Timothy
Niedermann
Bethany, Connecticut
I divide my time between Montreal, Quebec, and Bethany, Connecticut. A professional editor for most of my career, I have edited magazines, books, and scholarly journals and have dealt with subject matter ranging from sports to law to public policy to celebrity biography. I have also ghostwritten several memoirs. In June 2015, I released my first novel, "Wall of Dust," published by Deux Voiliers Publishing.
My greatest strength as an editor is perhaps my ability to clarify arguments and issues for the reader—whether the issue is insider jargon, technobabble, ponderous legalese, or simple vagueness—improving precision and comprehension while also preserving the writer’s own distinctive voice. Having trained as a lawyer, I am also a stickler for factual accuracy.
While my fiction has been described as "lyrical," my expository prose is spare and precise. I present facts and ideas clearly and with the appropriate context for full understanding by the targeted reader.

Has also written three thrillers and a work of popular non-fiction as well as journalism on a wide range of topics, including lifestyle, books, sports, restaurants, and public policy.
