Helping You Bring Your Words to Life

Every story has purpose—and sometimes all it needs is a little refining to shine. Whether you’re polishing your first manuscript, preparing to publish, or seeking clarity in your author journey, I offer editing, proofreading, and author coaching designed to elevate your message while keeping your unique voice intact.

Why Work with Me

With a Master’s degree in Education and years of experience as both a writer and editor, I bring an eye for detail and a heart for ministry to every project. My goal is to help you produce work that reflects both literary excellence and spiritual integrity—because your message matters.

I’ve walked this journey myself—from drafting chapters at the kitchen table to releasing The Divine Plotline series—and I understand what it takes to bring a God-given idea to completion.

Editing and Proofreading Services

For writers who want their words to flow clearly and beautifully.
My editing approach combines technical precision with heart-centered understanding of Christian nonfiction and devotional writing. I ensure your content reads smoothly, communicates powerfully, and reflects both excellence and authenticity.
Editing Includes:

  • Comprehensive manuscript review
  • Sentence structure and flow improvement
  • Word choice and tone consistency
  • Grammar, punctuation, and formatting corrections
  • Suggestions to strengthen clarity, theology alignment, or emotional impact

Goal: To help your words read as clearly as the truth they carry.
Rates: Available upon request (varies by word count and manuscript type).
Timeline: Estimated after sample review.

Proofreading Services

For manuscripts ready for a final polish before publication.
Proofreading ensures that your finished book is free of errors and professionally formatted. This is the final step before you submit for publication or print.
Proofreading includes:

  • Grammar, spelling, and punctuation correction
  • Consistency in capitalization, headings, and style
  • Formatting checks for front/back matter and citations
  • Light feedback if phrasing affects clarity

This is your “final eyes” stage—because excellence honors your message.

Author Coaching

For aspiring authors who need guidance, direction, and confidence.
Sometimes the hardest part of writing isn’t putting words on paper—it’s knowing what comes next.
As an indie author, educator, and editor, I walk alongside writers through every stage of the creative process—helping you move from idea to impact.
Coaching sessions can include:

  • Clarifying your book concept or structure
  • Developing your outline or chapter flow
  • Understanding publishing options (traditional vs. self-publishing)
  • Building author credibility and platform
  • Crafting your voice and refining your message
  • Personalized guidance through edits, rewrites, or launch preparation

Format: 1:1 Zoom sessions (60 minutes)
Availability: Limited monthly spots
