Writing is baked in to the fiber of my being. Since childhood, I've been playing with, studying, and expanding my skills with the written word. It's turned into a life-long pursuit to master this craft and has become both my profession and my passion.
I collaborate with women, diverse in ethnicity and lived experience, BIPOC and immigrant, because they have amazing stories to tell. Read about my immigrant connection.
Combining my skill with the role of being your confidant, ardent supporter, and dedicated collaborator on your book journey completes the experience of writing a high-quality book.
Your story matters. I'm here to help you uncover and share it in an authentic, meaningful, and impactful way.
Book writing collaboration
From first words on the page to having your finished book in your hand, I serve as your trusted advisor.
Ghostwriting: I bring your story to life with precision and care, ensuring every word reflects your authentic voice while saving you time by creating a manuscript that meets industry standards and engages your readers.
Book coaching: For authors who prefer to write their manuscript, my coaching provides the clarity, confidence, and structure you need to write your book, supported by expert guidance at every step.
Developmental editing: For authors who have completed a rough first draft, my expertise in editing will fine tune the flow of your words, shape scenes and concepts, and ensure that your story shines.
Publishing advisor: Navigate the publishing and promotion process with a trusted partner who ensures your book reaches its full impact potential.
About the collaboration process
The book collaboration process is as important to your success as the book we produce together. It requires earnest commitment from both of us, and that I see your vision as clearly as you do. Often we arrive at that clarity together. The first step is a discovery process, providing us the time to develop your vision and book concept before we write the first word. I record our conversations and begin to form a rough outline of your manuscript.
Every woman's voice, story, and life are unique, so while each project follows a similar creative path and timeline, each collaboration is unique as well. We will exchange information via video calls, emails, and file sharing tools, and we will meet face-to-face when the need and opportunity arise.
I will supplement our conversations with interviews and research as needed, and work with you to develop your ideas and philosophies as the writing progresses.
Ultimately, I strive to uphold my values, and manage the unknowns to make the collaboration process as enjoyable and predictable for my authors, guiding you through the completion of a book we are both proud to share.
