Brittany J. Vincent

To be a great editor, first you have to be an experienced reader. From an early age and throughout my life, I’ve been captivated by the written word and countless stories full of heart and imagination. As my literary interests evolved, I found myself examining what elements of a story make it successfully resonate with me and my fellow bookworms and how those aspects can be improved upon throughout the writing process.

For over a decade, I’ve been a beta reader to aspiring authors and gained experience in children’s editorial imprints at both Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins. I've worked for such publishers as Marshall Cavendish Education, RosettaBooks, and Penguin Random House, as well. I am a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a BA in Communications and Public Relations. I also have an MS in Publishing degree from Pace University and am currently a senior proofreader at a Fortune 5 company. My passion is to use my years of experience and honed skills to help authors like you to effectively polish, perfect, and publish your best work. To view my full résumé, please visit my LinkedIn profile.

In addition to nearly a decade of hands-on experience, I’m an official member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) and the American Copy Editors Society (ACES). I consider myself a lifelong learner and actively continue my professional development by attending relevant educational workshops, webinars, and panels to stay abreast of advances within the industry.

When I’m not editing or working my way through my bottomless to-be-read pile, I volunteer with Junior League of Manatee County, a women's leadership and community impact organization helping to spread awareness of and alleviate food insecurity among children. On my days off, you'll most likely find me either at a local coffee shop sipping a latte or at the beach hoping to spot a mermaid!
