Rachel Ayotte – Editor

I am a creative & savvy nonfiction book editor and writer with New York Times bestseller experience at Penguin Random House

Overview

I am a creative & savvy nonfiction book editor and writer with experience in publishing (Penguin Random House) and journalism (magazine/newspaper publishing). From working with world-renowned psychologists and therapists to energy healers, my expertise spans the nonfiction category— prescriptive self-help, narrative-driven memoir, and the like.

I offer expert book proposals, developmental editing, and full ghostwriting. Throughout all, I help authors find their authentic voices and get published—given my career at a traditional publisher, I am keenly aware of what agents and editors look for in authors and their work.

Together, we'll put your work on the shelves.
