Judith Arnold

Editor and Ghostwriter

Bio

From concept to completion, I help writers create, develop and perfect their novels, memoirs and narrative nonfiction. I've been editing (copy, line, and developmental) for 10 years and recently added ghostwriting to my skillset. Those years, plus another 20 teaching ESL and academic English, have given me a keen eye for everything from a misplaced apostrophe to a glaring plot hole. I work with all fiction genres but have a special love for speculative fiction, romance (all heat levels welcome), and stories that blend genres in creative ways. I also edit and ghostwrite memoirs, and I delight in collaborating with clients to help shape their experiences into powerful narratives. Credentials: Certificate in copyediting, MA in applied linguistics and English language teaching, BA in English and theatre. If you're working on a project and need an editor or ghostwriter, I'd love to chat! hello@wordservings.com https://wordservings.com
