Toni Briegel
Prose and Polish Editing (P & P Editing)
Dr. Toni Briegel has been an educator, writer, and editor for an embarrassing number of years. Recently retired after spending 14 years as a professor at Zayed University in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, she began a free-lance editing business. Her published books range from edited volumes of academic research to poetry. Her degrees are in English, Reading, and Curriculum and Instruction. She attended film school and interned at the University of Arkansas Press. She has served as editor for several educational journals and has edited student papers ranging from first attempts at writing short paragraphs to doctoral dissertations. Her interests are eclectic and she has experience editing academic articles, (including dissertations), children’s books, personal memoirs, novels, coffee table books, newspaper articles—the list goes on.
“I try to be very supportive of my authors. I understand completely that my job as an editor is to make them look their best in print without changing their personal voice. Editing is as much of an art as writing. As a published author myself, I understand both the need for good editors and the sensitivity and unique skills required to be a good editor.”
Indexing is a special interest of Dr. Briegel.
