From developmental to line editing, from recipe editing to copyediting, Deri Reed specializes in editing cookbooks with an emphasis on diet and health books. She enjoys the challenge of tackling and clarifying complicated recipes; rectifying recipes, menus, and shopping lists; and generally making sure every aspect of a cookbook is letter-perfect.
