Every book has its first reader.
Wouldn’t it make sense for your book’s first reader to be an expert editor?

“Emily got me, she got my tone, and she got the different facets of my business."
"I have used Emily for developmental editing for my third book, and while admittedly, I didn't think I would need her that much, it turns out I did! She kept my voice while providing insightful feedback and research. I am so excited to launch my book and am happy that I chose her to partner with." –Marcey Rader, Founder, Author, & Speaker
“Emily singlehandedly transformed my collection of paragraphs into a book. She has true developmental editing wizardry (And I never felt she was changing my style or voice). Perhaps just as important: she helped me believe in my book by giving her professional opinion and support. She set an editing plan and then stuck to it like a pro. I recommend her to anyone trying to write a book. She'll take you from trying to the real thing.” –Kat van Oudheusden, CEO, Founder, & Author
This is No BS Editing at its finest.
If you’re stuck on your manuscript or book process, you won’t be once you work with me.
Together, we’ll turn your book inside out, and we’ll provide the high-level reorganization and restructuring you need to let your brilliance shine through.
Who's it for?
This process is for you if you're anywhere on the spectrum from 85% of the way finished with your first draft to "I've edited this thing 500 times and I can't look at it anymore."
Benefits:
- Get that book across the finish line.
- Big picture editing to ensure your unique angle comes through loud and clear.
- Research of comparable books to ensure your book is positioned to meet your goals.
- Stop agonizing over your masterpiece and let someone else worry about being the perfectionist for a change.
When you're ready to take the next step with your book, I'm ready to tag in!
4 Weeks to Publication Ready
In just four weeks, I’ll evaluate your draft manuscript for organization, structure, and tone to make your ideas, points, and perspectives as strong and compelling as they can be.
How it works:
- A $500 deposit guarantees a read-through of up to 25 pages to determine whether your manuscript is ready for editing.
- Your deposit is automatically applied to your final invoice if we move forward.
- I read through the entire manuscript, create a Questions and Suggestions document with big picture ideas, and come up with an editorial calendar, so you always keep the publication finish line in sight.
- I do my first round of edits on the manuscript, ask questions, and fill in gaps with light ghostwriting where needed.
- You review my edits and make any of your own.
- I take the manuscript through 2 more rounds of revisions.
- We ensure your book resonates with your audience through the Competition and Market Research I compile and share with you.
- We talk through the best positioning for your book based on the research.
"The Pocket PhD is amazing at what they do!"
"I’ve always wished that I could just download all of the thoughts and ideas that are in my brain and have someone else there to make sense of them, to put everything into words in a way that is accessible, organized and impactful. That’s what I’ve found with the PPhD Team—they are amazing at what they do, and a rare find after so many years of looking for exactly what they are able to offer.” –Andrea Goulet, Speaker, Author, & Podcast Host
