A writer’s best friend is the best editor. Linda Tate, friend/writer/colleague/editor, is the best of the best. Before I release important work, I fly it by Eagle-Eye-Editor-Linda. Her editorial skills are a rare combination of careful, detailed attention, and intuitive sensibility.
Power in the Blood: A Family Narrative
(author, Ohio University Press, 2009)
Listen to Linda read the opening of the book.
Power in the Blood traces Linda Tate’s journey to rediscover the Cherokee-Appalachian branch of her family and provides an unflinching examination of the poverty, discrimination, and family violence that marked their lives. A dramatic family history that reads like a novel, Power in the Blood is innovative and groundbreaking in its approach to research and storytelling.

Linda’s expertise was invaluable. With her excellent writing and editing skills, we now have very professional and well-written marketing materials. Her ability to pull together the many bits and pieces of information we had into organized, cohesive documents was especially notable, as well as much needed. Thank you, Linda!
A Southern Weave of Women: Fiction of the Contemporary South
(author, University of Georgia Press, 1994)
A Southern Weave of Women is one of the first sustained treatments of the generation of women writers who came of age in the post-World War II South as well as one of the first to situate southern literature fully within a multicultural context. A Southern Weave of Women considers the ways in which the women writers of the present generation reflect, expand, transform, and redefine long-standing notions of regional culture and womanhood.
