Editorial Team
The Deep River editing team has decades of extensive and varied publishing experience with such reputable companies as Thomas Nelson, Barbour, and WaterBrook. This diversity allows us to pair a manuscript with an editor with experience in a specific genre like theology, fiction, or personal narrative.
Deep River's Chief Editor and Associate Publisher, Lacey Hanes Ogle, says, "Writing is unquestionably an art, full of creativity and sensitivity to God's leading. It is also a craft, a technical molding of ideas into sentences that can be read and easily understood by a diverse group of readers. Our collaborative editing process is designed to provide you with a polished and professional finished product."

Sue Miholer Sue loses track of time while editing. Her business name—Picky, Picky Ink—pretty much sums up her approach. Most of her own writing projects are devotionals—short-attention-span things. When not editing or writing, she subs one or two days a week as a classroom assistant with special ed kids. She also serves on the board of Oregon Christian Writers and in various ministries at her church in Salem, Oregon. And she’ll drop everything to spend time with her grandkids, all of whom live close by. |

Rachel Starr Thomson Rachel Starr Thomson works with words from both sides of the desk--as both an editor and writer, she loves to explore the intersections of faith and the written word. She is the author of several books, including Heart to Heart: Meeting with God in the Lord's Prayer, Tales of the Heartily Homeschooled, and The Seventh World Trilogy--Worlds Unseen, Burning Light, and The Advent--YA fantasy novels from a Christian worldview. As an editor, she has helped authors of fiction, memoir, and devotional writing make their voices clear. Rachel is a committed Christian, a lover of long walks, good books, hot tea, and rich fellowship, and a countercultural revolutionary who thinks we'd all be much better off if we pitched our television sets out the nearest window. |
