Way back in the 1990s, I packed up my world in South Africa and moved to Taiwan. Back then, the street signs on the island were only in Chinese, so it was quite an adjustment—and an adventure—for twenty-five-year-old me. I quickly grew to love life in Taiwan: the food, the culture, and my job as editor of a few English-teaching magazines. I learned a ton about editing, about photography and design, about cross-cultural living, about taking risks, making mistakes, and about trying again and again till you get things right. After many years on the island, I had a chance to move to the US for grad school and to teach English at a university in California. From California, I moved to a rural village in Kenya to serve as a photographer and writer at an NGO. Four rainy seasons in the boonies taught me much more than simply how to effectively drive through deep mud. I learned about humanity, servant leadership, grace, and about listening with my heart. During that time, I embarked on a doctorate in global transformational leadership, and my research took me from Kenya back to Taiwan and on to Indonesia. From there, I moved to Thailand, where I oversaw a leadership development program for Compassion International. In all of this, I continued to do writing and editing on the side. I made a leap to full-time writing and editing in 2016, working for a Gloo, a tech company in Colorado while living on a peninsula in Belize. (Think sunrises on the Caribbean and kayaking the lagoon after work, looking for dolphins and manatees.) In that role, I wrote for companies like Fuller Seminary, Orange Leaf, REVEAL, Dr. Henry Cloud, Remarkable!, Emerging Women, Urban Life Cru, and a slew of recovery centers around the US. And in doing so, I honed my skills as a ghostwriter and copywriter. Meanwhile, I also edited doctoral dissertations for a university where I was teaching online classes. In other words: I love learning, I love variety, and I love a good challenge. After moving to Guatemala in 2018 to be immerses in a Spanish-speaking environment (why not?), I started focusing on editing. And in 2021, in a quest to best serve authors, I enrolled in a certificate in book coaching through Author Accelerator. (At this time, I’m still working on the in-depth course.) For the past two years, I’ve worked with Juli Boit and Elizabeth Harris on their medical memoirs—From Beyond the Skies and What’s Wrong with My Child? I also ghostwrote Finding Grace with Gary Lee Miller. Finding Grace has been nominated for the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and has received five other awards. I have also worked with clients on psychology books—Sharon K. Ball and Renée Siegel’s Enneagram masterpiece, Reclaiming YOU, and Ryan Gottfredson’s second mindsets book, The Elevated Leader. Both these books were released in October 2022. I also had the honor of editing Fire in His Bones, a book of fifty of David Wilkerson’s most popular sermons. In addition, I have been coaching and editing three other clients on business books and another theology book, and I ghostwrote a memoir. So, whether you have an idea that you simply can’t let go and you know you have to write a book but don’t know where to start, or whether you’ve already written your manuscript and need an editor, I’d love to talk about us working together to get your book done—and done well. Experience + training + a love of people, words, and life = what you get when working with me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b7e25f188757b711cc439/1622227743350-P1R6V83JEU4JGZ3QRJ9T/5U1A1323_websize.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b7e25f188757b711cc439/1622227116409-ZKPLI5R2RZRQ57E5BEUO/5U1A1346_websize.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b7e25f188757b711cc439/1622227539242-8K2ZP7J0DPCT6VGTQN7X/5U1A1333_websize.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b7e25f188757b711cc439/1622230690459-TWMN132LLDG2MDDHSNFJ/5U1A1625_websize.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b7e25f188757b711cc439/1622306983001-O9HCKF6V8JHQU0L936EB/5U1A1261_websize.jpg About https://www.bluethreadcoaching.com/faqs daily 0.75 2024-04-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b7e25f188757b711cc439/1622340204229-EY95FJIPGEAKZL3WH22E/5U1A1318_websize.jpg FAQs https://www.bluethreadcoaching.com/clients daily 0.75 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b7e25f188757b711cc439/8817b34a-dba0-40b5-8fd9-c0367df485ec/Superpowers+Through+Music.png Clients -

I’ll make it easier for you with book coaching and editing services. In one way or another, my clients have all told me, “I feel stuck.” Perhaps you can relate. Whether you’ve been working on your book for years or are just starting out, one of the best things you can do to help make it easier is to hire a certified book coach to help you write and publish your book. “A book coach? What’s that?” We book coaches are like fitness trainers who help you finally make good on your writing goals. And with the help of a great coach, yours won’t just be any book. It will be a book worth reading. One that readers will want to recommend to others for the impact it has had on their lives. “But I’ve already written my book,” you might object. Perfect! My team and I can also polish your manuscript through copy editing, proofreading, and book production on KDP. Finally, if you have a book you’d like to turn into an online course, we could help you with that, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b7e25f188757b711cc439/1623356354876-BAO5Y7MDS8U2THQ4YV4B/EFA-Member-160x75-Transparent-1-e1510195495337.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bluethreadcoaching.com/services daily 0.75 2021-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b7e25f188757b711cc439/1622340637264-OMTTCR5MAQOQV5E66COQ/5U1A1625_websize.jpg Services - book coaching When you sign up for book coaching, you get access to weekly one-on-one coaching sessions during which we work through the twelve detailed steps of a book blueprint.
