When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade! But first you\u2019ve got to squeeze them and zest them and add just the right amount of sugar\u2026 Just when you\u2019ve got the mixture absolutely perfect, some bossy know-it-all comes along and tells you it tastes bad.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the experience a lot of authors expect when they approach an editor \u2013 their hard-won words being heartlessly picked over, criticized and judged. That doesn\u2019t have to be the case. The reason we\u2019re in the business of editing is that we LOVE books. We live for them. We are to manuscripts what crazy cat ladies are to kittens \u2013 we want to play with them, nurture them and watch them grow into gorgeous, quirky, unique beings. We love books, so we love writers, and we want you to succeed.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why approaching an editor doesn\u2019t have to be an intimidating experience. We\u2019ll work with you to make sure your prose sizzles and your characters jump off the page. We\u2019ll nurse you through writer\u2019s block and discouraging reviews. And when you gain readers, reviewers and sales, we\u2019ll celebrate right along with you.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been thinking about hiring an editor but have questions or concerns or don\u2019t know what to expect, drop us an email\u00a0and let us know what we can do to help you.<\/p>\n

Lemonade Ladies Business Statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n Following layoffs from Ellora\u2019s Cave, a group of editors has been left with too much time on their hands and not enough demand for their red pens.<\/p>\n Well, we believe that when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.<\/p>\n We are fiction editors with years of professional experience in a variety of genres, who have had the great good fortune to work with some incredibly talented authors. We would love to provide editorial services for your self-publishing ventures, or for stories that are still looking for a loving forever home. We believe strongly in the importance of author\/editor relationships, high editorial standards, honest and open communication, fair pricing, and transparency.<\/p>\n We also have a great relationship with some outrageously talented freelance cover artists.<\/p>\n Lemonade Ladies: <\/strong>Twitter<\/a> | Tumblr<\/a> | Email<\/a><\/p>\n Follow all the updates for this blog by visiting and liking The All The Things Inbetween Facebook page.
