ABOUT ME
My name is A. Brailow and I am a professional book editor.
​
I work in a wide variety of project types and genres including memoirs, self-help, cookbooks and craft books, urban fantasy, science fiction, and much more!
​
Works I've edited in the past include The Jobfather Chronicles: Breadcrumbs on the Trail of Right Livelihood and The Glint of the Luopan. I'm also the author of a poetry collection entitled The Castle that Never Forgets.
​
Some of my favorite books and personal recommendations are The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery, Persuasion by Jane Austen, The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, and Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenburg.

"I would like to heap praise upon A. Brailow's head! She's been an absolute godsend with my order and it's been an amazing experience to work with her. She's professional, offers support, advice, and assistance, and she's so easy to talk to that the nerves of being edited just disappear!" --A. Steenkamp
01
"If there's one thing I can say for A, it's that she works quickly and thoughtfully. Before she even began editing, she asked if there was anything extra to be aware of, showing her approach stretches beyond what is set down on paper. Before she signed off, the order edited and ready to go, she wrote a sincere thanks for all the work I'd done. It's a treat working with an editor who shows this concern and appreciation for their writers." -- G. Harvard.

“What I appreciate about A is that she really cares. I would like everyone to know her should they need a manuscript edited."
