Bio
Marguerita McManus
I am an independent writer and self publisher and I won't publish another book without Christine's assistance - her work means that much to me. She has taken two good books (they were already getting good reviews) and made them clearer, more concise, better organized, and of course grammatically correct. I am now even more proud of my books than ever because of her work. In fact, after the editorial work she did on my newest book, I sent her a book that had been on the market for a year, and her corrections and improvements to both books are outstanding. Her work is incredibly valuable to anyone writing in the non-fiction genre. I may even try and talk her into editing novels rather than work with someone else. Working with Christine removes all fear that my books could be criticized for any editorial or organizational issues, which is a big concern in these days of five-star ratings and social media. I agree with every single recommendation that Christine marks on my manuscripts, and she makes many! She takes the time to completely understand the concepts I write about and that is the core of what makes her the very best editor you could ever hire. I'd give up my computer before I'd give up working with Christine.

Obviously it is no easy job to oversee all aspects of a craft publishing operation—from acquisitions to production to sales and beyond… budgeting, scheduling, and planning multiple projects from several seasons at a time—but Christine makes it look effortless and fun. She succeeds by applying ample business smarts, great optimism, and plenty of creativity to every undertaking. Without a doubt, Christine has a genuine passion for her subject matter and a lot of heart for those who work with her.
