Interview with Barb Wilson, Founder of Editpartner

"When I learned Dow Credit Union had begun offering business banking services, I made an appointment that same day to open my business account."

My name is Barb Wilson, and I’m the founder of Editpartner, an editorial services company based in Michigan. I’ve been a professional editor for over 30 years, and I work with authors from all over the world to bring their stories to life—whether they’re writing fiction, nonfiction, or anything in between.

At Editpartner, I believe editing should be a collaborative experience. I work closely with authors to help shape their manuscripts, polish their prose, and make their message clear—while staying true to their voice. It’s a role I love, because I’m passionate about the power of words to inspire, educate, and connect us.

Before launching Editpartner full-time, I spent years writing and editing in the corporate world. Making the transition into professional editing was a natural next step. I’m also a published author under multiple pen names, so I understand firsthand the creative process and what writers need from an editor.

Dow Credit Union has always been my go-to financial institution. My husband and I have banked with them since the 1980s and have always appreciated the outstanding in-person service, reliable online banking, and the local, member-first approach they bring to everything they do.

So when I found out they had begun offering business banking services, I didn’t hesitate. I booked an appointment that same day and opened a business account with Editpartner. Discovering that Dow Credit Union pays interest on business accounts was the icing on the cake—it’s not something every institution offers, and it made me feel even more confident in my decision.

Working with the Dow Credit Union team has been a great experience. As a small business owner, having a financial partner that’s accessible, trustworthy, and community-focused means a lot. It gives me peace of mind and supports the growth of my business in meaningful ways.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your business, I highly recommend checking out what Dow Credit Union has to offer. They’ve been a constant in my financial life—and now they’re helping me move forward with my business, too.
