About Sara C. Bixler

---

With over a dozen years of publishing experience at imprints of Penguin Books and as a freelance editor in New York City and the California bay area, I am a skilled and detail-oriented content and line editor, with a focus on literary fiction, Latinx fiction, memoir, narrative non-fiction, and nature/outdoor writing.

Based in beautiful Sonoma County, I offer an array of multi-layered services, from a thorough content edit to guidance with a book proposal to an ongoing editorial relationship with an author during the writing process from beginning to end.  I bring years of hands-on expertise and a deep appreciation and affection for the written word to every project.  

Consistent and honest communication is crucial to the writer's creative process and the success of the author-editor connection.  I firmly believe in the need to establish mutual trust and an aesthetic commonality before embarking on the focused work of editorial midwifery.  

Over the years, it has been my pleasure and honor to work with many writers of effective and powerful prose, helping them to share important stories with readers everywhere.
