Arlene Prunkl Freelance Editor	I'm Arlene Prunkl. In editing, as in every aspect of my life, I am at once a classicist and a romantic. I value structure, style, substance and creativity equally. I'm passionate about my work as a freelance editor and am an ardent advocate of proper use of the English language. I'm always seeking to combine my skills and philosophy with those of others who have a similar passion for and dedication to excellence in written communications. I’ve edited almost 60 books on subjects ranging from Anthropology to Zen Buddhism and for authors in places as far-flung as Saudi Arabia and Swaziland in southern Africa. I specialize in working with first-time, self-publishing authors. The book-publishing business can seem like a complex undertaking, but it doesn’t have to be. With my editorial expertise, guidance and gentle advice, you’ll find it a hassle-free and rewarding experience. I’ll help you avoid costly pitfalls and delays, ensuring that you’ll enjoy your journey on the road to self-publishing your first book. Together, we’ll make your book the very best it can be. Welcome!—to my world of words.
