Ameesha Green – Editor

MY MISSION:

I believe that great books can change the world, even long after their author has gone. That's why my mission in life is to help people create life-changing and game-changing books... books that make the world better.

MY BACKGROUND:

I've been a bookworm since my childhood days of naming my teddies after philosophers, which led me to an English Literature and Philosophy degree at the University of Birmingham. Since then, I've worked in the publishing industry for over 14 years, as an in-house editorial executive for an independent tech and business publisher, as a freelance editor / digital nomad, and as a strategy consultant for the UK's biggest ghostwriting company. Eight years ago, I founded The Book Shelf® to help aspiring authors bring their nonfiction books to life, taking them from idea to bookshelf, and we are now an award-winning hybrid publisher.

MY EXPERIENCE:

To date, I've worked on over 700 books with authors around 25 countries around the world, from first-timers to New York Times bestsellers, non-native speakers to TED Talkers, and even an OBE. I'm head judge for the Business Book Awards' "Work and Life" category and published author of children's book "Where's Marmalade?" As the top-ranked philosophy book coach in the world, I'm proud to have helped authors land bestsellers, earn thousands for charity, win awards, and start their own businesses.

MY ETHOS:

I’m a neurodivergent and ethically minded individual who believes that we are here to make the world a better place for others. As such, I donate to protect 10 acres of rainforest for every author with the Rainforest Trust (1000+ acres to date), and am a voluntary mentor, a board member for several charities, and a contributor to community projects. Having travelled the world for a year and read a lot of books, I believe that life is a journey of learning and continuous improvement.

MY GENRES:

I work at the intersection of business, leadership, tech, and philosophy. The authors I love to work with are those who want to share their wisdom with the world, make a splash in their industry, and become thought leaders. I'm a business founder with a philosophical background, so if you choose to work with me, you'll get a constructive and honest partner for your project.

MY SERVICES:

· Coaching: Support and shepherding through the whole self-publishing process so you’re not on your own.

· Critique (editorial assessment): Honest, challenging, and constructive feedback on your manuscript, giving you the tools to improve it yourself.

· Content editing (developmental / structural): A “big picture” hands-on edit to improve the book for you, including the structure, content, and message.

MY PROMISE:

If you publish with my support, you'll get your book out there five times faster than with a traditional publisher but with the same professional quality. I will strive to make your book as effective as possible to make a difference in people's lives. Let's change the world together.
