Support for Authors
Write, Polish, & Publish Your Book
Are you an aspiring or published author looking for creative support? I’d love to help you tell your story on your terms.
As a 4x-published indie fiction author (I write epic fantasy books - you can see my work here!) and professional editor, I understand the writing, editing, and publishing processes inside and out. I’ve been on both sides of the desk, enabling me to share insights as both a writer and editor.
My copywriting expertise has extended into the publishing and book marketing industries, where I’ve written book launch and marketing materials for both traditionally and independently published authors. This work provided me with valuable insights into multiple publishing paths.
I provide creative guidance, support, and coaching to authors through a variety of services. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel inspired, reassured, and empowered to take the next steps in your author career, wherever that leads!
Book Coaching
Dreaming of writing a book, but need help getting your ideas on paper—or finishing your draft? Want 1:1 support as you navigate your creative journey? I work with both aspiring and published authors as a guide and advisor, helping you move through the many layers of the creative and technical processes that make up publishing.
Developmental Editing
Developmental editing focuses on the overall structure and flow of your book. It’s the strategic part of book development that comes before you refine the language or weed out pesky typos. As your developmental editor, I’ll provide guidance to help you strengthen your narrative for greater impact, tighten story and character arcs, and prepare your book for its next draft.
Note: While I work primarily with nonfiction authors, I’m open to discussing developmental editing for your fiction book. Feel free to reach out!
Indie Publishing Advisory
Need a hand with getting your indie book published? I’m happy to help! As a 4x-published indie author, I’ve bootstrapped this process - and walked authors through the steps.

Ghostwriting engagements are perfect for executives and thought leaders who are bursting with ideas and messages the world needs to hear… but are already juggling a full plate of high-level work. If you’re ready to get your ideas on paper and your book out into the world, let’s talk.
