Linda Ruggeri
The Insightful Editor
Hi! My name is Linda and I’m a nonfiction editor who works with English- and Spanish-language publishing projects. I’m a full-service editor skilled in all facets of publishing, including writing, developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, manuscript styling, and author coaching. I help my clients accomplish their publishing goals in a planned and organized manner so their projects can be successful.
I have a passion for guiding authors on their publishing journey in a timely manner and within budget, and I enjoy working both on my own as well as with editorial teams.
My specialty is non-fiction, and I’m passionate about memoirs, biographies, how-to books, and cookbooks. I work mostly on the topics of personal and professional development, travel, photography, cooking, gardening, and history. Many publishers also hire me to review the translations of their books or manuals into Spanish or to edit books originally in Spanish or Italian that have been translated into English.
When I’m not editing, I’m happily writing. In 2022 I won the 2022 Benjamin Franklin Silver Medal Award for Networking for Freelance Editors which I co-authored with fellow editor and EFA member Brittany Dowdle. In 2024 I published Networking for Writers and Mastermind Groups for Editors.
Born in Los Angeles and raised in Argentina (where I studied Journalism at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba), I completed my education with a Communication and Fine Arts degree from Loyola Marymount University (Cum Laude) in Los Angeles. I’m an avid reader, traveler, baker and cook, and am now based in Napa Valley.
You can learn more about my work and editing packages at The Insightful Editor.
I’m the former director of the EFA Diversity Initiative Welcome Program and continue to volunteer for this initiative.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have. I offer thirty-minute courtesy consultations through my website and would love to discuss your project!
