SERVICES
Three personalized services to choose from — or combine — to suit your needs.
Editing
You are writing it — or you've written it. Now let's make it the best book it can be.
Whether you have a rough manuscript that needs direction or a nearly finished book that needs that final professional touch, I'll help you take it to the next level.
Depending on your manuscript, that may include developmental editing, content and subject-matter editing, organization, clarity, consistency, flow, and line-level refinement. I'll also give you honest, constructive feedback along the way — because sometimes an author needs someone who isn't afraid to say, “This part isn't working quite yet.”
And when your manuscript is honed and polished, I can point you toward trusted industry resources for formatting, cover design, publishing, and marketing.
Coaching
You have a book in you. Let's get it out of your head and onto the page.
We'll begin with a 60-minute Foundational Session to talk about your vision, goals, strengths, challenges, and — yes — even the things that may be holding you back.
From there, I'll help you create a realistic roadmap for bringing your book to life. Whether you need help developing your concept, organizing your ideas, staying on track, or overcoming a case of writer's block, I'll meet you where you are and help you move forward.
We will work hard, but we'll have fun too. Writing a book can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming.
Ghostwriting
You tell me the story. I'll help turn it into a book.
Through a series of Zoom or phone conversations, I’ll interview you—listening carefully to your stories, ideas, and experiences—and capture the essence of what makes your voice uniquely yours.
Then I’ll roll up my sleeves.
I’ll transform those interviews into a cohesive, engaging manuscript for you to review and refine. You remain the author; I provide the words, structure, and storytelling expertise to help bring your vision to the page.
