Elaine O'Neill - Editor

If everyone has a book inside them, how do you make yours stand out? There's no doubt each of us have something important to share with the world; I believe that to my core. But, there's a difference between publishing a book and publishing a bestseller.

It's my job as a non-fiction writing coach to help my clients change the lives of their readers, even in some small way. Whether they're interested in finding an agent or going the self-publishing route, I help writers to trim the faff, expand their own energy within their work, and really centre down on what matters most.

I've been an editor for 20 years and I love what I do. I know just what it takes to draw the reader in, to let the message land, to inspire and encourage through words. Oftentimes, it's a subtle shift, something so small but so important. Other times, the final manuscript is leagues away from the original, but closer to the writer than they could have ever imagined. This process is fun, not just for me, but for you. It's uplifting, motivating and empowering.

If you're looking to turn out a non-fiction book that makes an impact, leaves ego behind, and speaks to the legacy you want to create, then email me at and let's get working on those words.
