Editing for nonfiction writers with factual knowledge to share
Are you writing a nonfiction book – something data-driven and fact-based, aimed at the general reader?
Whatever your specialist subject is, your purpose is to share your deep knowledge with a wide audience.
You might be writing history or geography or an explanation of the law. Your work might be about the 21st century or to the second millennium BC. It is based on logic and reason and serves to help others better understand the world around us.
