Why Choose 529Books?
Having been in the business for ten years, I understand the importance of personalizing each author’s experience and creating a safe and inspiring environment.
I understand that every writer has their own vision for their work. I don’t want to change that. My goal is to work alongside you to bring that vision to life. This involves getting to know both you and your work— something I am committed to doing.
I’m the editor that cares! This makes the experience more vulnerable—because the tough questions are asked and addressed—but this is how an authentic partnership is formed, and the best material is created.
There is no genre my team and I haven’t explored. We’ve worked on projects ranging from self-heps to memoirs to dystopian works and children’s books. This exposure enables me to tackle your work with a variety of perspectives and skillsets.
In an age where works need to be completely realtered to fit “a bill,” we thrive on editing with originality and intention to bring out the best in your project.
Don’t take our word for it…
