Book Editor for Books About Spirituality, Healing & Transformation
Are you looking for an editor or book coach for a spiritual, wellness, self-help, or transformational book? I help coaches, healers, teachers, wellness professionals, and thought leaders turn their ideas and life experience into jaw-dropping, life-changing nonfiction books.
And I guide you in a way that ignites your power and your voice 🔥
I'm Rachel Warmath, a book editor, ghostwriter, and writing coach who has worked with 175+ authors. I specialize in helping people write books about spirituality, personal growth, wellness, healing, mindfulness, yoga, consciousness, transformation, and meaningful living.
If you know in your soul you have a book to share with the world, and you don’t want to write it alone, let’s connect!
You’re writing an extraordinary book ⚡
Which is why you need an extraordinary editor.
Someone who understands that writing a book can be a deep initiation—a threshold between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
Someone who gets why it’s important that you finally open up about the mystical, supernatural experience you had, or the downloads and synchronicities that keep popping up in your field.
I edit books about spiritual transformation, awakening, wellness, personal growth, consciousness, and healing. But I don’t just fix typos and tell you, “This is great!” I help you dig deeper, uncover blind spots, and lean in to those edgy, uncomfortable things you want to say but haven’t said yet.
We need your fire. We need to see you standing in your power, unapologetically.
I’ll support you in bringing your message to the world without playing small.
The book you’re writing is changing you as much as it will change your readers.
You came into this lifetime with something BIG to say. You’re not here to water it down. You’re not here to make it more palatable for the masses.
You’re not here to write the book everyone else would write.
You’re here to write the book only you can write. The book that will set you free.
And I’m here to help you bring it into form.
Genre-Bending, Matrix-Breaking Books
I work with authors who love to break the rules 😏 and shape the future »

What kinds of books do you edit?
I am an editor for spiritual, metaphysical, wellness, self-help, personal growth, and transformational books.
My specialties include:
Books about the mind/ body/ spirit connection, non-traditional forms of healing, teachings that blend eastern and western practices
Spiritual awakening books, stories about near death experiences (NDE books), 5D consciousness books
Personal development and personal growth books, self-help and self-improvements stories that are meant to inspire and transform readers
Books by holistic health practitioners, somatic therapists, energy healers, Reiki healers, breathwork teachers, tarot card readers, psychic mediums, witches, and yoga teachers
Books by women who are dissolving the patriarchy, redefining themselves, alchemizing past pain and trauma into stories of healing and hope
Do I need a book editor or a book coach?
Depends on how far along in the process you are, and how independently you work.
A book editor improves a manuscript you have already written, whereas a book coach helps you develop, structure, and complete the book itself. Many authors benefit from both. (And I do offer both services.)
If you have a completed manuscript, developmental editing can help you strengthen the structure, argument, pacing, organization, voice, and overall flow of ideas. Paired with coaching, it can also help you think about how you’re going to market your book and whether it’s going to be appealing to your readers.
If you have a book idea, scattered notes, and years of knowledge in your head… but no idea how to organize your thoughts into a book, book coaching can help you turn that material into a cohesive book.
And if you're somewhere in between, we can figure out what your book needs.
What does an editor for spiritual books do?
Your POV is the core of the book. My job is to help the reader experience your voice more powerfully.
A spiritual book editor helps authors turn spiritual ideas, teachings, and personal experiences into a page-turner that their readers won’t want to put down.
I often help authors:
Get to the heart of what they truly want to say
Identify their specific audience (and understand how to sell to them)
Organize their ideas so the book takes readers on a compelling, eye-opening journey (and chapters are in the best order to create an unforgettable experience)
Spice up the storytelling
Decide what to include and what to leave out
Fill in gaps
Nail the beginning and ending of the book, which often need some work in order to make the best impact
Can you help me write a book for a publisher like Hay House, Sounds True, Llewellyn Books, or Shambhala Publications?
Yes. I help authors develop nonfiction manuscripts and book proposals in categories like: spiritual books, wellness, metaphysical, mindfulness, and personal development.
If you're hoping to traditionally publish your book, I can help you think through the concept, audience, positioning, structure, manuscript, and overall presentation before you approach agents or publishers.
What if I haven’t started on my book yet? How do I start my book manuscript?
We start by figuring out what the book is really about, who it’s for, and why you’re the one to write it.
Send me a message and I’ll give you ideas for where to start.
What is a transformational book?
A transformational book is nonfiction designed not only to inform readers but to help them see themselves, their lives, or their circumstances differently and create meaningful change. It’s the kind of book you can’t wait to tell friends about, because it actually inspired you to shift and grow.
Transformational books often combine personal stories, exercises, spiritual ideas, research, and a framework or methodology.
What is developmental book editing?
A developmental edit (or “dev edit”) looks at the big picture.
It answers questions like:
Is it clear what audience this book is for?
Can I hear the author’s voice loud and clear?
Is the central premise clear?
Does the book deliver on its promise?
Is the structure logical?
Are the chapters in the right order?
Does each chapter have a clear purpose?
Are ideas explained clearly enough?
Is there unnecessary repetition?
Where does the reader need more context?
Where could a story make an idea more powerful?
Does the book feel cohesive from beginning to end?
Does the opening or conclusion really wow the reader?
Why would I want to work with you as my book editor?
Because you want a book editor who goes beyond the surface, who sees you as a whole person, and who draws out the best in you.
More courage.
More confidence.
More trust in your own voice.
I can help you nail all the technical aspects of a solid manuscript (that’s the boring part, though ;)
What you really need is someone who can see into the soul of your book and hold the energy of this is complete, I’m a successful author before you even feel that way.
I’ve worked with 175+ authors, and I bring a keen editorial eye and a clear sense of what it takes to make your book succeed and stand out.
I also create space for the inner transformation that will catapult you into a quantum leap in your life, both personally and professionally.
What kind of people do you work with?
I work with coaches, yoga teachers, wellness professionals, healers, spiritual teachers, meditation teachers, therapists, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, creatives, teachers, speakers.
I edit books for feminists, queer folks, magicians, mystics, rebels, artists, seekers, visionaries, and people with a powerful personal story to share.
I love working with neurodivergent authors, witches, intuitives, activists, empaths, bodyworkers, shamans, dreamers, people who think outside the box, change-makers, cultural disruptors, and spiritual entrepreneurs.
You don’t even need to think of yourself as a “writer.” You just get to be unapologetically, authentically you.
Why work with me?
