Chief Editor and owner of A1 Editorial and Balliett Editorial Services,
which is being phased out and replaced with A1 Editorial, Jannie Balliett, is a published writer, and currently writing two
paranormal thriller novels, with one on the back burner which she began writing over
two decades ago. She's been writing for over twenty years.
One of
her dedication poems, written for and dedicated to her deceased step-son,
"A Brief Young Life," is published in the August 2006 Writers Post Journal Magazine.
A mainstream flash-fiction story, "No Choice But Hell" is published in their May 2006 issue, and another flash-fiction thriller, set in historical, literary
mystery genre, "Dieudonne,"
was published in the Nov/Dec 2006 issue of Writers Post Journal. "No
Choice But Hell" is also published in Whim's Place flash anthology book, On A Whim, soon offered in Barnes & Nobles
and Amazon, sometime in 2008.
Jannie is
a member of Sisters in Crime Internet Chapter, Brazos Writers Group, The Short Mystery Fiction Society, and other author networking
affiliations.
She is founder of two writer
workshops, and actively teaches fiction and creative writing to the novice and intermediate writer, and teaches poetry upon
request. She also teaches advanced writers who are near their publishing stage.
She was awarded the Phenomenal Women of the Web award of excellence for her Online endeavors, which is now since
defunct. Since she teaches writing, she's often consulted by more experienced writers, and consults by correspondence
and Email. She helps novice writers on her Online workshops, by editing and critiquing their work at no charge,
promoting the beginner writer by encouragement and showing them their weaknesses as well as their strengths.
Jannie has been critiquing and editing for over twenty years. "At times," she said,
"that I'm so immersed in private writing lessons, private editing, critiquing, and other related correspondence,
coupled with both editorial services, that I don't have as much time for my own novels as I would like. This is
why I am phasing out Balliett Editorial. Recently, I've taken on a lot of book doctoring for self-published authors, getting
their books ready for print, as well as some published authors that are needing a second opinion by a writer (me), professional
editing and proofing, before sending their MS to their publishe'rs editors. They've found it's easier to have
the MS ready and not have to deal with those editors and saves time. Their books get on the shelves quicker!"
Her years of experience in the
writing field, equips her with the knowledge to help other writers. Her personal goal is to provide a high-quality editing
service to fellow writers, utilizing her twenty plus years experience and sharing in the thrill and joy in their publishing
success. She has seen her beginner writing students advance to becoming publishers authors, in her career.
An editorial service is the final step of preparation to becoming published, and the editorial
process doesn't need be a grueling or painful experience. A1 Editorial (and Balliett Editorial Service) makes it a pleasant
and exciting experience by working with you at your instruction. "We've found that the editorial process actually
stimulates the writer's creativity and have seen many writers improve their story plots as they go through the editorial
steps to achieve publishing."
"Every writer deserves his work to
be the best it can be, especially after spending long, and sometimes grueling hours, of self-sacrifice and hard effort in
their writing endeavor, with all the anticipation of getting published," she said.
A1 Editorial firmly believes that the writing sacrifice is worthy of the bounty of being published and in print.
Whether it's poetry, short stories, novellas, or novels, A1 Editorial will help polish and prepare it for submission for
publishing with their unique personalized flair that they specialize in-- author individuality.
That's A1 Editorial's personal goal and guarantee. All services
and work is satisfaction guaranteed or any balance owed at time of completion is reduced by 10%!
