Introduce Yourself : Literary Editing and Lyricist by Rosalind Winton

Hi Everyone :) I live in South West Hertfordshire, England and as well as being the official Editor for Stage 32, I have my own literary editing business. I began my editing career working in Central London as a Personal Assistant for various companies and came into editing while working for The International Institute For Strategic Studies from 1987-1995, they are a world-leading authority on global security, political risk and military conflict. I edited their main publication, The Military Balance, which listed the armaments of the world's armed forces. I also helped interns who came into the Institute for a year on research projects from all over the world. Since setting up my business, I have edited everything from full length novels, novellas, children's YA and picture books, non-fiction, articles, blogs and websites. I edit screenplays and television scripts for members of Stage 32 and I adapt manuscripts into a screenplays for clients. I have edited work by authors from all over the world and I am currently privileged to have been hired by the Canadian TV host and actress Stephanie Herrera to edit her books. I believe, that no matter whether a piece is a full length epic novel, or a short article, high standards of presentation are critical when presenting work to publishers, producers, or any other media. My aim is to help authors bring their work to a high standard, with a friendly, respectful and professional approach. onevoiceliteraryagency.com facebook.com/OneVoiceLiteraryAgency I am also a lyricist/poet and have been writing lyrics and songs for over 30 years. I have enjoyed lovely achievements, such as hearing my songs performed live on stage and winning Outstanding and Merit awards at various music festivals. I have a song recorded onto a piece of film and this song has also been aired on the radio. I have written lyrics for school plays, including brand new lyrics for The Wizard Of Oz for a major school production. I have also written lyrics for musical theatre (yet to be staged) and I also write for solo artists and studio vocalists. I can write in any genre and style. One of my biggest ambitions is to write lyric/s for film, a theme song and/or for the body of the film if it's musical based. You can hear some of my songs here :) onevoiceliteraryagency.com/mymusic
