Hi, I'm Linda G. Hatton. I work from my home office in the Los Angeles area. My education includes a copyediting certificate from University of California, San Diego; classes in developmental editing, manuscript evaluation, proofreading, and book mapping; and poetry, short story, and novel writing, including middle grade and young adult genres.
I also have an MFA in writing (with a focus on novel writing) from Goddard College. I've judged over 2,500 short screenplays, stories, and books for NYC Midnight, Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book & E-Book Awards, Saugus Union School District (PTA Reflections), the Writer’s Digest Poem-a-Day Challenge, and the Independent Publishers of New England (IPNE) Book Awards.
My theatrical background (including my education in acting from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts) has given me a good understanding of character development along with an intuitive sense I use in my editing.
Fiction genres I have edited include mystery, fantasy, romance, children’s books, and more. Non-fiction topics include health, self-improvement, and medical procedures; film trivia and facts for app and web content; and biography and memoir.
I invite you to check out my LinkedIn profile or to contact me directly to discuss your project.
I look forward to working with you!
