Book Coaching and Editing for Books About Animals

Hey, I’m Rachel and I’m a non-fiction and memoir book editor who loves editing books about animals! I have experience working with authors who are writing about pets, animal behavior, dogs, horses, cats, and other animals.

I’m a book editor for the following categories:

Spiritual Self-Help Books Related to Animals

I am a fellow animal lover with a special gift for helping animal experts refine their message in a book about animals.

I've independently authored 8 books, and have edited hundreds of manuscripts as a developmental and copy editor. I have a special passion for books about animals, pets, and the human-animal bond. From pet care guides to animal behavior insights, from heartwarming pet memoirs to transformational stories about healing through animals, these books light me up! I also edit in categories like self-development, personal development, and creativity.

I specialize in holding space for authors to channel their unique stories and expertise, whether they're sharing essential knowledge about animal care, documenting remarkable animal behaviors, or exploring the deep connections we share with our animal companions.

I am often sought out by animal lovers, pet professionals, and healers who aren't sure they have what it takes to author a book.

I am so grateful to be your writing cheerleader, a voice of confidence in your corner who believes in you and in the powerful message of your book, especially when that message helps create better lives for animals and the humans who love them.

Hey, I’m Rachel.

I provide professional guidance and editing support for books about animals.

Writing a channeled book is all about finding your natural rhythm as the author.

Tapping into your innate power— and the power of your voice.

Tapping into flow state— and honoring your body and emotions in the process.

I can help you create rituals that nourish and ground you as you allow the book to move through you.

I can help you set deadlines and meet them— and build self-confidence through the act of keeping promises you’ve made to yourself, and to your work.

I also specialize in channeled editing that preserves the energetic blueprint of your book while helping you streamline the order of ideas and execute the technical mechanics of the manuscript.

I work with precision, efficiency, and divine respect for the sacred nature of channeled books.

Animal Books I’ve Edited

Here are a few examples of books about animals that I’ve edited.

In Unleashed: Holistic Leadership Insights from Our Canine Companions, Rebecca Fitzsimmons offers a refreshing take on leadership. Combining proven tactics with the profound wisdom of dogs, this guide shows you how to master leadership from the inside out. Through actionable strategies and real-life examples, you’ll learn to lead with purpose, grit, and authenticity, creating a legacy both at work and beyond.

I provided developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, and marketing support. The book was a #1 for Business Motivation & Self-Improvement and continues to have more and more 5-star reviews on Amazon. I was fortunate to get to meet Rebecca in person right around the time of her launch and now have a signed copy. This is a beautiful and uplifting book and I feel so grateful I was able to be a part of it!

In Animals Speak, Animal Communicator Rommie Buhler will open your mind, expand your heart and unlock your spirit to this wisdom that animals are determined to share with us all.

Through storytelling Rommie shares insights into how our animals feel, what they are thinking and how we can love them into a life of exceptional health, meaning and enjoyment. The book covers options to deal with anxiety if your animals are struggling, the importance of feeding in a species-appropriate way, how to understand the needs and behaviours of cats, an often overlooked solution to horses in pain, and ways to manage unresolved grief when an animal is lost and never found or dies tragically or unexpectedly.

If you are someone that cares about the welfare of animals, that genuinely has their best interests at heart, you will find this book an enlightening, revealing and insightful read—one that will open your mind to how Animals Speak.

I provided developmental editing and copy editing as part of the Inspirational Book Writers team that published this book. It was a #1 Amazon bestseller in 6 categories in Australia, 2 categories in the United States, 2 categories in Canada, and 1 in the U.K. Rommie is a rockstar of a human, so talented with animals, and a wonderful author to work with. I continue to tell friends about this book and just how special it is!
