I am Lenore Hietkamp, a professional editor and writer. I also take manuscripts to the printer, designing interior layouts and covers and publishing them, often in conjunction with my husband's publishing company.
I've been freelancing as an editor since 2000. After completing an MA in art history at the University of Victoria, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, I lived, worked and breathed as a PhD student for seven years. I specialized in the field of art and architectural history at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA, until I decided I had to do fulltime what I had been doing on and off for at least 10 years: editing, but editing as if it were my passion, my life's work. I still occasionally write and curate in my academic role.
That academic experience has given me a good understanding of how we humans communicate, which helped me decide to pursue a career as an editor.
The name of my business, Heatherfield Editing, derives from a rough translation of my Dutch last name.

Need a book published? Try Diamond River Books (http://diamondriver.ca), which specializes in ebooks. Chris Banner is my husband, so I'm biased, but if you need a book designed and published, either as an ebook or in the paper way, he's the guy. He works closely with the client, and doesn't charge an arm and a leg if you don't want to pay an arm and a leg.
