Manuscript Assessments and
Transformational Journeys
for Authors
Services for writing, editing, and publishing your manuscript.
When I work with an author, I help to reflect the unique, encoded wisdom that they carry- the thing only they know. This emerges through standing at that ecstatic edge of the unknown.
The author writes their most persistent questions, longings, and discoveries into being through their book. Because of the deep nature of this work, the writing often involves long periods of initiation and evolution as the writer evolves into the author- that is, the one who can speak with authority their own unshakable conviction of who they are and what they’ve come here to gift.”
— Dr. Katherine Hall, from Annea’rah Speaks

Manuscript Assessment
This service is for authors who have completed their manuscript and are ready to prepare their book for publication.
Your book is an expression of your gifts and a record of your wisdom. With a full manuscript assessment, my intention is to draw your work into a diamond-like clarity of purpose, voice, and expression. To prepare your book to launch into the world, you’ll receive feedback that is sensitive and intuitive, targeted and actionable. This detailed, personalized editing map is designed to enhance your story’s structure, voice, clarity, and impact. I also read with an eye to sharing your book with the world, so in addition to a full editing map, you will receive marketing advice and a one-paragraph review to help magnetize your book to the right people and communities. With a decade of experience in the publishing industry, and a clear vision for supporting new voices, genres, and creative expressions, my intention is for you to walk away with a book that mirrors your light, wisdom, and authentic voice.
Please note that I offer a Manuscript Assessment, as well as a Manuscript Assessment + Formatting.
With a Manuscript Assessment, you’ll receive:
An in-depth, detailed editing map of the manuscript’s strengths and areas of growth.
Essential reflection questions for your areas of strength and growth as a writer.
Developmental editing reflections on tone, structure, pacing consistency, voice, rigor, plot & character development (if applicable), and overall cohesion.
Reflection and feedback on author voice and presentation- clarity, consistency, artistry, and authenticity.
A detailed pathway to completion, including information on front and back matter, copyright process, and formatting guidance.
Suggestions on grammar, syntax, and punctuation.
Materials for launch and marketing, including blurbs, pull-quotes, and publication categories.
One-paragraph review you can use for marketing and magnetizing the right audiences.
Either an invitation to publish with Books of Eden (if the manuscript fits our categories) or introductions to likely publishers.
Guidance on how to enjoy the writing process, resulting in creative, nuanced, and absorbing writing that will keep you engaged as you write.

WhatWe Publish
New Sacred Texts: manuscripts that convey messages of the deep truth of heart and soul, aligned with the new consciousness that is arising.
Practical Mysticism: ways of bringing magic, mysticism, and gifts of subtle sentience “down to Earth,” so it can help infuse the daily lives of readers.
Spiritual Technology: books, recordings, songs, lectures, etc designed to promote healing and heart/soul/life alignment.
Stories of the New Humanity: personal stories of healing, as well as “fictionalized” stories that convey knowledge of New Earth.
There is a wisdom…
… only you hold, and it is time now for that wisdom to come forth. Our books are already whole and complete, and yet, they are shaped in resonance with your own creative pulse and deep, personal wisdom.
We work together to bring forward into physical completion the book that already lives and breathes within your being.
Something You Can Hold
At the end of our time together, you will have a published book that you can hold in your hands.
Having an artifact like this is a powerful reminder of who you are in your own highest expression.
