Editorial services
As well as having many years' experience as an editor of reference books (for which see the non-fiction page), David has provided editorial services for numerous publishers and fellow-authors, a good number of them being debut novelists and short-story writers. A few examples of fiction that he has edited are shown here. Please note that as he is currently concentrating upon writing and narrating duties he is not at present available as an editor/compiler.
What authors say:
“David’s editing skills are essential to the success of my books. He sees things I miss. He finds the weakness in my work I pretend not to see and subtly advises me how to make it stronger. He respects me as a writer by not rewriting what I do but rephrases and rewords sympathetically the work I have spent hours crafting. If it wasn’t for him I suspect my sales would be considerably lower.” – L.B.
