Services for Writers
My qualifications are unusual, in that I’m trained in the full spectrum of book coaching and editing. That means I can see a project through from start to finish.

Editing Services
Hi, I’m Ellie!
I’m a highly trained editor and certified book coach specializing in memoir and narrative nonfiction. I believe that we learn through stories, and that we’re always telling ourselves stories about our lives. Some of these narratives are true, and some are harmful interpretations that get stuck on rewind in our heads. Writing your true story is transformative not only for you, but for the reader, too.
I’ve worked with over 75 authors who have published with HarperCollins, Douglas & McIntyre, Jessica Kingsley, university presses, and small presses, as well as with authors who have chosen to self-publish. I bring over twenty years of experience to this transformative work of midwifing stories onto the page and into the hands and hearts of readers.
"Ellie did two or three rounds of editing on my book. Her editorial letter gently prompted me to share more of my personal story and guided me in revising. That was followed by an exquisitely careful line edit. Important life events kept happening while working on my book, and her help made my task so much more manageable."
