Work with Amanda

“You didn’t just write and edit my book. You changed the direction of my company and career.”

When my client, a corporate consultant and executive coach, told me this, I thought, what have I done?!

But then he explained how for the first time in his life, he felt he had aligned his purpose, strengths, and ideal clients, and it changed the direction, scope, and trajectory of his business.

His book has sold thousands of copies, gotten rave reviews on Amazon, and he’s secured new corporate and executive coaching contracts, because he now knows that he helps build leaders from the inside out.

I do more than help authors write their books; I help them crystalize their ideas, share their wisdom, tell their transformative stories, and clearly and powerfully communicate their most profound messages in a way that their target audience can receive and act on.

Whether it’s a book proposal or book, what I create with my clients becomes the foundation upon which they build more powerful brands, grow their audiences and influence, and open new professional opportunities.

If you’re ready to bring your book into this world, please reach out. I’d love to help.

Nonfiction books

Every year, countless people never realize their dreams and goals of writing and publishing a book simply because they don’t have the time or the skill. Just as there are many paths up the proverbial mountain, there are many paths to completing a manuscript.

Here are some of the ways that I can help you achieve your book writing goals.

Manuscript Writing

Have an influential idea and story that needs telling? Working from interviews with you, conversations with outside experts and research (as needed), and any existing material that you have, I’ll take the wheel to map out a compelling outline before crafting each chapter of your manuscript.

Book Proposals

If you envision landing a traditional publishing deal, you’ll need a book proposal. We can work collaboratively to write it together, or I can edit what you’ve already created. Together we can find your “hook,” structure your book’s table of contents, create chapter summaries, and write an Overview that stands out.

Book Doctoring

Do you have a full manuscript that isn’t working? I can help you restructure the entire arc and/or chapters, weave in more stories, or punch up the prose. Here I’ll take the lead on recreating a book that works for you, your publisher, and your audience.

1-on-1 coaching

Are you a writer committed to finishing your manuscript or book proposal and need motivational yet direct support, guidance, and accountability? I offer personalized coaching, customized to your needs to ensure you achieve your book or thought leadership goals.

strategy session

Feeling stuck with your writing? Unsure how to effectively position your book or thought leadership campaign for maximum impact? We should talk. I’ll get you unstuck and moving forward with clarity, purpose, and actionable next steps.

Developmental and Line Editing

You write; I edit. I’ll comb through your manuscript to give you high-level notes on what’s working, what needs attention, and how to improve the flow of your book, chapters, and content. Then I’ll help you line by line to polish the prose and tighten your sentence structure and thinking.
