Thank you for being a really great developmental editor, Linda, including helping me realize that this was the kind of editing I needed for my manuscript.

About me

I'm Linda Ruggeri, a bilingual freelance editor and award-winning author helping individuals, organizations, and publishers transform complex ideas into clear, compelling nonfiction.

Based in Northern California, I offer full-service editorial support across the entire publishing process—from developmental editing and structural feedback to line editing and copyediting.

 

I also provide professional English-Spanish translation reviews for clients who need their work to reach a broader audience.

 

My clients include first-time authors, seasoned writers, ghostwriters, corporate leaders, and publishing houses. My editorial work spans business, self-help, memoir, prescriptive nonfiction, and culinary works—bringing clarity and polish to every project.

 

I am an active member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA), the Publishing Professionals Network (PPN), and the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), where I serve as a nonfiction judge for their yearly awards.
