Doug McNair
Fleming Editorial Services
I’m a lifelong reader and writer with decades of experience in editing and client service. After a career in financial services, I followed my dreams and became chief editor at a small publisher of history books and historical games. I honed my skills there for five years and then went independent to work with authors and publishers in a wide variety of fields. In more than a decade as a freelancer, I have edited and developed publications on business, finance, investing, economics, government, law, history, computer programming/IT, education, self-help, travel, and many other subjects.
When you hire me, you’ll have a project partner with a great depth of knowledge and experience plus a strong focus on meeting your needs. Whether you need writing, content development, development editing, copy editing, or proofreading, my first job is to understand your project goals and align my work with them. I’ll ask you questions and tell you about how I work so we can set clear expectations and agree on a project timeline. I’ll send you work samples, ask for feedback, make queries, suggest improvements, and keep you updated from start to finish. Finally, if you’re the author, I’ll always respect your voice—because it’s your book, not mine.
I’ll provide you with the professional-quality service you’re looking for. My goal is to help you make your book or other publication not only the best it can be but exactly what you want it to be.
