Christa Bourg – Editor

18 years of experience providing editorial services (editing, book coaching, ghostwriting, proposal writing) for a wide range of nonfiction books, including multiple award-winning and New York Times bestselling titles. I've worked with both commercially published and self-published authors on more than 100 books in a wide variety of categories, including memoir, lifestyle, humor, health/well being, inspirational/self-help, business, and more.

But really, my clients say it best...
