Pam's Story
Once upon a time, a friend—thriller author Steven James—handed Pam a draft of a manuscript and asked for feedback. She was hooked. That was the first of many books she edited for Steven, including most all of his novels.
In 2010, she started her freelance editing business: pamtheeditor.com. Her clients say she is thorough, insightful, and brutally honest.
When not editing, she is hanging out with her family, traveling around the world, or directing a show at her local community theatre in eastern Tennessee.
