Patricia J. Esposito

Welcome to E-grammar-editing’s copyediting and proofreading Web site. I’m a writer and an editor who has worked for book publishers, textbook publishers, and national magazines, as well as individuals trying to sell their first novel, and--like you perhaps--I’ve been creating my first Web site right here and am putting final revisions on my latest novel.

My experience includes

• a Master’s Degree in English from Dominican University, River Forest, IL, graduating magna cum laude;

• member of the National English Honors Society, Lambda Iota Tau;

• copyediting, proofreading, and compiling textbooks, from elementary math to high school language arts, for publishers such as Houghton Mifflin, McDougal Littel, and Scott Foresman;

• copyediting and proofreading fiction and nonfiction titles for Sourcebooks, Inc.;

• copyediting and proofreading agent proposals, Web sites, and technical reports, as well as individual fictional works in progress;

• managing editor for Scott Periodicals, editing and proofreading three national trade magazines in the plumbing and HVAC fields.

My publications include

• Beside the Darker Shore, a vampire novel due out with Eternal Press in 2011;

• short stories in the anthologies Apparitions and Lights of Love, among other past and upcoming anthologies;

• fiction and poetry in the literary and speculative publications Rose and Thorn, Clean Sheets, Hungur, Byline, Midnight Street, Sounds of the Night, and Karamu, among others;

• first place poems in the Rhino Reader/Writer poetry contest and honorable mentions in Ellen Datlow's The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror.

I am always eager to meet new writers and foster the creative side in all of us. Please feel free to Contact Me with any questions you might have.
