Nyei Murez – Editor

Developmental and line editor for authors of memoir and books on wellbeing, and consciousness.

Overview


It is my joy to assist authors in birthing their books. I have experience with both seasoned, and first-time authors--and authors working with major publishers, as well as those who are self-publishing. My areas of expertise and/or interest include consciousness, meditation, shamanic work, memoir (telling a conscious story), animals and pets, music, sound healing, and Vedic and Western astrology.

I see my job as assisting you with compassion and clarity to bring your message, story, and voice forward in a way that's fully yours, and the very best it can be.

I can help you develop your story or narrative, and make your lines sing (whether you are a native English speaker or English is a second or third language for you). I can also bring your copy to polished perfection, though I prefer to do this copy-editing in conjunction with developmental and line editing, rather than as a service on its own.

As part of a team leading, as well as developing publicity and content for international movement and consciousness workshops for twenty-five years, I've worked with colleagues and translators from diverse cultures and languages, studied and lived in France, and taught English as a Second Language to university students of many native languages. I love to help you bring your story across to an international audience, and to help your sentences "land" in English.

I'm also a musician (classical and native flute, voice, crystal bowls), sound healer, certified breathwork and movement facilitator, and expressive arts facilitator

In addition, I have helped create and edit successful book proposals and can assist you with yours.

"Nyei has been an incredible support during the writing of my first book. Her expert editing struck the perfect balance between letting me find (and keep) my own voice and making sentences and chapters flow. When I was under a tight deadline she returned chapters quickly. I found working with Nyei easeful and productive and can highly recommend her work."

Nyei is an incredible resource and would be a valued member of any team. She works from that space of creativity and awareness that some people are more able to readily access than others. I loved her suggestions and her attention to detail, and I would highly recommend her for your project. She really over delivered. I hope to work with her again soon.
