Get your nonfiction book ready to be read

I work with thinkers, teachers, entrepreneurs, and curious minds who want their writing to inform, inspire, or spark change.

You know your subject; I know how to shape it for readers and get your work published. Let’s bring structure and accessibility to your complex ideas. From proposal to publication, I offer editing, coaching, and self-publishing support.

About me

Hi, I’m Maria: editor, publishing consultant, and calm second brain for nonfiction authors.

After 10+ years working in-house at a large publisher, I now offer a range of editing services to help thoughtful people make their writing stronger, clearer, and ready to publish.

SERVICES

SERVICES

For authors who have a draft but aren’t sure if the structure or argument holds together. This is the “big picture” offer.

Outcome: clarity, structure, and confidence the book works.

For authors whose content is solid but who need polish. This is the “make me look professional” stage.

Outcome: smooth, consistent, error-free manuscript that reads like a real book.

For authors who want to go from finished manuscript to published book without drowning in platforms, formatting, and decisions.

Outcome: your book in readers’ hands.

Who I work with:

🖋️ Nonfiction Authors

Writers of nonfiction, essays, and reflective writing grounded in research or experience, both self-publishing and traditionally published

🎓 Academic Authors

Scholars, researchers, and lecturers in the humanities and social sciences

💼 Business Clients

VC firms, founders, and content teams, producing reports, white papers, handbooks, and strategic content

Challenges I help authors overcome:

  • “This feels messy, but I don’t know how to fix it.”

  • “I’m not sure the tone is right for my audience.”

  • “I know what I want to say, but it’s not coming out right.”

  • “It’s too dense / too dry / too repetitive.”

  • “I just need someone to guide me through the next steps.”
