"Rachel, thank you for talking me down from my ledge when I was freaking out about sharing too much information about myself in my book! You told me to take a breath and consider keeping what I wrote just as it was as my readers would appreciate my authenticity and may even say, "Wow, someone gets me." Thank you for being the best editor a first-time author could ever ask for!"
Maria Piantanida, PMHNP, Bestselling Author of The Simple Art of Getting Unstuck

"I am eternally grateful for the chance to work with Rachel. She is helpful with guidance, insights, and tools; she is generous with her time while also holding the container of a group so well, and she is incredibly supportive—my own writing cheerleader. Without the accountability of the group and without Rachel’s energy, I would not be writing as much as I am."
Siarra Layla Sens, Jungian Counselor and Coach, Depth Therapist, Shadow and Dream Worker
Book editing is sacred work.
I’m here to help you develop your ideas and increase your confidence throughout the revision process. I work with authors at various stages of the editing process, including both high-level developmental book editing and line-by-line copy editing. Clients have often said they appreciate my careful eye for detail, my warmth and encouragement, and my practice of highlighting not only what needs to change in your manuscript but also what’s working well.
Support for your manuscript and your overall wellbeing
Personalized Coaching
Let’s hop on Zoom and get real about your book. We'll discuss your fears, doubts, and hesitations, perhaps even exploring how your inner critic is holding you back.
High-level Developmental Editing
During the first pass, I focus on structure, organization, and overall flow of the manuscript to help you gain clarity and confidence.
Detailed Copy Editing
I'll meticulously check for grammar, punctuation, and consistency to ensure your book is polished and error-free.
I obsess over wordsmithing— but more than that, I want to help you grow and evolve as a human being.
As your book editor, I show up with more than just technical expertise. I show up ready to help you become the author you’re meant to be. Publishing requires inner courage, self-awareness, self-care, and a high level of attention to detail.
I can help you think through not just how the words are looking on the page, but also how you’re feeling about your launch.
Let’s elevate your confidence, through the process of publishing your book.
Writing a book about animals? I’d love to edit it.
Writing a channeled book? I can help.
First-Time Author Testimonial
Brock is a drummer and photographer who decided to publish a badass book about all of his adventures seeing rock concerts growing up. I loved helping him bring the vision to life! 🤘🏻
Beyond Your Book
There are plenty of editors out there who only want to clean up your grammar, punctuation, and style.
I want to help you become a stronger, more confident person through the process of publishing your book.
When you work with me, we go deeper than just the surface layer of words on the page. We’re collaborating on a soul level.
Finding tools to help you release self-doubt, find your voice, and step into your power. It’s an identity shift— a claiming of your seat at the table of authors, thought leaders, and community builders who are changing the world.
