Overview
I am a freelance editor, writer, and publishing consultant with twelve years of professional publishing experience and a specialty in spiritual growth and self-help books and content.
My publishing experience includes working in-house for Thomas Nelson Publishers and Dave Ramsey's organization. I made the leap to freelance in 2013 and now work directly with authors, publishers, and organizations as an editor, proofreader, writer, and consultant. I’ve enjoyed working on everything from spiritual growth and leadership books, memoirs, and cookbooks, to health and wellness blogs, arts and culture magazines, and financial planning curriculum. If you have an idea and some content you believe will change lives and are ready to invest in your idea through professional editing services, I'd like to hear from you to see if we could be a good fit.

All I can say is WOW! Darcie is a professional who knows what she is doing. I utilized her for my project specifically because I wanted her to edit while my voice was still able to be heard (in a written sense). She did just that and I have received nothing but compliments on her work. I have some more book projects that I am working on and she will definitely be contacted. SHE IS GOOD!

I'm a writer working in an entirely new format, and this is my first time working with a Development Editor. Darcie was great to work with. She helped me to define my audience and articulate my goals. She gave me great suggestions in her edit which I'm looking forward to implementing. I feel confident that my project is much better for having worked with Darcie.
