Richard Willett
I have been a freelance copy editor and proofreader for about thirty years, working for a number of major New York publishers, including Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, and Penguin Random House. In that time I have worked on many types of books, including especially show business and other biographies, military and other history, politics, genre fiction (Westerns, mysteries, sci-fi/fantasy, romance), women’s fiction and nonfiction, self-help, and cookbooks. I am now branching out and beginning to work more and more with individuals on their independent projects. I am also an award-winning produced playwright/screenwriter and published author who has done extensive work giving notes and guidance to other writers on their developing work.
