I work with nonfiction authors at nearly every stage of the writing process, whether you have the spark of an idea, a pile of notes, a manuscript you’ve been poking at for years, or a finished draft that needs whipping into shape.

Full-Service Ghostwriting
(Non-Fiction/Memoir)
—> Inquire for rates
Prefer to talk it out rather than stare at a blank page? My process is collaborative and interview-driven: we nail the outline, then meet for regular weekly interviews so you can share stories and ideas while I handle the heavy lifting on the page. You get to lean into your strengths; I lean into mine.
What this looks like:
- Discovery + outline approved up front, then a steady cadence of interviews while I draft
- Typical timeline: ~6 months from kickoff call to edited draft
- Built for collaborative pros—coaches, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who shine when they’re in conversation.
What you get:
- Your ideas and stories shaped into a manuscript that aligns with your reader promise and business goals
- Research and synthesis of existing materials as needed for the drafting process
- A smoother, more enjoyable path to publishing without derailing your schedule
Perfect for if you have a clear message and a story to tell. Schedule a discovery call with me to discuss scope, timeline, and project fit.
Developmental Editing
(Non-Fiction/Memoir)
—> Inquire for rates
Do you have a finished manuscript that could use a bit of love to get it across the finish line?
My developmental editing services are for nonfiction and memoir authors. I’ll review your entire manuscript and give you in-depth feedback and suggestions for making your manuscript “book-shaped.”
Includes:
- First round of in-depth developmental editing
- Asynchronous email support during revisions
- Second pass of lighter feedback after you’ve completed the revision
Option: Want me to do the heavy lifting for you? This hybrid of developmental editing and ghostwriting can be a very effective way to get your book whipped into shape and out the door. Rates vary.
(* Monthly coaching rate is available if you want regular 1:1 calls and heavier assistance through the revision process. Let’s chat.)
