Writing, editing, fiction, non-fiction, kids'/YA, memoir, wellbeing

Lovely to connect! I am the best-selling author of over seventy fiction titles for children and Young Adults, published in more than twenty languages and selling well over a million copies worldwide. I love to work on writing (incl. ghostwriting) and editing projects across fiction, narrative non-fiction, script writing, books, blogs, e-books, articles and website content creation. Interviewing you or your clients, handling transcription and creating Golden Business Card books for your wellbeing or coaching business is a speciality. So is ghostwriting, helping you craft and structure, and/or editing your children's and spirituality books. Let's make your writing and publishing dreams a reality! As I'm experienced as an author mentee too so I could be a good fit for you if you'd like a hybrid service - for example, to try writing all or some of your own book but with support and guidance (emotionally as well as technically!). You may want to explore co-writing or need more intense help with structure, exploration of their key messages, what they want to share with the world etc. I bring my skills as an intuitive guide and energy healing facilitator to this process too, if invited, as creative work is such a holistic process! I have a special interest in self-help, wellbeing, coaching and empowerment projects particularly in relation to women or young people/children, breathwork, mindfulness, embodied awareness and quantum consciousness (and all the new science!). I have over twenty years experience as a pro writer and editor in the areas of wellbeing, holistic living, coaching, spirituality, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, NDEs, writing for children and finding and telling soul-led brand story. I also have a marketing background (see below for details), so while we work on your book, we'll always have your whole IP and brand in our minds and hearts too. We'll work with an eye and ear on the through line to market. I am the founder of Soulsparks, a soul-led online wellbeing platform offering energy healing, intuitive guidance, breathwork and creative mentorship. I've recently created the Soulsparks Toolkit, a video, audio and PDF resource to guide people into mindfulness, awareness, peace, clarity and harmony. I'm quick, creative and skilled at creating websites in Squarespace and PDF / SM resources in Canva. I have worked for Happy Living.com across books, blogs and marketing content, worked in brand marketing as a WPP Fellow and copywriter under the personal mentorship of industry legend Jeremy Bullmore. I've also written and edited a marketing book project with Emeritus Professor of Marketing and Management at London Business School, Patrick Barwise, and created captions and subtitles in Premiere Pro for a women's football film commissioned by FIFA. I'm currently creating a book of clients' stories for a top divorce coach, all the way from client interviews to final proofread and e-book creation. I'd love to connect if you feel we might be a good match! All the very best, and go create! Kelly x
