Developmental Editor, Writing Coach

I’m a highly motivated editor and book coach who excels in helping clients reach their goals. I have ghostwritten over 20 books (one of which was an Amazon Bestseller) and have edited over 3 dozen others (several of which have been Amazon Bestsellers). While I work in many genres, my specialty is memoirs, children’s books, closed-door romance, and Christian fiction. When I’m not coaching or editing for other authors, I focus on writing my children’s book series as well as a mystery novel currently in the works.
