Author’s Bold Choice to “Novelize” Local History: The Oregon Beach Bill

April 3, 2023 by Nancy LaFever Leave a Comment

Praise

My work relationship with Nancy has been stellar. In 2020, when interviewing her to be my editor, I stressed that I needed someone who was not afraid to be brutally honest with me. I needed a demanding professorial type and that she’s been. But when she comes back to me, she brings great recommendations on how to improve … and she delivers them with a brilliant sense of humor! I am currently writing a piece that requires deep knowledge of the Civil Rights Era. As the editor, she has gone beyond what I’d consider the normal range of her editorial duties – she has researched facts, voice, capitalizations, etc. to make sure my writing is true–yet sensitive–to its time. I wholeheartedly recommend Nancy!
