A Wide Range of Services

In addition to consulting and writer coaching, Granat Editorial Services can perform:
I have a wide range of experience and more than 30 years of experience as a writer and editor. I began my editing career as a software documentation editor and have been editing books for nearly 15 years. Right out of college I worked as a newspaper reporter on a small weekly paper in Miami Beach, Florida, that was transitioning from being a weekly to a daily paper. After three years there covering City Hall and politics, I moved to several other organizations as a public relations writer. I returned to school in 1997 and earned a master's degree in technical and professional writing at Northeastern University in Boston. In all I've done professionally, the focus was editing.

“Ms. Granat has been my copy editor and proof reader for three scholarly articles and a 400-page book concerned with the psychology and neuropsychology of religious experience. She offers editorial services of the highest caliber. She is clear and prompt in her communications. She willingly goes the extra mile. I have felt complete confidence in asking her to serve as my go-between with publishers and editors.”
- David T. Bradford, MTh, PhD
“My book included a great deal of math, scientific language and technical diagrams. Bonnie was not intimidated by this material and did a good job of correcting language and making it more presentable. She made an extra effort to facilitate future changes, minimizing the work needed to go to paperback or e-book format when needed.” - Steve Watkins
“I was at a loss on how to find a good, professional editor until I found your webpage. After I submitted a section for evaluation I was very surprised at how quickly I received a response. Bonnie immediately sent a sample edit that was exactly what I was looking for. She corrected all the errors, typos, and pointed out all the flaws in flow and continuity, making excellent suggestions for improvement. I can't believe how much better the manuscript is now, and my confidence in what is written is much higher than just a couple of weeks ago. A first rate experience all round.” - Jay Adair
“Bonnie was wonderful---very professional in every regard. She provided precisely the thoughtful copyedit I needed. She made hundreds of small changes to improve the readability of the manuscript and to bring it into compliance with the CMOS. I just finished incorporating the much-needed major structural change she suggested. The turnaround time exceeded my expectations by far. I would definitely use her services again and/or recommend her to others." - (On file.)
“Bonnie made very good comments which helped to make my book much more readable and enjoyable for a general audience. Her comments were both of a localized and a more structural nature; the latter improved the flow so that the reader had a better understanding of where things stood at the end of each chapter. She also helped with interior formatting and overcame difficulties with Word that neither she nor I understood at first. It was a pleasure working with her and I would gladly work with her again as well as recommend her." - Raul Valdes-Perez, Author, Advice is for Winners, LLC
“My editor went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did she fix the flow, grammar and punctuation, she challenged me on what I wrote. It forced me to either stand behind or get rid of parts of my book. I really appreciated her passion and l look forward to working with her in the near future on my next book.” - Carlton Bogan, Certified Life Coach, The Gibbor Project
“I am completely satisfied with her work, and the extra effort she made to understand what I needed. It felt like she was around the corner in regards to how quickly she responded.” - Maria Flores (substance abuse counselor)

“Bonnie was great! She was very informative and clear as to the reasons for changes she suggested. Very bright and intuitive, it was a pleasure working with her and hope to do so again soon.” - (Contact information on request)
