Because your story matters
Book Editing and Ghostwriting Services for Fiction and Memoir
Author Coaching
Judith brings all the qualities one could ever want in an editor, in addition to being a delightful person to work with. I am a better writer thanks to collaborating with her. She is a true gem, and I look forward to our continued relationship.
Working with Judith on my book was pure joy. She was professional, easy-going, always ready to answer questions, and provided a clean, clear copy of my manuscript, ready to publish.
Do you have a story to tell?
Do you want to find and keep your unique author voice?
How can WordServings serve your words?
Book Editing
You’ve written your book and now it’s time for that other set of eyes. From plot and pacing to style and sentence-level clarity, I give you honest, detailed feedback so the story on the page finally matches the one in your head.
Ghostwriting
You’ve got the ideas but not the time. You’ve got a lifetime’s worth of lived lessons to pass on, and you’d like an approachable, capable writer to turn them into a memoir that sounds like you and can be shared with the people who matter.
Author coaching
You want to write, but it’s a lonely journey and you’re not quite sure of the best way to get your ideas onto the page. I offer regular calls, practical feedback on new pages, and a clear plan so you’re not guessing your way through an entire book.
Who I work with
Authors who take their stories seriously. You don’t need to be experienced or knowledgeable. You do need to care about telling your story in your voice no matter what.
Typical WordServings clients include:
- Committed beginners who are ready to learn the craft and hone their unique voice.
- Novelists who’ve drafted a book and are ready for detailed, collaborative feedback
- Individuals who want to turn life events into a memoir or legacy book for family or publication
- Professionals and founders who want a clear, engaging book that captures their ideas without sounding like a brochure
If that sounds like you, I would love to hear about your story.
What I work with
I specialise in voice-first stories told with emotional and intellectual depth.
In practice, that means:
- Fiction
Character-focused fiction with a great story and a powerful emotional core: literary, women’s, mixed-genre, romance, speculative, mystery, psychological, humor. - Memoir & life writing
Personal narratives and memoirs involving life lessons, grief, illness, trauma, relationships, family issues, stories of loss and triumph, redemption and grace. - Nonfiction with a story at its heart
Thought leadership, professional journeys, subject-matter expertise, and how-to guides; especially those that use real lives and case studies to bring the narrative to life.
If you’re not sure where your project fits, that’s no problem. We can talk it through in a discovery call and work out whether I’m the right editor or ghostwriter for you.
