The Value of Debt: How to Manage Both Sides of a Balance Sheet to Maximize Wealth

Working with words since 2006

Welcome! If you're looking for an experienced book editor and writer, you've come to the right place.

In the last twelve years, I've edited more than 200
 book-length manuscripts: biographies, memoirs, educational texts, how-to books, self-help books, and more. I excel at hunting down wayward grammar, improving readability, ensuring consistency, and helping authors produce clear, engaging prose.
My consistently high-quality work has resulted in years of editing projects from several clients as well as requests to work on high-profile titles such as the New York Times best seller The Value of Debt.      
​​
My writing credits include children's biographies on Malcolm X and Pocahontas, an award-winning book on economies around the world, and a comprehensive resource for high school student-athletes. 

My goal is to help you polish and perfect your words and publish the best book possible. Contact me to discuss your project.

​​​"Please know how impressed I am with your level of expertise and attention to detail. . . . If your ears ring today, it's because I'm telling one of my friends how blessed I am to have you working on my behalf."

—Derek Cameron Phoenix, author
"Gail was wonderful to work with. She did a great job cleaning up our coaching manual, providing a clear voice and keeping us on track."
