Experience

1. Founder, Nonficiton Book Editor, and Strategist

   Sage House Editorial, Llc

   Jan 2018 — Present · Evansville, IN, US

   Here\'s the truth: Everyone needs an editor — even seasoned writers and six-figure entrepreneurs. Why? Because it\'s almost impossible to be objective about your own work. And, unless you\'re keeping up with every new release of the Chicago Manual of Style or the AP Stylebook, the rules of writing have definitely changed since your last English class. As a nonfiction book coach, editor, and content ghostwriter, I\'ve helped dozens of coaches, leaders, speakers, and creative entrepreneurs turn their expertise and experience into the ultimate evergreen asset (aka, a book) and become modern authors who effectively leverage storytelling to position themselves as leaders in their industry.Once your book is published, it\'s time to put your words to work. Guided by best practices and a well-organized editorial calendar, I come alongside authors, business owners, and thought leaders to give new life to existing long-form content and refine every late-night shower thought into a publication-ready asset via content repurposing and ghostwriting. Still stuck in the mindset that someday you\'ll write your book or create written content? While comfortable (and safe), remember that nobody\'s ever plowed a field by turning it over in their mind.For more information, visit
