Historical fiction requiring deep research? Technical manual that needs to actually work? Memoir that doesn't fit traditional structure? That's my zone. I've been in publishing since 2012 (former COO at a ghostwriting firm), and I run an author-coaching community and a publishing imprint. I specialize in building scaffolding for projects that make other editors nervous. ICF-aligned coach, healthcare background, obsessive researcher. I don't do cookie-cutter. If your book project has everyone saying "that's complicated," let's talk. Top Rated. 100% Job Success. Every review on this platform is five stars, including a 70,000-word literary novel ghostwritten start to finish. One client who hired 22 readers for the same manuscript said my report was the most detailed and insightful of the lot. Another said I went beyond the requirements. That's not a fluke. That's how I work. → WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN 📚 MEMOIR HYBRIDS — Stories woven with frameworks and practical tools. Not just "here's what happened" but "here's what happened and how you can use it." 🔍 RESEARCH-INTENSIVE PROJECTS — Historical fiction, true crime, academic adaptation. I disappear into archives and emerge with 47 pages of notes for one chapter. 📖 STRUCTURAL SCAFFOLDING — Your book doesn't follow traditional structure? Good. I build custom frameworks for complex narratives: multiple timelines, unconventional formats, books with more than one job to do. ✍️ FULL-LENGTH GHOSTWRITING — Novels and nonfiction from a concept, an outline, or a pile of voice memos. Your voice, my hands, a finished manuscript. ⚙️ TECHNICAL WRITING THAT DOESN'T SUCK — Manuals, healthcare content, SOPs. I translate complex concepts into language humans actually understand. → FULL SERVICES Ghostwriting & Development | Full memoir, nonfiction, and fiction ghostwriting • Manuscript development from concept to completion • Story structure and narrative arc design • Interview and story extraction • Framework creation for hybrid books Editing (All Levels) | Structural/developmental editing • Line editing and copy editing • Chapter and scene rewrites • Beta reading with full written report • Fact-checking and research verification • Technical accuracy review Coaching & Strategy | Writing blocks and creative resistance • Author strategy for unconventional projects • Publishing guidance and decision-making support • Accountability and milestone planning Publishing & Production | Book and ebook formatting (KDP, IngramSpark) • ISBN setup and distribution guidance • Self-publishing roadmap • Production timeline management → WHO I WORK BEST WITH ✅ Good fit: Your project makes other editors say "that's tricky" • You've been told your book "doesn't follow the rules" • You need someone who can handle research, accuracy, and nuance • You want a partner, not a vendor • You value depth over speed ❌ Not a good fit: You need someone to just fix typos • You want cookie-cutter templates • You're not open to structural feedback • You need it done yesterday with zero collaboration → HOW I WORK Discovery Call — We talk about your project.
