeing their work grow and mature. It's always fun to go back and read an old release from an author and see how far they've come in their writing journey. As an editor, I take perverse pleasure in correcting and helping writers. I want my authors to be proud of what we produce together. I only work with those I believe in, so seeing them succeed gives me a sense of accomplishment and pride.
