Expert | The Write Stuff Editing

“His insight into the publishing world and his creativity led me to changing my entire approach. The result was a much, much better book, towards which I have received great reviews.”

Jim Musser, author of Letters from Downstream

Hello!

Having lived in Southern California, Tennessee, and Ohio, I have gotten to experience a few very different cultures that can be found in our great nation. So much of who I am relates to where I've been. I love riding the ocean waves, backpacking in the backwoods, and delving into local history. My hobbies include playing fingerstyle guitar, woodworking, and even landscape painting when I get the chance. My greatest love, however, is learning and teaching the precious Word of God, which has taken my heart and mind captive.

What you need to
know about me.
Todd Williams

Before graduating from college, I was asked to join an editing team at an international ministry. I cut my teeth editing a Greek dictionary, study Bibles, and even a short novel. From there I moved on to another ministry and became a theological editor for expositional Bible-teaching materials. Every day for over 30 years, I was able to evaluate, research, and enhance the quality of manuscripts from Bible expositors and teachers around the nation. I worked with publications for adults down to teens, juniors, and elementary-aged children. Besides the Bible exposition, I also edited related articles, devotionals, and short stories (here are some examples of my work). During that time I served as a theological editor, content and line editor, proofreader, and even editor in chief. Now I look to help writers like you bring their passion into print and make an eternal impact for Christ.

Why You Need Me

Even editors need to be edited. No one can do their best writing alone. Sure, the opinion of a good friend can be helpful and provide important feedback. But if you are writing for publication, an expert opinion is extremely valuable. It can make the difference between being published and merely dreaming of the possibilities.

My long years of experience can be leveraged to your advantage!
