Services

With years of experience in writing and storytelling, I specialize in crafting compelling narratives that capture your voice and vision. Every project is unique. I work closely with you to ensure your book or content reflects your story, ideas, and personal style.

Narrative Mapping

Organizing the contents of your book into a compelling narrative requires you to spend time in thoughtful reflection … but you don’t have to spend it alone. As an experienced storyteller, I can help you craft a narrative outline that will function as a strong foundation for your book. With a bold, logical layout in place, your book will be easier for you to write and and more enjoyable for your readers to read. And in the end, your ideas will shine brighter and linger longer. Don’t skip this crucial step in the process.

Guided Writing

Do you have a lot of ideas in your head but are not sure exactly what you want to say in your book? My guided writing service offers you a space for exploratory writing with daily feedback from me on the emergence of themes and traction in your narrative.

Ghostwriting

If you have ideas but don’t want to do all the writing, I can help. With ghost writing, your story comes to life with your voice, your style, and your message. I do the writing; you get the credit.

Editing and Proofreading

Editing can take your book from rough draft to polished manuscript. I help you catch small mistakes and make sure your message is clear. No matter where you are in your journey, fresh eyes make a real difference. Refine, polish, and perfect your words—expert editing to ensure clarity, consistency, and a compelling final product.

Common Questions

How long does it usually take for you to help someone finish their book?

The time it takes depends on your project’s needs and how much you have written already. Some people finish in a few weeks, while others may take a few months. I’ll work at your pace to make sure your book gets the time and attention it deserves.

Can you help if I only have an idea and haven’t started writing my book yet?

Yes, I can help even if you’re just starting out with an idea. I’ll work with you from the very beginning, helping shape your thoughts into a clear plan and moving step by step to bring your book to life.

How much do you charge for your writing and editing services?

My fees depend on what kind of help you need and how big your project is. I like to talk with you first about your goals, and then I can give you a clear idea of the cost based on your specific needs.

Will you keep my book idea and writing private and confidential?

Yes, I always keep your book idea and writing private. Everything you share with me stays confidential. Your work and ideas are yours alone, and I respect your privacy at every step.

Can you help with both editing and writing parts of my book, or just one?

I can help with both editing and writing, or just one—whatever you need. Some people want support with only editing, while others need help from the very start. I can jump in wherever you are in your book process.
