Lisa Thomas-Tench – Editor

I've written more than 35 books and edited more than 50, working with everyone from household names like Eckhart Tolle, Oprah Winfrey, Marianne Williamson, and Chief Robert Joseph to first-time authors who are just getting started in their writing careers. That range is, I think, my superpower. I know what publishers are looking for in a new author, and I know how to help you get there.

My sweet spot is narrative non-fiction: self-help, memoir, conscious business, psychology, and inspirational work. If you have something important to say and you're not quite sure how to say it (or you've written a draft but it's not quite landing yet) I can help.

Working with me means working with someone who genuinely cares about your project. I'm direct, I'm organized, and I bring an MBA in Strategy alongside decades of editorial experience, so I think about your book structurally as well as how it reads line-by-line. I'll tell you what's working, what isn't, and why, and I'll do it in a way that respects both your vision and your reader's interests.

Whether you need a developmental edit, a query letter review, or a coaching partnership to keep you accountable and moving, I'm here for the full journey. Let's make your book the best version of itself.
