Bona Hayes is an editor who hears the words and cadence of written work much like a conductor hears a symphony. She has an ear for writing and combines it with her professional background in business communications, to edit manuscripts for authors.
She enjoys working with writers to retain their voice and style. Her goal is to identify, engage, and enthuse their target markets.
Put sparkle in your writing! Bona Hayes Website.
