"Hi, I'm Debbie B. I'm a professional editor with two specialties: academic and business writing, and manuscripts (fiction and nonfiction). My past experience includes being an award-winning editor of a business journal, the editor of a lifestyle magazine, and before that, a news writer and columnist.

I'm knowledgeable in AP, APA, MLA and the Chicago Manual of Style. Citations, footnotes, charts, figures, and graphs are no problem for me!

I have discovered that to be a truly impactful tutor, listening is the most important thing I can do: to observe how the student (school-aged or adult) uses language and to discern his or her style so that it can be communicated naturally and easily in writing.

In addition to tutoring writing, communications, desktop publishing, etc. I am also an author coach, where I teach various aspects of publishing such as book formatting, uploading to self-publishing platforms like Amazon KDP, querying publishers and literary agents, writing a synopsis and bio, and building an author platform.

You will find me to be reliable, friendly, and helpful. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule your first session. I look forward to hearing from you!

Debbie B." less...
