Waxwing Book Studio - developmental editing, collaborative writing & publishing consulting
Maybe you want to write a book, but you don’t know where to begin. Or you’re writing a book, but you’re stuck. Or you’ve written a book, but you’re not sure how to get it published.
I can help! I’m a publishing industry insider with the expertise to guide you in reaching your goals.
Developmental editing can strengthen your book at any stage of the writing process, from book planning to manuscript critique. I’ll offer substantial recommendations to improve the content, organization, tone, and writing style. I can also help you wrangle permissions and reference citations.
Have you gotten bogged down writing or revising your manuscript, article, or blog post? Collaborative writing is a fluid process in which I make revisions for you and write some or all of the new material you need. Every step of the way, my work is guided by your vision and your voice.
Having served for several years on the acquisitions committee at a thriving midsize publishing house, I understand what traditional publishers want. Let me prepare an effective book proposal for you. I’ve helped my clients land book contracts with well-respected publishers.
Want to bounce a book idea off a pro? Unsure whether to self-publish or look for a publisher? Wondering how to reach a wider audience? I offer friendly, down-to-earth consulting.
Whatever the task, I’ll work flexibly with you to chart the path ahead and keep you moving toward success.
E-mail me at jess@waxwing.pub for an initial phone consultation at no charge.

I’ve edited hundreds of nonfiction books covering a wide range of topics, including climate change, natural history, social change, economic justice, mindfulness, yoga, self-help, how-to, parenting, relationships, health, diet and nutrition, holistic healing, business and career, behavioral science, psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and third-wave behavioral therapies such as acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
