Rose Winters: Certified Copy Editor Do you have a book that is written but needs tweaking? A speech that needs help? A Blog that needs a once-over? Hi! I'm Rose, and I LOVE to help writers polish their finished novels! As an editor for Napa Valley Writers and a novelist myself, I will take your first draft and help you get it publish-worthy. I will NEVER change your words. I WILL make suggestions to bring your book to a new level with ​the ultimate goal of capturing an agent's/publisher's attention! Let's get you published! THINGS I CAN'T DO (aw snap): I am not a ghostwriter, so for book writers, please only send complete manuscripts. (I'll get them all pretty and polished up!) I am not a legal editor, so please, no court cases!

I am a bay area based portrait photographer. I am passionate about image making and photographing people. If you want dynamic cinematic images that make you look your best I know I can help you. Whether you need executive head shots, personality photos that capture you in the moment, model portfolio images, performance images, actor head shots or family portraits, I will work closely with you to find out exactly what you need and produce the best photographic images. I love interacting with people! I find that through genuine interaction I am able to tease out the essence of someone and capture it on film. I really enjoy that process of finding more about someone and making art from that personal experience.

Not all editors are the same. I DO NOT USE CHAP GPT ! Editing is a skill that requires finely tuned skills that AI is unable to achieve. What makes a great editor is someone who listens carefully to what you need. Listening skills combined with expertise in editing is a winning combination. I am that editor. I listen and deliver. Who better to edit your manuscript than a very experienced editor? I have been working as an editor for more than 30 years. My skills are unmatched given the broad range of areas I work in, from screenplays to dissertations, from memoirs to self-help books, from nonfiction to fiction. Each genre requires a different skill set and I have developed these skills over my very successful career. However, I am not qualified to edit poetry, which requires a different skill set. And if you are looking for help writing university applications it’s best you look elsewhere. I know my limitations and I will be upfront should you ask for something that I am unable to do. I use Word and Google Docs for straightforward editing and I use Final Draft for screenplays. I do not do formatting as that requires a different skill set. I received professional training when I started my career in copy editing 30 years ago. I have continued to work as a copy editor and proofreader, and writer when the documents needs some refinement. I'll make suggestions that you can accept or reject. You have the final say. If there is a better way to say something, I will say it. If the organization of the document needs some help, I will tweak it. If your document needs to follow APA or MLA or Turabian, I will follow the guidelines. Leave it to me! Please read my reviews. My clients can vouch for my professionalism and timeliness. If you'd like to chat with any of them, I can put you in touch. My fees are fair and I will work within your budget. I am open to negotiate the fee depending on the size of the project, how complicated the project is and your turnaround time. My minimum charge is $150. I am ready to move forward. I have never missed a deadline and will keep you informed of my progress. I am located on the West Coast and will respond to all communication in a timely manner. I start at 8 am Pacific Coast time. I enjoy my work and always look forward to taking on new projects.
