About Lillie

I write and edit as a freelancer for authors, publishers, and business and nonprofit organizations. I am also Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Your Information Center, a company that publishes short, practical free online guides on a variety of subjects.

A graduate of Southwestern University with the degree Bachelor of Arts Magna Cum Laude, I owned and operated an interior landscape business for more than twenty years.

I had always dreamed of writing “someday” - suffering a stroke made me realize that “someday” had arrived. Although it took a couple of years to recover enough to write, I started writing as soon as I could. My novel Stroke of Luck is available now, and Dream or Destiny will be published shortly.

As a freelancer, I work with authors and publishers to prepare manuscripts for publication; write and edit business documents; and help families and individuals compile family histories and memoirs. I especially enjoy helping self-publishing authors navigate the publishing maze and like to think of myself as a book midwife. I’m as proud of the published book as the author is.

I have been a Christian my entire life and am an active volunteer for my church and other organizations. My husband of forty years and I live in San Antonio, Texas.
