“Dreams look good in your head. They look even better in print.” ~ Jerry Wayne Longmire
You have lovingly created your message for your readers, and now you want to ensure that it is presented well, being felt and understood as intended.
Or perhaps you have an idea—a sensibility—that seems to be urging itself through you, but you are unsure as to the best way forward toward its birthing.
In either case, a seasoned editor and coach who is sensitive to you and your creative process can make all the difference.
My name is Daye. I love working and playing with words. I love the journey that my authors and I go on together. It is a mutual exchange that elevates us both.
Birthing a book from concept to completion can seem a daunting enterprise. As your book coach, we navigate that road together, one logical step after another, often discovering unexpected byways as we go. You may think of me as your personal pathfinder, offering companionship, guidance, and encouragement along the way.
As your editor, I serve you not as a dictator of “the right way,” but as a collaborator, confidant, and ally. The highest possible expression of your message in your voice is my goal. It is my intent to deliver value greater than my fee.
Our first step together is to determine if we are right for each other. You want an editor and coach who understands your needs and intent. I want an author who is committed to their message as much as their authorship. Ideally, we will learn from each other and have some fun along the way.
I am seeking authors who wish to contribute to elevating the human condition, fostering the unity of life in all its diverse aspects, worldly and divine. How you go about that is your unique expression. Light or Dark? Fine. Profane or sublime? No matter. Tragic or comic? That’s Life. I encourage you to speak your truth your way, and show us how to become better. Thank you.
Coaching is your best friend if you have a partial manuscript, notes, journals, or just an idea.
If you have a completed manuscript, we will always start here.
Professional editing ensures that your book’s message is communicated as you intend.
