Jessica G.

Book Editor: Wellness & Spiritual Writing | Yoga/Fitness Copywriter

Thank you for stopping by! I'm Jess, a nomadic editor, wellness copywriter, and yoga mentor specializing in philosophy, memoir, spirituality, psychology, neuroscience, and transformational storytelling. I help authors and businesses turn complex ideas into content that feels clear, engaging, natural, and deeply human. ✦ WHAT I DO Manuscript editing Book proposal editing and refinement Translated manuscript localization Line editing, copy editing, and proofreading Beta reading Website and app copywriting AI content humanization Educational, fitness, and wellness writing UX feedback and beta testing Yoga teacher mentorship ✦ THE WORK I LOVE I'm especially drawn to projects that make complex topics accessible and give people new perspectives on themselves and the world around them. I am selective about the projects I take on because I want my work to mean something. I look for authors and businesses creating work that genuinely helps, inspires, educates, or encourages people to think differently. Whether it's a book that shifts someone's perspective, an app that supports well-being, or educational content that makes a complex subject easier to understand, I want to contribute to something I believe has real value. ✦ MY APPROACH I believe good editing isn't about making every author sound the same. It's about preserving their unique voice, tone, and intended meaning while improving clarity, flow, consistency, and readability. Before becoming a full-time editor, I spent 10 years in marketing, working with brands including MLB and Bud Light. That experience taught me how to balance creativity with consistency, develop a strong brand voice, and communicate ideas effectively. Alongside editing, I've been a yoga teacher and mentor for over six years, with 16+ years of weight and functional training experience. I create educational wellness content and mentor yoga teachers on sequencing and cueing, with a focus on making complex ideas accessible and relatable. ✦ A LITTLE ABOUT ME I've lived a nomadic lifestyle for over three years. This life path has and continues to provide me a wide perspective of life and of those who walk it. I am currently based in Thailand. My working hours may vary, but my commitment to the projects I take on remains consistent. If you're creating something meaningful and want a thoughtful, detail-oriented collaborator who cares about the message as much as the words themselves, I'd love to hear from you.
