FICTION & NON-FICTION EDITING BIBLIOGRAPHY
Below are several recent editing projects I’ve handled. These are highlights. Many of the pieces I’ve worked on over the years were done as ‘ghost’ projects. I’ve also worked for years as a screenwriting ghost editor, but those all have NDAs attached to them. If you’re interested in having me edit a piece of yours, please contact me through this site. Thank you for reading.
You can also find me on FIVVER!

The Narrow Road of Light by Marie Curry
“John did an incredible job editing my book The Narrow Road of Light. It took someone with a special heart and soul to do the task and I believe it was divine intervention that I found him. He’s an extraordinary writer and I am forever in his debt.” —Marie Currie

A Thousand Doors by Francis Y. Barel
“John was very reactive to my initial request, was very flexible, and then delivered in no-time with great results! I can’t wait to give him my next manuscript to review.” —Francis Y. Barel
“John Palisano really helped me with my manuscript. He did a lot of great work with his editing, smoothing it out and making it look much better. He was also generous with his very helpful advise and encouraging in his praise.” — Riki Schroedl
“Thank you so very much for all your helpful notes and feedback. Your attention to detail is unmatched.” — Jessica Stevens
“John was amazing! He really helped me get my manuscript to industry standard as I sent it to publishers! He was quick, efficient, polite, professional and just overall great! I hope to work with him again in the future!” — George Morris De’Ath
“Just want to give a public shout-out to my friend John Palisano. He helped me edit my upcoming SHADOWDAYS book, and improved the language (and sometimes the intent behind the language) quite a bit. It felt really great to have somebody with his talents take a close look at it and comb through it, even catching sensitivity issues and stuff like that. If you’re needing an editor, you can’t go wrong with this guy. THANK YOU, JOHN!!!!” — Polly Schattel
