Your Expert Editing Team
Put your book on the pedestal it deserves
Professional book editing calls for more than snagging grammar gremlins and correcting word trippers. Having your manuscript edited by a pro rewards you with—
a strengthened reputation as an expert, speaker, and authority
a cornerstone product for your business that presents your ideas with power, persuasion, and pizzazz
a vehicle for commanding higher fees and attracting the opportunities you want!
As the founder of Barbara McNichol Editorial, I am passionately committed to helping authors achieve accuracy and artistry, clarity and creativity through the written word. I’d love using my skills to put your book on the pedestal it deserves. I also give presentations that help writers fine-tune their skills and provide a word choice guide called Word Trippers.
Since starting this editorial service in 1994, I've edited hundreds of amazing life-changing books. You'll find many of them listed by category on the Portfolio page.
I gained my writing/editing skills in journalism school and in newspapers, PR firms, and corporations. Today, I specialize in editing articles, manuscripts, proposals, and one-sheets for accomplished entrepreneurs. Many of them belong to the National Speakers Association, Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, and Global Speakers Federation.
I also collaborate with a brilliant team of wordsmiths (meet them below) who add a mix of editorial talents to BME.
Enjoy the credibility authorship brings you with a well-edited book you can market with pride.
"Barbara and her team are fantastic. I've worked with them on
three of my bestsellers including Build a Business Not a Job: How to Build
Your Business to Sell, Scale, or Own Passively. They work fast, are
talented, and have been my secret ingredient to producing a finished manuscript
for my publishers in fewer than 90 days."
— David Finkel, Wall Street Journal best-selling author
