BOOK EDITING, BOOK COACHING, AND DESIGN
Thoughtful and inclusive editing and design for brave creatives
We support writers who are ready to break free from the old way of doing things.
For a long time, editing worked one way: a manuscript landed on an editor’s desk only when it was ready for publication. The process wasn’t built to guide unfinished books into clarity—it was meant to refine something already whole. But when freelance editors took that model and applied it to books that weren’t ready, something broke.
Writers were handed editorial letters, not real support. They got edits that assumed they already knew how to fix their story. They were given the final steps without a path to get there.
"Very few writers really know what they are doing until they’ve done it." — Anne Lamott
We believe in a different kind of writing support. One that doesn’t just critique your draft but helps you build it. One that meets you where you are, so you don’t just improve this book—you become the kind of writer who can confidently write any book.
Editing assumes you’re ready. Coaching helps you get there.
