Where Do You Work/Nosh?

January 12, 2020 by Nancy LaFever Leave a Comment

As a work-at-home editor/writer/author coach, I tend to become a tad uncivilized and antisocial. As in, “How many days have I worn this sweatshirt?” Or I’ll catch myself asking the pup questions that are above her reading level and pay grade.

Oregon Coast: The Pull of Paradise

November 8, 2016 by Nancy LaFever Leave a Comment

Like most serendipitous life events, meeting author Alice Lewis, editing her book, becoming friends, and falling in love with her village of Yachats, Oregon, did not follow a linear path. But these occurrences began when I took on the edit of Lewis’ work-in-progress, “Ghosts of Yachats.” Billed as a paranormal romance/ghost story, I wasn’t sure what to expect from that unique genre description. Lewis and I met via email and discussed the work required to hit that coveted finish line of publication.

Praise

Nancy’s one of the best professionals I’ve worked with in years. As an editor, she excels at communication, her work is thorough, and she offered some genuinely great feedback. But all of that is expected when hiring a professional. What wasn’t expected were the follow-up emails, the congratulations message on release day, and the genuine care she displayed for my work long after she’d already been paid. That personal attention and follow-up is really what makes the experience of working with Nancy special.

— Alan Lastufka, author of the multiple award-winning horror/thriller, “Face the Night”
