Editor, typesetter, and graphic designer, Summer McStravick is the owner of Artichoke Editing & Print Design, which combines desktop publishing with comprehensive editing services to help individual authors, self-publishing authors, and small to midsize publishers develop print-ready materials. Mrs. McStravick has worked as an editor, typesetter, and designer for nine years, having nimbly ushered handwritten scrawl (in a few cases!) to typed manuscript to finished book, screenplay, or catalog with nary a break. Fully adept with grammar and helpful to authors needing "just the right words," she strives to bridge the gap between author and publisher, helping both get their needs met. She is particularly fond of working with small presses, the self-publishing author, and the yet-to-be-published author. She has edited, designed and facilitated production of books, booklets, press releases, query letters, standard author submission packets, brochures, catalogs, ad copy, order forms, product labels and packaging, and much more. Books she has designed and edited can be found on the shelves of Barnes & Noble, Crown Books, Amazon.com, and at bookstores worldwide. Mrs. McStravick holds a B.A. in English and Writing from the University of California, San Diego, graduating summa cum laude with departmental distinction. She is also the proud recipient of the 1998 Dr. Milton S. Saier Memorial Award for Fiction and Poetry as well as the 1997 Stewart Prize in Literature. She holds a Professional Certificate in Copyediting from UCSD. She can be reached at her office in Encinitas, California at (760) 632-9268 PST or through e-mail at editing@artichokepublishing.com or http://www.artichokepublishing.com Client Comments "I'm still going. Still working. Still dreaming. Still making it better and better and better. And yes, I am still working my way through your comments and making the necessary adjustments. And yes, your brilliance continues to astound me! People have asked me, "What do you need an editor for?" After reviewing your work/comments/suggestions and improvements I can only tell them, "Summer has helped me SHINE!" With your awesome input this is actually a project I will be so very proud of when completed. I just wanted to tell you that I felt your contribution to my life has been phenomenal and for that I will always be grateful." — Darnella Ford, author of Electra Rising "Summer McStravick of Artichoke Editing and Print Design has become an indispensable contributor to the increasing success of Tips Products International and our tips booklets clients throughout the United States. Her incredible attention to detail, her creativity, her high level of integrity, her reasonable pricing, and her always-cheerful approach combine to create the vendor of our dreams. Summer is just the best when it comes to working with us, our clients, and our other vendors. We couldn't ask for better." — Paulette Ensign, CEO Tips Products International "Summer, I just picked up my booklets and I love them. I know I could not have done it without you! Your advice and attention to all the details, especially coordinating everything with the printer for me, really made completing this project easy! It is a rare treat to work with a professional of your caliber. Until the next project." — Kate Schultz, author of "110 Ideas for Building Your Business on the Internet" "Summer was fast to edit and offer suggestions every step of the way. Her services designing and editing were extensive and time sensitive. Her fees were very reasonable and competitive. Due to the high quality of the finished product I got from Summer, I would have gladly paid her more than she quoted me. Anyone who wants an editor and design specialist who is pleasant to work with, fast, and accurate, needs to give Summer a call and seriously consider using her for their project! She is the best editor and desktop publishing person with whom I have ever worked. I recommend her services highly." — Dennis Tesdell, author of "133 Self Care Ideas to Make Your Life Easier"
