Tiffany Perkinz
Perkinz with a Z Editorial
My name is Tiffany, and I live and work near the historic boomtown of Beaumont, Texas. I have an MA in English, an M.Ed in Education, and ten years of experience teaching literature and writing at the high school and college level. I currently work in higher education as the assistant director of study abroad and student exchange.
I edit books across multiple genres, including contemporary romance, mystery, thrillers, literary fiction, and memoirs/autobiographies. I prefer to edit the types of books I like to read, because I think we do the best work about the genres we’re excited about.
When I’m not writing, editing, or helping college students realize their dream of studying abroad, I like to spend time at home with my husband, kids, and cats–reading, watching movies, playing board games, or planning our next travel adventure.
And yes—my last name really does end with a “z”. Family lore is that in the early 1900s, one of my husband’s relatives moved from Tennessee to Texarkana, changed his profession from a lawyer to a farmer, and altered all of his legal documents to change the spelling of his last name from the traditional “s” to a “z”. It’s a longstanding family mystery that is on my bucket list to uncover and, perhaps, write a book about it.
