You've poured your heart centered truth onto the page.
My developmental edit helps it land with lasting impact.
Feeling overwhelmed with your non-fiction manuscript?
That's not a sign you’re failing; it’s a sign you care deeply about your work.
It's also a feeling I completely relate to which is why I’m here to serve
as your trusty editorial wingwoman and help you find clarity in the chaos.
Maybe you’ve shared your ideas with friends and family about your book, but they don't seem to grasp the emotional weight of it?
Or you keep looking for editing advice in all the wrong places?
Or you’ve even worked with an editor before only to feel unseen, misunderstood and discouraged by the process?
As a published author myself, I understand the challenges you face, both on the page and in the creative process itself. You might have finally typed "The End," it can still feel as though the manuscript is just a jumble of stories and ideas, lacking the coherency you desire to reach your audience and create the impact you know you'll make with your completed work. Navigating it can often feel like trying to untangle a knotted ball of yarn, where every thread is an important thought you can't seem to make sense of. You start to think, "Should this chapter even be here?" or "I know this story is important, but how do I connect it to the one before it?" This is frustrating, confusing, and demotivating – I know!
What you need is someone who truly gets it—someone who sees the purpose and the power in your story even when you forget yourself a little.
The support you receive with The Empathetic Editor goes far beyond the pages.
In my little corner of the world, our partnership is built on collaboration, trust, and empowerment, creating a safe and supportive environment for you to bring your purpose-filled work to life. If the file sits unopened on your desktop for weeks or months, because the thought of someone else's proverbial red pen on your deepest truths is anxiety inducing and paralyzing - I’ve got you here too - I provide reassurance, compassion, and clarity, especially when the process feels difficult and uncertain.
It’s a priority that you feel empowered to make the executive decisions in your book, feeling confident in your process, and achieve the desired results.
Together, we'll find a way to untangle that knotted ball of yarn with all the threads of your genius literary in a way that feels true to your vision. Each project is carefully tailored to best suit your unique needs.
I help you make sense of it all by focusing on the "big picture" elements of your non-fiction manuscript. This is about ensuring your work has a solid, powerful foundation.
