My name is Rob Bignell. I’m an affordable, professional editor who runs Inventing Reality Editing Service, which meets the manuscript needs of writers both new and published. I also offer a variety of self-publishing services. During the past five years, I’ve helped more than 175 novelists and nonfiction authors obtain their publishing dreams at reasonable prices. I'm also the author of the 7 Minutes a Day... writing guidebooks, four nonfiction hiking guidebook series, and the literary novel Windmill. Several of my short stories in the literary and science fiction genres also have been published.
