Work with the writer behind eight national bestsellers.

Developmental editing is the art of developing a book from the initial concept onward, working closely with the author to create a product that stands out and meets the author's publishing goals.

Developmental editing can include writing, ghostwriting, rewriting, and line editing. In addition to developmental editing, I often help clients with project management to see their self-published books through the design, print, and e-book steps.

I have helped nearly a hundred authors create successful books in the areas of health, medicine, professional services marketing, business skills and leadership, and life and health coaching. Many have been Amazon top seller and bestsellers.
