As an editor, I work closely with writers, publishers, and book coaches to sculpt rough drafts into promising manuscripts. My extensive experience across genres, technical knowledge of writing structure and mechanics, and attention to detail make me the perfect collaborator for emerging and experienced authors alike. In addition to my passion for editing, I teach Advanced Placement Literature to students earning university credit; my additional experience includes work as a theatre script reader, stage manager, and literary magazine editor.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta elementor-has-image elementor-testimonial-image-position-top\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/changeempire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Team-Steffannie-Alter.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-892\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/changeempire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Team-Steffannie-Alter.jpg 500w, https:\/\/changeempire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Team-Steffannie-Alter-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/changeempire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Team-Steffannie-Alter-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-name\">Steffanie <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-job\">Editor<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-176beb1\" data-id=\"176beb1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fee0629 sticky-cta-widget elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fee0629\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.14.0 - 26-06-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-text-editor.elementor-drop-cap-view-stacked .elementor-drop-cap{background-color:#69727d;color:#fff}.elementor-widget-text-editor.elementor-drop-cap-view-framed .elementor-drop-cap{color:#69727d;border:3px solid;background-color:transparent}.elementor-widget-text-editor:not(.elementor-drop-cap-view-default) .elementor-drop-cap{margin-top:8px}.elementor-widget-text-editor:not(.elementor-drop-cap-view-default) .elementor-drop-cap-letter{width:1em;height:1em}.elementor-widget-text-editor .elementor-drop-cap{float:left;text-align:center;line-height:1;font-size:50px}.elementor-widget-text-editor .elementor-drop-cap-letter{display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<p>If you are ready to take action on your book idea, let&#8217;s talk<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/changeempirebooks.as.me\/InitialChat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Book Now<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team Having published 8 books, Mary has achieved Amazon international best-selling author status multiple times and received several awards for writing, including international awards for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
