Editorial Services of Los Angeles (ESOLA) & Lisa Rojany Buccieri

WHETHER YOU ARE A BEGINNING WRITER OR A PRO, EVERY BOOK OR MANUSCRIPT YOU WRITE NEEDS EDITORIAL FEEDBACK. THIS IS WHAT I AM HERE FOR: FOR YOU.

If this is the first time you've been here, glad you could make it! If you're returning, glad you stopped by.

First off, you pronounce my name, Lisa Rojany Buccieri, ROW-ZHA-NEE BOO-CHEE-EH-REE. A mouthful, I know.

I am both a professional editor and oft-published writer. I run my own business, EDITORIAL SERVICES OF LOS ANGELES (ESOLA), in which I help writers make their work the best it can be while getting it ready for submission to publishing houses. I also do developmental creative consulting and book packaging for publishing houses and toy companies, as well as work-for-hire writing and editing.

Under "Editing Services" you can find information about my business, EDITORIAL SERVICES OF LOS ANGELES, as well as details about my professional publishing credentials. (If you want to know what people say about me, go to "Client Recommendations" link at right.)

For those of you returning to visit, I've had a busy few years.

Last year I wrote three adaptations and a Young Adult book, SURVIVING THE ANGEL OF DEATH: THE STORY OF A MENGELE TWIN IN AUSCHWITZ, with Eva Kor, which arrived in bookstores in October 2009. My book for children's book writers, WRITING CHILDREN'S BOOKS FOR DUMMIES, with Peter Economy, continues to occupy top slots at Amazon and in bookstores. See info about all 100+ books written under "Professional Writing."

At the start of 2010, I joined the New York Journal of Books as COO & Publisher. I cannot wait for the site to get out of beta in September!

In my venture with East/​West Literary Agency, I review all the submissions and find those very rare gems worth repping to pass on to the founder of the agency. Seventy percent of her clients are new talent or published writers trying new ventures, so I feel like Vespucci or Columbus or some other explorer (but female, and anchored to a desk wielding a purple pen instead of floating on the sea peering hopefully through a spyglass)!

And in a totally unrelated-to-books new venture, I founded The Yes Factory, dedicated to patenting, manufacturing, and getting to market new product inventions. Here's to something hitting the wall and sticking in 2010!

Because I have been so busy, I have been unable to lead writing workshops, but I can refer you to colleagues who can guide you in those endeavors, so email me if you are looking for writing workshops.

If you have any suggestions or comments, please email ESOLA by clicking the link in the right-hand column.

And even though the economy bites, we do have HOPE, don't we? (Hope means always having something pending in some editor's in-box.) So keep writing! And let me know if you need help with YOUR latest book!

All the best to you,

Lisa
