1-on-1 book services: when you're looking for focused, compassionate editing and/or
compelling writing that gets you across the finish line.
I blend hands-on writing with coaching and consulting, so you get both a thought partner and the words you need. Specific to books, I help with the following:
Elevated ideas
Are the ideas the strongest they can be? Are you seriously proud of it? Will you still be proud of it years from now?
Strategic positioning
Does your book make sense inside your business model? Will it attract the opportunities you want?
Monetization
How can you create income streams while writing your book, and what other income streams can you build when your book is done?
Editing and Writing
How can you make sure the writing is serving your readers? Can a writer/editor really make it the best it can be, and sound like you on your best day?
Here's how it works:
Developmental Editing
Congratulations, you have some completed writing! One writer to another, that’s a win. Next, you could use help organizing, refining and making sure the structure is the best it can be in preparation for publication.
This work may mean several editing passes depending on your strengths as a writer and the results you want to create–let’s discuss the specifics.
Ghostwriting
When your best ideas are scribbled down on post its and buried in 7 different notebooks, you know you have a book in you but no bandwidth to make it happen, or you’re fresh out of ideas but need great content, I can help as a ghostwriter.
We meet to discuss your needs and create a plan that covers timeframe, investment, and number of revisions. All things being a fit, I get started researching, interviewing you, outlining and writing so I can deliver your project on time. Meeting to discuss progress along the way is - of course - included.
The above includes full-length non-fiction books, book proposals, and other book-related content.
I would be delighted to learn more about your writing project. The first step is to book a complimentary call using the form below.
Let's explore!
Share what you'd like in the box to the right, but before you hit send, add a few dates/times you can do a Zoom or phone meeting.
There is no fee for an initial chat.
Totally Over-Delivered
“Andrea understands the business of being an author, the business of being a speaker. So it's not just getting the book out, it's what goal does the book serve? She looks at it from a strategic and a tactical level. She's also got this eagle eye, she picks out all the little things that I didn't. But she also understands the strategy, which is really, to me, rare that someone has that eagle eye but they understand the big picture as well.
Now that I went through this process with her, I feel so confident about my book. It's a really, really good book. I trust her implicitly. She's one of those very high-character people, and she totally over-delivered.”

My book proposal won a full publishing package in the Hay House Book Proposal competition!
"Working with Andrea is like partnering with a happy puppy dog who has turbo-charged ninja skills and the killer instincts of a winner who takes no prisoners. Highly recommended.
I witnessed in real-time in Google docs as Andrea swept through my 50 page book proposal and took it from good to out-standing. It was thrilling. Two months later, Hay House contacted me to let me know that I had won 2nd prize out of 160 submissions: a full publishing package through their Balboa imprint.
Guess who I will contact when it comes time to edit the book? None other than the legend...AJL. "

"I spent decades writing in rigid (& somewhat exclusive) ways as required by my profession. Now, with Andrea’s guidance, I know how to write in exactly the voice I’ve dreamed of and how to defend it when my non-audience and publishing gatekeepers try to silence or modify this writing, when frankly it isn’t for or about them.
Andrea has been a writing coach angel on my shoulder through thick and thin!”
