My editing business, Elliott Editorial Online (https://www.elliotteditorial.com), was established in May 2003. Based in Chapel Hill, NC, it offers the following services and specialties: ghostwriting, developmental editing, substantive editing, copyediting, and proofreading of fiction; literary nonfiction; general nonfiction; literary criticism; master’s theses and PhD dissertations; textbooks on law, criminal justice, and political science; and textbooks for teachers.

I am particularly interested in coaching writers of fiction and literary nonfiction in developing and editing their works for publication. In addition, I relish the prospect of editing academic manuscripts for graduate students, as well as professors.

My clients have included BOOKMARKS MAGAZINE (Berkeley, CA); Carolina Academic Press (Durham, NC); Harcourt (San Diego);  Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill; the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing (Madison, WI); and many novelists and short story writers.

As an author, you need an advocate to make your book or journal manuscript the best it can be. I am that advocate; I am on your side. If you would like to work with me as your ghostwriter, developmental editor, substantive editor, or copy editor, please feel free to contact me either by email (managingeditor@elliotteditorial.com) or by telephone: (919) 869-7382. I look forward to hearing from you.
