Ghostwriter, Editor, and Book Coach; Services HERE.
How long have you been working in the publishing industry, and what inspired you to do this type of work?
I’ve been working in the publishing industry since 2014, when I started at a local children’s publishing company as the social media coordinator. I absolutely loved the idea of helping to produce cherished children’s books, especially with a focus on diverse content. I loved my time at the company and learned so much from the different angles of what it takes to publish a well-written book.
What are some of the biggest challenges your clients face when writing and publishing a book?
The biggest challenge in my experience is timing and time management. A lot of people I’ve worked with are idealistic, not realistic, when it comes to the amount of time it takes to write, edit, market, publish (and market some more). When someone comes to me and wants to have a book written and published in a few months, I go over the stages of publishing. Sure, anyone can publish a book in a weekend–but will the book be the highest quality? In my experience, the book publishing process is a form of art–it takes time, energy, and patience to have a well-written, well-marketed book that my clients can be proud of.
What’s the greatest lesson you’ve learned in a professional sense?
Trust your intuition and your instincts when you meet someone. Maya Angelou once said, “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” I stand by this quote, as it has rang true for me throughout my many years of working with clients.
When not working with authors, what brings you joy?
I love this question! My main joys in life are my two young kids and my husband. I love spending quality time with them daily when possible. I try to limit screen time when I’m with them so I can be fully present when we’re together.
Although I love being outside year-round, summer is my favorite season–I love the warm weather! I also enjoy traveling, swimming, pilates, yoga, meditating, and getting monthly massages.
What are your hopes and dreams for this year?
For this year, I hope to write more manuscripts, be fully present with my clients and my family, and enjoy life’s treasures!
