About

Hello, and welcome to GS Editing.

I’m Griffin Smith, a book editor and publishing consultant with over 15 years of developmental editing, line editing, and publishing experience.

I have worked as a freelance developmental editor for many book publishers, including Barnes and Noble, William Morrow, Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, and Tor/Forge, among others.

When I’m not wearing my editor’s hat, you’ll find me playing ukulele on my lanai in Hawaii or skiing the blue groomers in Park City, Utah.

I specialize in editing fiction (e.g., Crime/Thriller, Science fiction/Fantasy, Dystopian, Action/Adventure, and other genres) as well as creative nonfiction (Memoirs & Biographies).

I offer services in:

  • Developmental editing
  • Substantive editing
  • Manuscript editing
  • Structural editing
  • Line editing
  • Copyediting
  • Proofreading

I work with first-time writers looking to publish, as well as veteran authors to forge their fiction into magnificent, salable works of art.

I will edit your story completely.

That means I’ll do an editorial assessment, developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading.

I also offer assisted publishing services. This means after the editing process, I can help you publish your book.

I’ll walk you through the hurdles of cover design, formatting, and self-publishing. I’ll show you how and personally help you make your story into an eBook, paperback, and audiobook.

Allow me to apply my professional editing experience. I will help you take your story from manuscript to market.

I did not pick Griffin because he was the least expensive. I picked him because of his professional response. He was very precise as to what I could expect and he really delivered. I could tell he truly read every line I wrote and was very specific with the critique of every line; chapter; and overall development. I wasn’t looking to be stroked. I was looking for an honest evaluation and professional direction on how to “fix” the problem areas. Again, Griffin delivered. Also, he is very responsive. I never had to wait for a return call.
