Mary E. Neighbour
MediaNeighbours.com
Some call Mary E. Neighbour a “book shepherd,” though Mary wields a blue pencil far more expertly than a herding rod. For the past ten years, she and her husband have helped dozens of writers bring their manuscripts to the marketplace, through MediaNeighbours, their publishing services business, where they edit, design, and assist authors through the entire self-publishing process.
Passionate about helping authors make their work shine in the world, with a combined professional expertise of over fifty years in editing and design, this family team is one you’ll want to adopt as your guide through the challenging world of independent publishing. They help books win awards, including the Ben Franklin, Eric Hoffer, IPPY, Nautilus, and NIE.
Mary’s other passion is learning about the history of slavery and how it impacts race relations today. She incorporated much of her research into her novel, Speak Right On: Conjuring the Slave Narrative of Dred Scott.
