“When a writer takes on the task of exploring the world of the spirit, she has invited a process that will change her permanently. If she has done her work well, it will change her readers too.”  (Vinita Hampton Wright)

Marcia Ford is a veteran Christian book editor, ghostwriter, and published author with a deep passion for books that explore diverse perspectives on living a life of faith—especially in today’s turbulent world. She works closely with authors to ensure their stories are told with honesty, clarity, and vulnerability, .helping them reach and resonate with the readers who most need their message.

With over 30 published books under her name and many more as an editor or ghostwriter, Marcia brings extensive experience to every project. She offers:

• Editorial guidance for first-time authors navigating the publishing process
• Detailed manuscript evaluations to identify opportunities for improvement
• Professional line and copy editing for books ready for final polish and correction
• Book proposal development to help pitch book ideas to literary agents and publishers

“As a journalist at a daily New York-area newspaper, I discovered that I wanted to be in the trenches—at first, reporting the news and then as an editor on the deadline desk. All these years later, I feel I’m still in the trenches, helping authors wrestle with their manuscripts until they’re ready for publication. It gives me great joy when a client finally holds a copy—digital or print—of their published work.” ~ Marcia Ford
