Lyric Dodson – Editor

Booking May 2026 & beyond!

Hey! I’m Lyric, a ghostwriter and developmental editor with a deep love for sharing stories that highlight the magic in the mundane.

I'm fascinated by other humans—where they've been, who they've encountered, and how they've become—which is probably why people often spill their secrets to me within a few minutes of meeting. No topic is off limits, no taboo too uncomfortable to witness.

Writing and reading have been staples in my life since I was a kid, so it's only right that I've infused these natural gifts and interests into my work now. For nearly a decade, I've worked intimately with authors as well as traditional and hybrid publishers (Macmillan, Hachette, Sounds True, Hardie Grant, and Amplify, to name a few) to craft memorable, resonant, and marketable books.

I've dedicated myself to learning the publishing industry inside and out, studying the art and craft of writing, and gathering the tricks of the trade to help authors translate their insights and stories into engaging titles.

If any of this sounds like what you're looking for, my digital door is wide open! My experience is vast enough to help you edit just about anything, but in case you were wondering, these are the categories I enjoy working on the most:

- Indigenous spirituality & religion

- Personal development

- Self-help

- Memoir

- Conscious business

- Creativity/art

- Women's health

- Feminist thought

- Deconstruction/decolonization praxis

Books are my passion. Let's talk about how we can make yours a success.
