Have you ever

been frustrated because you started with a good idea but the words are not flowing

had the thought that you are not good enough and your story is not good enough

had that great idea but you don’t have enough time to write.

banged your head against the wall or wanted to throw your computer against the wall because of writer’s block

gone back over and over your work and still can’t get it perfect enough so you are stuck on chapter 3

I can help you

Write a book that people want to read with a step-by-step process so that it doesn’t take years to finish.

Improve yourself as a writer by providing feedback, tools, and accountability to hone your story and yourself.

Emily Nielsen Jones

It has been my great privilege working with Elyse who was one of the primary editors of an e-book called “The Girl Child & Her Long Walk to Freedom”. From start to finish, Elyse was a delight to work with and always brought a very high standard for her work as an editor not missing any detail and also having an eye for the larger flow of an idea. She really helped streamline the text to make it more readable and also suggest wording choices that were more accessible to the reader. In addition, she allowed herself to enter into the ideas as a human being so she was both editor and thought partner. She is a skillful editor who I would recommend for any project.
