Modern Day Gypsy

February 1, 2018

Editorial Inspirations Editing/Indexing/Proofreading www.EditorialInspirations.com

The answer to the question on everybody’s mind lies in between the pages of this refreshing collection of short stories where Gypsy discovers the secret to satisfaction by accepting her insatiable appetite for the unknown.

Gypsy, a spirited city girl from the suburbs of Detroit, finds herself in a career that fits into her lifestyle perfectly, a flight attendant for Encompass Airlines. Because she has always had an attraction to space travel and the wonders of the world, this career move appears to be destiny calling. Gypsy’s world seems impossibly fascinating as she wanders through different countries in exquisite clothing and pricey stilettos, sampling the world of relationships and giving readers an inside invitation to enjoy her incredible life on the fly. She travels to some of the most fantastic cities and has unrestricted access to the rich and the powerful: basketball players, prime ministers, police officers, and, of course, pilots. Her increasing desire for spontaneous relationships flourishes with each amazing story.

Modern Day Gypsy is hugely revealing and provides unobstructed views from the top with a humorous narration that connects through a series of exchanges, problems with work, broken friendships, and spicy love affairs. She may have to consider giving up the fast lane for a slower paced city life when she’s faced with a life-altering decision that could either destroy her passionate spirit or heal her misguided soul. The choice is hers to make and the options are clear, but the window of opportunity is closing in fast on Gypsy’s world of glamour.

Do flight attendants really have a man in every port of call?

April Michelle Davis worked directly with the author to edit the manuscript and prepare it for publication. Working with the author on this project was fun and humorous, just as this book plays out.

Leaders for Tomorrow

January 1, 2018

Editorial Inspirations Editing/Indexing/Proofreading www.EditorialInspirations.com

Our world today offers a host of new challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, we see an emerging global knowledge economy fed by an unprecedented investment in network technologies and the unleashing of human creativity in all fields. On the other hand, we also face significant challenges: economic disparity, global warming, education inadequacies, and global financial service failures. When we encounter these problems, the future feels insecure.

Emerging leaders will need to deal with these confusing realities and set a course for the future. Leadership thinking of previous eras created today’s challenges, but that thinking won’t solve them. Your leaders need to engage in different conversations. Conversations designed to cause the emergence of new ideas and new processes capable of delivering on the promise of this new era. Are you having the conversations you need to have to prepare your leaders for tomorrow?

April Michelle Davis worked directly with the publisher to prepare Leaders for Tomorrow for publication. She proofread the manuscript in one week and kept the book on its publication schedule.

Forever Becoming

November 1, 2017

Editorial Inspirations Editing/Indexing/Proofreading www.EditorialInspirations.com

The Greatest Generation, as it has become known, survived the Great Depression and war and emerged to build a dynamic educated middle class in America. This is the personal story of one man born into poverty in the industrial city of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, at the dawn of the twentieth century.

A traumatic and turbulent childhood prompted this man’s youthful wanderings that inevitably led to prototypic American experiences at a time of great economic and social upheaval. It was the gritty descriptions of life on the road that evoked the human experiences of the time.

In spite of the harsh realities and a mother’s love and devotion that he had been denied, he overcame obstacles to seek his dream to be on the silver screen, only to discover that the journey of Forever Becoming is what finally brought him fulfillment and love. His story offers encouragement to those living in times of adversity, and it reveals that with perseverance and love and attention,  there is a reason for hope.

April Michelle Davis worked directly with the self-publishing company to proofread this manuscript before publication. April Michelle’s proofreading skills not only met but exceeded the author’s expectations for his book. April Michelle was acknowledged for preserving the reputation of the author and the reliability of the book as a resource through her attention to detail when it comes to egregious errors that would have affected the believability and reputation of both the book and the author if not corrected.

10 Steps to Successful Coaching

October 1, 2017

Editorial Inspirations Editing/Indexing/Proofreading www.EditorialInspirations.com

10 Steps to Successful Coaching demonstrates why coaching can be a powerful tool to drive organization performance and support the achievement of individual career goals. The solid, understandable process presented in the book encourages and supports positive, long-term change. Ultimately, the author contends, coaching is a pathway to greater satisfaction on the job (as a manager or employee) and at home (as a friend, spouse, and parent).

April Michelle Davis wrote the index for this book. April Michelle looks for ways to share her craft, so while examining the text for the index, she completed a light proofread as a courtesy to the publisher, which included any errors she noticed while examining the text for the index.
