She intuitively understood my goal to help people see life differently and preserved my authenticity while editing. Her support took me out of my comfort zone and made my work shine. I highly recommend Susan to anyone with a story to share. She’s brilliant, intuitive, and a joy to work with. Thank you, Susan, for helping me share my light with the world!”

“I met Susan Crossman at an event, never imagining she’d later edit my first book! Susan helped craft a book I’m proud of by capturing my voice, improving the structure, and guiding me with care. She even helped me know when to stop editing and send it to the publisher! Her thoughtful edits made my writing feel more like me. I wholeheartedly recommend Susan to anyone seeking an intelligent, thorough, and caring editor who brings out the best in your work.”

- Wendy Vineyard,

"Insightful"

"I am so glad to have found Susan for my book project.  More than the editing work, she supported my ideas and my vision throughout the whole writing process and encouraged me every step of the way.  it’s through her questioning and discerning that shaped my book into what it is. She is thorough and diligent in her work and I really appreciated that.  I have more books coming up and I would not go anywhere else to get them edited.  Thank you Susan!"

FAQ's

Empowering Your Journey to Authorship with Clarity and Confidence

What services do you provide?

We offer a range of services, including book coaching, editing, and book structuring, all of which are designed to help transformational leaders write and publish high-quality books that inspire and educate their ideal readers, and create a positive impact in the world

Who do you serve?

We work with transformational leaders, coaches, consultants, and innovators who want to share their wisdom and create meaningful change through their books. Whether you have an idea for a book and are ready to build it out, or you have a full manuscript that is ready for editing, we invite you to discuss with us how we might be able to support you to publication and beyond.

How do you support authors who are new to book writing?

We provide personalized coaching, step-by-step courses, and structured guidance to help new and emerging authors develop their ideas, create a writing plan, understand the entire book writing journey, and overcome challenges like writer’s block and imposter syndrome. We aim to "normalize" book writing in your world.

What makes your editing services unique?

Our editing services focus on ensuring grammatical accuracy, logical structure, and emotional resonance. We aim to preserve your unique voice while polishing your manuscript to connect deeply with readers. And we bring a vast array of practical and energetic resources to the task of assisting you to greater author-ity.

How can I start writing my book?

You can schedule a complimentary Strategy Session with us to discuss your book project and explore how our services align with your goals. Visit our consultation page to book a call or click on "Schedule a Call" on this page.

How do I know if you're a match for my project?

Our mission is to support authors who aim to inspire transformation, share wisdom, and foster greater peace and understanding through their books. If you feel your vision aligns with these values, then let's book a time to chat to make sure we're the right fit for your project!

What happens during a Strategy Session?

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your book project, explore your goals, and, if we feel we are the right fit for you, we will recommend some next steps you might wish to take with us.

Why should I pay for professional editing services?

Minimizing editing costs might seem desirable but the truth is that writing a quality book to position you as an expert while supporting your business and mission-related goals is a complex process. High-quality editing will catch errors in writing and logic, help protect you against legal problems, ensure your message is crystal clear, position you beautifully in your right leadership, and support your business. So your book can make the difference in your world that you envision. Not every editing solution can offer that. If those issues are important to you, then we invite you to contact us to discuss your book project.
