Need an editor, coach, collaborator or self-publishing guide?

You’re in the right place. Your story is powerful. You have wisdom to share. But you need a guide to show you how to turn your ideas into a published book. As a multi-published author, publishing industry veteran, and writing coach, I’ll guide you on every step of the journey from writer (or aspiring writer) to published author. Whether you need coaching, writing, editing, design, or assisted self-publishing service, I can help you tell your story.

Collaborative Writing

You have wisdom and expertise to share, but don’t have time to write a book. Or, you want to write a book because you know it will give you authority and credibility, but don’t even know where to start. You wish someone could write your book for you. Collaborative writing (sometimes called ghostwriting) is the perfect solution.

Coaching

Maybe you’ve been trying for a while to write a book, but keep getting stuck. Maybe you have ideas but don’t know how to structure them. My individual coaching program provides accountability, encouragement, and customized instruction, via monthly one-on-ones. You’ll go from “stuck” to finished draft in one year.

Self-Publishing

Self-publishing lets you tell your story your way. If you have a manuscript but need help getting it published, I provide editing, cover design, and formatting. I guide you through ISBN registration, and setting up your publishing imprint, guiding you through every step. You’ll go from manuscript to published book.

Developmental Editing

A developmental edit reviews your manuscript’s structure and flow. We check for clarity, consistency, and engagement, offering guidance to improve your book as a whole.

Ebook Writing

Need an ebook or lead magnet for marketing your business? I can write it for you, then put our team to work on layout and design to make sure your ebook stands out.

Proposal Writing

If you’re seeking a royalty publisher, you need a strong book proposal. I’ll create a solid proposal, based on your book idea. It will include book summaries, market analysis, sample chapters, and marketing plans to help you stand out.

“I have known Keri for over 20 years and recently had the privilege of working with her to write three small group study guides, as well as a book proposal that led to offers from two major Christian publishers. She is a gifted writer who works fast and has very thick skin – a rare combination. And she is very smart, creative and soulish, which allows her to add tremendous value to a project.”

“On a tight deadline, Keri was able to do the bulk of the writing on a long ebook. It was energizing to work with her, as she works quickly, succinctly, and is extremely thorough in her research and writing. She is an expert in every way and a delight to work with. If you are looking for a stellar team member to achieve a collaborative work, or need a book ghost written, or just want guidance, I highly recommend Keri. You won’t be disappointed.”

Honestly, the first thing I would suggest for those who want to self-publish is to contact you. You are the reason I was able to successfully publish. You helped me gain understanding. Your expert editing highlighted issues that needed to be changed. I believe having a striking book cover has helped with the sales.”

“Keri introduced me to the stages of editing: line editing, structural changes, and how to form focus in each chapter. She helped me create a uniformed flow in each chapter. Early on she had a vision for the book and helped me to see it and coordinate the rewriting to support that vision. We worked together to create a structure that would help develop the book’s message.”
“Keri has been wonderful to work with as she guided me through the self-publishing process. Her expertise, patience, reliability, encouragement, and responsiveness made my first novel come to life. It has been a pleasure to work with her.”

“If you are looking for a stellar team member to achieve a collaborative work, or need a book ghost written, or just want guidance on how to focus your writing project, I highly recommend Keri. You won’t be disappointed.”

Keri Wyatt is a phenomenal editor. She is a true professional and finishes within an agreed time frame. She also has a rare gift of bringing words to life on a page while inviting the student/reader into an enjoyable learning experience. I have written five Bible Studies and would not consider writing another without Keri’s life-giving edits.”
