Portland, ME
Greta Pendleton is a Portland, Maine-based editor and writer who spent twenty years in publishing, first at a legacy Boston house and later as a freelance manuscript consultant. Now she brings that editorial precision to Edit Hub’s coverage of education, literature, and the publishing industry. Greta holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and has shepherded dozens of books from raw manuscript to bookstore shelf. Her articles explore everything from literacy advocacy to the business of self-publishing with warmth and exacting standards. She’s a regular volunteer at an adult literacy program and hosts a monthly community book club that meets at a local brewery. Greta believes that language shapes reality, so we’d better use it well.
