While this website is devoted to nonfiction editing, I really can't keep back some great news of my own, in my own role as a new author. First, Cloud River Press, my own imprint, will soon be publishing my novelette The Way of the Eagle: An Early California Journey of Awakening. This is a story very close to my heart, and every aspect of preparing it for press has been fascinating and, dare I say it, fun! Please visit my new website and blog, www.thewayoftheeagle.com, to learn more. My second exciting piece of news is that a nonfiction book I co-authored may soon be on its way to press with an excellent publisher. More specifics about this soon!

One observable result of the growing prevalence of print-on-demand publication services (and blogs) is that the quality of published writing, both in print and online, is suffering. There is a great deal more to the craft of writing clear, appropriate, stylish and error-free nonfiction prose than simply unburdening oneself into a computer. Thought, like musical notes, must be organized to communicate well, and writing errors inhibit readers' enjoyment and understanding - not to mention confidence in the writer!

No matter which route to publication you pursue, your final nonfiction manuscripts should be reviewed and edited by a professional editor, preferably one with experience in your publication category or genre. I invite you to go through my website to see how I work and contact me for further information.
