Our staff includes a diverse mix of editors, literary agents, writing coaches, screenwriters, ghostwriters, and publishing consultants who work with our authors directly to provide as much or as little support as is needed to bring your project to fruition. Many of us are successfully published writers or have experience acquiring and editing books for major New York publishers. Others are experienced writing teachers with a passion for nurturing creativity and helping writers realize your own creative vision at the highest level possible.

Our editors specialize in providing concrete guidance and clear direction, first in making your manuscript as good as it can be, then in getting it published, and finally in giving it the best chance of success in the marketplace. Whether you’re working on your first book or your fifteenth, whether your goal is traditional or independent publication, whether you’ve got a rough draft teeming with potential or a polished final draft that’s ready to find its readership, The Editorial Department is uniquely qualified to help you succeed.

Our clients range from bestselling authors with loyal readerships to new writers who are just starting out on their writing journeys. You can learn more about their books here and the literary agents and publishers who brought them to fruition here.

One especially satisfying affirmation of the quality of books we have edited comes in the form of praise for our clients’ novels from authors such as Allison Brennan, Lee Child, Clive Cussler, J.T. Ellison, Lisa Gardner,  Jim Harrison, Susan Isaacs, and Stephen King.  Rave reviews can be found in publications that include, Booklist, Chicago Tribune, Entertainment Weekly, Kirkus, New York Times, Library Journal, People Magazine, Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Times (UK), Washington Post, and many more.

If you’re considering working with a professional editor and feel we may be a good fit for you, the first step is to contact Ross Browne in the Tucson office. You can do this by phone at (520) 546-9992, by email at admin@editorialdepartment.com, or by visiting our online welcome center, where you can upload your manuscript and answer a few questions that will help us assess what you have and which editor(s) and service(s) may be most appropriate for your needs.

Once Ross receives all the information he needs to make a recommendation, he will contact you to discuss your options for moving forward, introduce the recommended editor(s), and provide a written quote for any pertinent service(s). At this point in the process, there’s never any cost or obligation, and Ross will be happy to answer any questions and customize the proposed editorial course, based on your project’s unique needs.
