Another new venture - I'm opening my own professional editing service! Here is the "official" announcement: Lara M. Zeises is the author of several award-winning novels for young adults, including BRINGING UP THE BONES, CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE, and ANYONE BUT YOU, all through Delacorte Press. In addition, Lara writes what she calls "brainy chick lit with soul" under a pseudonym for an imprint of Penguin/Putnam. She has worked closely as a critique partner for several successful YA authors, including Laurie Faria Stolarz (of the best-selling Blue is for Nightmares series), Kim Ablon Whitney (SEE YOU DOWN THE ROAD), and Tea Benduhn (GRAVEL QUEEN). She's also mentored student authors who've gone on to sign contracts with major imprints like Wendy Lamb Books, and one who was recently awarded the prestigious Writer-in-Residency at the Boston Public Library. Lara's service will include: - in-depth line edits Although she prefers to work with full manuscripts, Lara would consider editing a partial MS if the project is far enough along and the premise interests her. The cost for this personalized attention is $3 per properly formatted, double-spaced manuscript page. Re-reads of the reworked project will be offered at a substantial discount. Lara's CV, which outlines her education, publication history, and awards, is available upon request, as are testimonials. Happy end-of-summer, everyone!
