Tia Silverthorne Bach - EIC

 

​Hi, I’m Tia Silverthorne Bach. From a young age, I’ve either had a book in one hand or a pen in the other. Raised by a poet and an engineer, I grew up with a love for creativity and an appreciation of structure, two things that continue to shape my work as both a writer and editor.

I majored in Business in college but quickly found myself drawn to the world of words, becoming an editor for my college yearbook and a staff writer for my college newspaper. I then worked as a technical writer and newsletter editor for IBM, and after college, I transitioned into corporate communications and marketing for a bank, writing and polishing internal and external materials.

After my first daughter was born, I began writing anytime she slept. That’s when I convinced my mom to co-author a coming-of-age novel with me—told in alternating viewpoints from a teenage daughter and her middle-aged mother. Years later, our award-winning book, Depression Cookies, was released. I continued writing, editing, and producing newsletters and community publications, and my third novel, Chasing Shadows, was named a Young Adult Paranormal Finalist in the 2014 Readers’ Favorite International Book Awards.

What began as helping friends with their manuscripts eventually grew into a full-fledged editing business built through word of mouth and trust. I edit across genres and have worked on everything from nonfiction, including sailing guides, poetry collections, and bible studies, to young adult fantasy, women’s fiction, romance, new adult contemporary, and literary fiction. As an avid reader with a wide range of interests, I love helping authors polish their work while preserving the heart of their voice.

Independent authors are reshaping the publishing world, and I’d love to help you take your manuscript from draft to finished book.

Here's what Tia's clients are saying:

“Having a book that I'm proud of has given me much pleasure since its publication last summer. It was a great comfort to have Gifts from a Muse in Tia' s professional hands as she worked with me in transforming my manuscript to one that was ready for the publisher. Her calm demeanor and sound suggestions were truly a blessing. I have missed our phone consultations and will definitely request her help in any future publication.”

~ Lane Farmer Schroeder - author of Gifts from a Muse

“Through Tia Bach's work on my book, Borrowed Things, I learned the priceless contributions a good editor can give to an author. She provided formatting and polish that I, as a novice in the world of writing, knew nothing about. She did this with respect for my creativity and sensitivity, and made the book better than it would have been without her skill and objectivity.”
 

~ Doris Schneider - author of Borrowed Things
