Barbara worked for Knight Ridder Newspapers as a feature writer, interviewing notable people and writing a sailing column. She became an editor and then editor-in-chief. She works with writers, doing everything from basic line-editing to plot and character development to complete manuscript evaluation. She can help you produce a dynamite query letter, do a book summary, or expertly guide you through the process of writing a non-fiction book proposal. And if you need it, she is a writing coach, or can even ghost write your book. Besides enjoying what Miamians call Paradise, Barbara and her kids are dog and cat lovers and rescuers.
