Authentic authorial voice with professional refinement.
Whether your book requires conscious language and storytelling or creative attention to worldbuilding, I offer author services for mindful writers, from developmental book editing to author content creation.
Mindful editing for authors of nonfiction and fiction.
- Perhaps your work revolves around spiritually, environmentally, and socially aware writing (and those themes apply to fiction editing as well as nonfiction editing,—including historical fiction, cozy mysteries, and romance novels).
- Maybe you’ve written a workbook or journal that requires a self-help book editor.
- You might be an interpreter of arts and culture as reflected through memoir, seeking a nonfiction developmental editor.
Working with Melanie was transformative. She not only refined my writing but elevated it to a level I hadn’t imagined possible.
Initially, I was hesitant about how well an editor could truly capture my vision and voice. From our first interaction, her deep knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for my project put me at ease. Melanie made it clear that she was fully invested in bringing out the best in my work. And she did!
