Overview
I have more than 15 years of editorial experience, the last five in books that focus on health, wellness, nutrition, personal growth and development. To date, I've developed more than 70 + profitable, non-fiction health and wellness manuscripts. Everything from a vegan ketogenic cookbook to crystal grids for beginners to a mindfulness workbook for panic attacks.
My focus is developmental editing. Meaning I evaluate the tone, structure, and flow of your writing. My working style is open, supportive and communicative. I take pride in maintaining your voice, while providing important feedback and guidance to ensure that your words are conveying information in the most thoughtful, useful, and succinct way.
Let me help make your book dreams come true!
