Writing, Mentoring and Coaching Services

I have been a writer and editor since 2014 and have completed over 200 writing and editing projects. I am now focusing on writing-related projects rather than editing services.
Works I have written or edited have been finalists in several awards.

Client projects have included:

history and general non fiction books
instruction, self-help and recipe books
courses
oracle and message cards
anthologies
short stories, novellas and novels
fiction collections.

Within these fields I have been engaged as a project manager, researcher, writer, interviewer, developmental editor, structural editor, copyeditor, anthologist and ghost writer, and have worked in the genres of Speculative Fiction, Nonfiction, Inspirational and Wellness.

I offer the following services:

book planning
author mentoring
structural reports
research
writing
ghost writing
project management.

Many authors – even experienced ones – seek advice on book planning or content either before or during their project. I help authors and organisations present their information and experience clearly, completely and in a logical order so their content is engaging and easy for a reader to follow.

I work with authors who:

have plenty to say but don’t know how to present it
have challenges in transferring their knowledge and message into written content
first-time authors who have little or no understanding of publishing and industry requirements.
accomplished authors who need an extra set of eyes, feedback or thoughts on their direction with a project.

The first hurdle for many authors is working out where to start – then sometimes how to keep going. As well as offering nonfiction editing services, I offer several types of one-hour consultation services to discuss your ideas, create a plan or even to help you where you may be stuck. I offer these services to assist you along your path, based on your own unique needs.

I work with you to help you present your words in your own unique way.

A clear vision

Louise has been a valued member of my team for many years. She has been my lead structural editor, helping authors with non-fiction books across genres as diverse as memoir, business and personal development.
Louise has the rare skill of seeing a clear vision not only of what the manuscript is now, but what its potential is, and the many forms that could take. She then guides the author to find which vision aligns with their goals and dreams for the book and through a collaborative editing process, helps them bring this to life. She is a true gift to any author lucky enough to work with her.

Meticulous Eye For Detail

Louise has a meticulous eye for detail and an in-depth knowledge that elevates a manuscript from great to outstanding! I have used Louise’s comprehensive editing service and could not be happier with the result. She gets to the heart of the author’s story and her constructive feedback transforms it into a cohesive, well-structured and entertaining read.
Thank you, Louise, for your professionalism and enthusiasm – you are a pleasure to work with!

Louise Gets It!

As an editor, Louise has shown an uncanny ability to understand my work at a deep level, and she deftly guides me into better realizing its potential. Beyond surface-level issues of conventions and style—at which she excels—Louise has helped me make my characters more consistent, my plots more compelling, my themes more impactful.
Without an editor of her caliber, my Garza Twins series would not have received the same degree of critical acclaim and recognition. She shepherds and stewards an author’s vision through respectful and amicable interactions—you will find her skills and charm wholly irresistible and utterly indispensable.
