ghostwriting
Having a book with your name on the cover can transform your life: offering you authority and credibility in your industry, as well as added marketing value for your business. Understandably, however, not everyone has the time, skill, or inclination to write their book themselves. With more than 20 years of professional writing experience, understanding the unique motivation and voice of another creative person, and translating that into something concrete and tangible, remains my most fulfilling work. In our collaboration, you’ll be the muse, and I’ll be the scribe. The sooner we begin, the sooner your own words will be in your hands!
promotional writing
Would your work be easier with a training manual, how-to guide, workbook, or case study at your fingertips? What if someone could take the burden of blog posts and newsletters off your task list? Don’t know the difference between an artist statement and a bio? I can develop a written document for your business that is clear, concise, engaging, and appeals to your readers.
developmental editing
If you've got a start with your book, but just aren't sure where it's going, developmental editing will be a life-saver. This form of editing is collaborative, and focuses on improving clarity and purpose while addressing larger problems of logic and organization. This is draft-level editing, and will help structure and flesh out your book. In some cases, we will return to the outline (or create one if you don't have one). If your book is a bit of a mess right now, let me help you clean it up!
