What could be better than building a valuable relationship with an ally who is dedicated solely to helping you write the incredible book that you envision? As a professional book coach and experienced editor, I’m committed to helping you write the very best book possible in a dynamic, creative, and nurturing environment. As an editor who has a deep and abiding fascination for the dark side of human nature and all things otherworldly, I can help you develop compelling characters, and build atmosphere and narrative arcs that will transport your readers.

My eclectic career path has taken me into the expansive world of books via many unconventional routes, allowing me to cultivate and hone my various skills. Working in the literary and coaching world in so many diverse capacities has also given me a unique and comprehensive perspective, along with the experience, insights, and empathy it takes to be a dedicated book coach and skilled editor. In addition to editing and coaching fiction and non-fiction, I also beta read and review fiction books (US and UK published) for prominent book and review websites. This type of work allows me to look at your manuscript through the lens of a professional reader, which is a very different perspective from an editor.

So how do my singular background and skills translate into helping you? Well, not only will I provide a safe environment in which you can thrive as a writer, and ultimately complete the book you've visualized, I will:

• set you up for success as you embark on your writing journey
• support you if (when) you hit those sticky spots in your manuscript
• identify, explain, and offer solutions for story- and content-level issues
• polish your work at the sentence level, and make your work wonderfully consumable by your readers
• celebrate your successes with you!

My diverse education and literary background, extensive hands-on experience, and dedication to remaining current in the latest editing and coaching skills are only some of the valuable elements I will bring to our partnership. I adore working with my authors, as is shown by the testimonials of my latest clients, and I’m dedicated to going the extra mile to make sure you are supported and successful!
