Hi, my name’s Amanda Ibey. I’m a nonfiction collaborative writer and editor who has helped multiple NYT and WSJ bestselling authors write books that transform their audiences, their businesses, and their lives.

My clients have included:

Jim Kwik, LIMITLESS DAILY
Todd Herman, THE ALTER EGO EFFECT
Keith Ferrazzi, LEADING WITHOUT AUTHORITY
Pedram Shojai, TRAUMA and EXHAUSTED

In addition to writing full manuscripts with authors, I also pen book proposals and work as a book doctor, developmental and line editor, and as a book coach for writers wanting a little extra support and guidance.

My work spans self-help and personal development, health and wellness, business and leadership, spirituality, and transformational and motivational nonfiction.

If you’re looking to learn about the ins-and-outs of writing nonfiction books, check out my newsletter Digging for Light. Twice a month I go deep into the mechanics of how we build books and how books build us.

If the time for your book is now, let’s talk.
