Lauren E. Mix -- editor in chief/owner of LM Editing -- whether in the role of editor, ghostwriter, or co-author, has a unique background that makes her a valuable asset to technically sophisticated books.

When editing, she works on selected projects where her background provides more than just proofreading. The manuscripts she edits involve collaborations where her value as a neutral and independent expert adds to the competence of the author, assisting in the struggle to find the clearest, most accessible way to create maximum knowledge transfer for the reader. Lauren's career experience allows her to add insight to existing content and expand it to reach the full potential audience. Because she goes beyond mere copyediting and understands the technical jargon of the content, she is able to compile a comprehen- sive index and glossary with less guidance from authors than other editors, giving authors more time to focus on their tasks.

Lauren has also taken on the additional role of ghost-writer where she has either contributed valuable input to an author's content, expanding on their existing concepts with her knowledge of the subject, or turned thought patterns and ideas into comprehensive text, targeted at the specific audience desired.

Recently, Lauren has added the role of co-author to her resume. She created Distilled Insight, a series that focuses on bringing specific knowledge points to executives in a fast-paced, high-value manner to expedite content compre- hension and application. In addition to being the lead author, she has also developed the structure of the books, arranged and organized the content, and worked closely with graphic design on the contained images and with the publisher to ensure on-time completion.

Lauren is a very focused, driven individual who does not shy away from any challenge. She relishes opportunities to learn new skills then hones them to increase her value in the field. With exceptionally strong organizational skills and self-discipline, Lauren is able to manage multiple projects simultaneously with ease.
