Okay, I admit it.
I am meticulous about grammar and punctuation when I edit books and ebooks. But casual, conversational writing can be central to creating connection, sounding authentic, and drawing an image or delivering a message, too. The two are not mutually exclusive. Consistent, clean copy removes the distractions for your reader, making everything go down easy. At the same time, you can express your unique voice so you are truly heard.

"A great editor masters the art of staying far enough away to see what is invisible to the author and needs work, yet close enough to hear their author's heart and tell their story as if it were their own. No one does this better than Diane Eaton. I am forever grateful to have been gifted with her expertise and her heart."
Hajah Kandeh / Author, Daughter of 1000 Stars
"The biggest applause goes to my editor, Diane Eaton. Her sharp eyes and insightful edits polished my book to make it the best it can be. She has my deepest gratitude!"
