Meet the Editors
Wendy Chorot
|
Wendy Chorot has been an editor for several
years, working full-time for Inspiration for Writers since 2004.
Her special interests are children's and young adult novels (including
fantasy), Christian fiction and nonfiction, commercial fiction,
political and historical fiction, tell-alls, and memoirs. Her
children's stories have won awards and been published in literary
journals. Mom to a 5-year-old, 14-year-old, and 20-year-old,
she's married to a Frenchman, so although she grew up in Kansas
City, she now lives in the beautiful French Alps. There's nothing
like looking out the window on a cool morning over a cup of chicory
and seeing the majestic Alps to start a day right. |
| As a published author
I depend on Wendy to be my extra pair of eyes. She sees what
I dont. Right now, shes helping me with a Victorian
romance called Elegance and Grace. She provides the elegance
and grace needed to write good prose. Id be lost without
her. Thank you, Wendy!~ Alexandra Blake |
| Not only did Wendy clean
up my work with a professional and perceptive touch, she helped
spruce up my writing by gently offering tips and articles on
how to advance my skills. She's a class act; someone I look forward
to working with again. ~ Russell Victorian, former newspaper
publisher and author of Yellow Knife. |
Rhonda White
|
Rhonda Browning White resides near Orlando,
Florida with her husband Randy and son Jacob, after retiring
from 20+ years in the medical field to follow her dream of writing.
Her work has appeared in WV Executive, Mountain Voices, Thrive,
Gambit, The Seeker, Mountain Echoes: The Best of the First Year,
Bluestone Review, Justus Roux, in the literary anthologies
Seeking the Swan and Mountain Voices: Illuminating
the Character of West Virginia, and in newspapers across
several states. She has received numerous awards for her prose
and poetry, including an award for her first novel, Birthright.
Rhonda has edited a wide variety of published books and professional
papers, ranging from thrillers and romance novels to childrens
books, university textbooks and doctorate dissertations. |
| When my manuscript was
returned, it was clear Rhonda had poured over every page with
a diligent eye and ear. I am now progressing on to the next phase--character
development, overarching themes and the well-needed reminder
of basic formatting rules. The assistance provided by Rhonda
was instrumental in taking me from the ourpouring phase of writing
to a structured, goal-oriented mode. I'm thrilled. ~ Lisa Dekis,
author, Dreams of Igor |
| Rhonda took the vision
I had for my manuscript and edited it so that everything I had
hoped to create was right before my eyes. I was so excited to
see my dreams of Faith Town be born, and it happened because
of Rhonda. I wouldn't have any problem highly recommending her.
~Cindy Tuttle, author of Joyful Surrender |

of humor, and the way she has spurred me on to improve my writing
in many ways. ~ Elma Schemenauer, author of 70 published books

My first piece of writing
was critiqued by Sandi Rog, and that was the
beginning of my writing life. She introduced me to a world of
writing I'd
never known before. Sandi has encouraged me, advised me and taught
me, all while giving thorough, concise and honest critiques of
my work. I don't know where I'd be without her. ~ Karin A. Lovold,

| After a lot of research
in the market, I decided to mail Sandy my novel to proof and
critique. What she sent back two weeks later stunned me. Not
only had she ferreted out numerous pesky errors that my diligent
friends had missed, but she also provided a wealth of insightful
commentary. This may be a talent other editors possess, but the
positive and sensitive way in which Sandy did this work makes
her a stand-out in a very competitive field. I can think of no
better name for her business than Inspiration for Writers. ~

| I shopped for an editor
much the same as I would shop for a car: I got samples from several
editors. Sandys work stood out. Her enthusiasm caught my
attention right away, but it was what she brought to my story
that determined my choice. She went a step beyond all of the
others. She brought a personal interest to my story, making detailed
suggestions that resonated with my vision of the work. She treated
my work in a sensitive and thorough manner, ferreting out mistakes
that many critique partners had missed. With so many ruthless
individuals out there preying on inexperienced writers, it is
nice to find someone with Sandys integrity. Her service
offers value beyond what you will find elsewhere. ~ Sherry Wilson,
Ontario, Canada, author, Recipe for Adventure |
