I am delighted and deeply honored to announce a significant milestone that stands as a beacon of scholarly excellence and a testament to the profound impact of dedicated editing and collaboration. Barbara Morrill, a distinguished client of mine, has recently secured a contract with Routledge for the publication of her remarkable book, The Jungian Inspired Holocaust Writings of Etty Hillesum; To Write is to Act, scheduled for release in October 2024.

This book represents more than just an academic achievement; it delves into the sacred and pressing matters of our time, shedding light on both now and the Holocaust through the lens of Jungian analysis and the indomitable spirit of Etty Hillesum. Barbara's work serves as a crucial reminder of the power of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity and the enduring importance of memory and understanding in our collective consciousness.

My journey with Barbara began with developmental editing and now extends to her book's publication, and I have been honored to experience profound learning and mutual discovery as her editor. It is a journey that underscores the sacred nature of the subject matter she explores and the significance of bringing such narratives to the forefront of academic and public discourse.

I feel immensely privileged to have contributed to the process of bringing Barbara's insightful and necessary work to a wider audience. Her dedication to exploring such a vital area of study, combined with our collaborative efforts in honing and refining her ideas, exemplifies the impactful synergy between author and editor. This is why I love what I do!

As we look forward to the publication of The Jungian Inspired Holocaust Writings of Etty Hillesum; To Write is to Act, I am reminded of the critical role academic editing plays in nurturing and amplifying voices that delve into the depths of human history and experience. I invite others who are embarking on their scholarly journeys, especially those engaging with topics of profound human and historical significance, to explore how professional editing can refine and improve their work.
