Want help developing or polishing your manuscript? I am a certified book coach who works with mission-driven writers, such as a sustainability expert wanting to attract a broader audience, a self-help aficionado considering their drafted book's structure and theme, or a first-time memoirist or historical fiction author wanting input on narrative arc in a work about human nature or overlooked individuals in history.

 

Reach out for a 30 min. free session for collaborating to refine your nonfiction, memoir, or historical fiction book idea and outline, to develop a memoir or NF book proposal, or to get your manuscript or proposal evaluated; I also provide services for polishing sentences, and guidance on traditional pitching and self-publishing, as well as ghostwrite select nonfiction.

I truly enjoyed working with Barbra. Her attention to detail and suggestions exceeded my expectations. Initially she started by copyediting and proofreading my memoir, but after working through my initial manuscript and seeing its potential, she gave me some recommendations on where we could improve the project. We decided to continue the work and through additional developmental editing we created a new manuscript that vastly improved the book. All I can say is that I’m grateful for her suggestions! I am thankful for her enthusiasm and willingness to immerse herself in the subject of my book. I strongly recommend Barbra!
