Meet Dawn Carter, Finish Editor and Grammar Nazi

We are honored to introduce Dawn Carter, finish editor, grammar Nazi, and a truly wonderful addition to Descendant Publishing’s tribe of contract talent.
Writing is difficult, but editing is difficulter. (“More difficult” *Edit Dawn Carter). When a manuscript is complete, any good author understands that his/her writing is only as good as the editors who sweep up the pencil dust behind them. They are often the unsung heroes in a book, and are content to see their names buried somewhere on the title page. So today, we would like to honor Dawn and her contributions to the Descendants of Light Series, The Watcher Key and The Watcher Tower. Here’s a bit about Dawn:
Dawn is a stay-home PTA mom, avid reader, and self-proclaimed “grammar Nazi”. She has a BA in Journalism that had been collecting dust for 20 years, until she took a leap of faith and jumped into the free-lance editing world. She initially got started editing by helping a friend that self-published a wonderful book that happened to have some grammatical errors. Not wanting him to get raked over the coals by reviewers for something that could be so easily fixed, she read the book, sent corrections as she read, and an editor was born. 
  Dawn has been married to Gary for 23 years, and they are the proud parents of Kelly (20), Ryan (16), and Jeremy (9).
  In her free time she loves to read (of course!), volunteer at her children’s school, walk and enjoy nature, and take pictures of sunrises, sunsets and the clouds.
We thank you, Dawn, for your help in making the Descendants of Light Series a really polished masterpiece!

Standing Against the Darkness

You see it every day. The people you work with, interact with at the grocery store, church, or on the road. Empty. Discouraged. Defeated.

If you were to stop and ask them, they might tell you it’s something they are going through–a family issue, some financial concerns, cancer. But like you, they know it goes deeper than that. There’s something wrong with the world today.

If you were like me, reading a book about Hell wasn’t the first on the TBR list. It might haven’t been ever on there, in fact, had I not forced myself to take a peek.
