Writing a book is a transformative and highly rewarding process—but it’s not an easy one. We all need support to bring the best of our ideas to life in the most clear, authentic and impactful way.

That’s where I come in.

In an immersive and personalized process, we work together to clarify your vision, attune to your true voice, and find the path of least resistance to executing your ideas.

Whether you’re working with the seeds of a new idea or a completed first-draft manuscript, I’ll meet you where you’re at and provide whatever level of support—both high-level and hands-on—is needed.

You’ll have not only a meticulous editor and seasoned collaborator by your side, but also a compassionate guide and coach. I bring to this process more than 15 years of experience as a professional editor and collaborative writer, and on a more subtle level, a decade-plus of wisdom and techniques gained from collaborating with world-class spiritual teachers, healers, coaches and therapists.

My clients have landed six-figure book deals with major publishers including Penguin Random House, St. Martin’s Press, Hay House and Hachette; while others have sold thousands of copies of self-published books of exceptional quality. (More than one has referred to me as their “secret weapon”!)

What is a book doula?

Who do I work with?

A “book doula” is a unique role that combines developmental editing, collaborative writing, creative strategy and intuitive guidance.

I offer support with both the big-picture visioning and line-by-line editing needed to write and publish a book that fulfills its greatest promise and potential.

This may include:

• Concept development

• Book proposal strategy and development

• Deep structural editing

• Co-writing and/or supplemental collaborative writing (ie, I can write in your voice)

• Creative guidance and deeper support around the challenges, emotions and obstacles that arise as part of the “inner work” of writing a book

• Consultation and guidance around the various pathways to publication

• Book marketing and author platform support

No two creative processes are the same, and the way I work with each client is unique to their needs.

It’s my pleasure to support emerging authors in the process of finding their voice and bringing their most important and soulful work into form.

I specialize in books exploring topics within the realms of psychology, health and wellness, personal transformation and spirituality—books that offer wisdom for living well, understanding ourselves and others, and creating change. The authors I work with have important wisdom and unique perspectives to shared based on years of experience and expertise.

My eclectic clientele includes therapists, Ivy League psychologists, consciousness researchers, Brazilian shamans, Vedic spiritual teachers, executive coaches, and creative entrepreneurs.

I know how to help authors write books that stand out—and transmit authenticity and heartfelt wisdom—within the crowded self-help and creative non-fiction space.
