About Me


www.valentineeditorialservices.com
Valentine Editorial Services (VES) specializes in fiction, non-fiction and creative non-fiction African-American literary works. Valentine Editorial Services' mission is to continue to honor, promote and preserve African-American voices within the writing industry. VES understands the critical need to cater to the stories that continue to expand the African-American literary world. Our goal is to aid writers with the utmost preparation of their manuscripts or projects for submission to literary agents, publishing houses, writing contests, self-publishing purposes, etc... We accomplish this goal by focusing on all aspects of the editorial process for your work of art.
Aspiring Authors/Writers – Your project is complete but now you need an editor to clean up your manuscript and prepare it for submission to literary agents.
Valentine Editorial Services has a team of editorial consultants that are experts in African-American literature. Our editors are better able to identify with African-American experiences that manifest themselves into fiction and non-fiction stories because the editors have indeed shared in those same experiences. This allows VES to critique and edit your project with an objective viewpoint while still preserving your writer's voice and sense of style. This enables the writer to relax and trust that their use of jargon, slang or ebonics, that which can be a great expression of our culture, is well-understood, embraced and refined by VES.

"Acceptance" a poem

"Sun-Lined Skies" a poem

I could travel channels that lead -Into black seas or sun-lined skies,But for now I caress it and nurture it,As I rock back & forth crushing it into my bosom,Clinging desperately to it,Like the dr...

"Down to Nothing" a poem

Revelations have pierced my heart,Dumbing down my silly notions,Unearthing hidden desires,And unfounded emotions,Have I been chasing shadows and distant dreams?It pains me to say goodbye to them.To fa...

I was dying. And I was denying my death. But you could see it in my shoulders that slumped over and shielded my heart from the light. You could sit atop my mind and look down into the tornado of confu...

Sweet World

I can just...take a deep, earthy sigh.  I am waiting for that raw-emotion-filled-gutteral moan longing to be unleashed.  I have denied myself this for years.  I say denied because I hav...
