As a Trauma-Informed Book Coach, I understand.
Those lessons you’ve learned in your pilgrimage
You don’t want them to die with you.
You want to get your message out to the world.
And you want it to be presented in the most excellent form possible.
After all, it’s been burning in your soul.
But you didn’t know writing a book would be so hard
How do you put all the pieces together?
What should you include, and what should you leave out?
How do you "show" instead of "tell"?
How do you make it compelling so your audience will want to read it?
Who is your audience anyway?
Is it really as good as it can be?
You Need Help
You want that book to get done.
You want it to leave your legacy, and in the best possible way.
You need an experienced book coach who has been helping authors present their message in the most compelling way possible . . . for over a dozen years.
"Rebecca did a wonderful job editing my book. It truly turned into a masterpiece. It flowed better and had excellent and easy to follow divisions. After much feedback, people are saying my book flows so smoothly and is easy to read and comprehend. I attribute so much of that to Rebecca’s editing skills. She is extremely professional and made incredible suggestions about how to organize places in my book that needed help. I highly recommend her for any editing and organizational editing projects."

I'm Rebecca
And I know you want and need someone who can look at your work with a well-trained eye.
That's what I've been doing for authors for over a decade.
In her testimonial below, Sue talks about how I formatted her book into a "unique and easy to read fashion."
Sue wanted to teach truths about domestic abuse and recovery.
But you know what made her book become exponentially more powerful?
Stories.
As a trauma-informed book coach, I gently helped Sue find stories from her own life to teach each truth. We found the sights, smells, and sounds of each story.
We then incorporated those stories from her own life into each powerful lesson.
"Rebecca did a phenomenal job co-authoring my book Rock Bottom and Faithless: Defeating the Lies of Domestic Abuse with God’s Truth! Staying true to my words and journey, Rebecca did fantastic work formatting the book chapters into a unique and easy to read fashion. Her editing skills were extremely polished and thorough. I definitely plan on teaming up with Rebecca on my next book!"

How I Can Help You
Are you ready to get started on your Christian nonfiction book?
My premium coaching program, Book Crafters Academy, is for Christian nonfiction authors who want the help of a trauma-informed book coach in a group setting.
With other carefully vetted group members, you'll make amazing progress during our intensive, you'll stay accountable, and you'll learn all the steps along the way in the book crafting process. Plus included one-on-one coaching with me throughout the program.
If you’d prefer a more white-glove personal approach, I’d be happy to discuss that with you as well.
Have you finished writing your book?
Fantastic and congratulations!
If you want the trained eye to look for the places where your writing could be reworded so as to explain your concepts more clearly or avoid triggering your reader, I can help you with that.
If you need someone to make sure you’re using the Scriptures accurately, that’s my specialty.
Do you want help with organization or making your book more “show” and less “tell”?
That’s where a developmental editor comes in. My joy is to help others convey their important message in the best possible way.
Do you want someone else to put your material together for you into an organized, smooth-flowing book, with just the right balance of teaching, stories, and the wisdom of others?
You have notes, scraps, thoughts. You have recordings, social media posts, and plenty of ideas you can discuss.
You’re widely read, highly educated (including self-educated), and have notes from books, podcasts, and other sources.
And for one reason or another you would rather someone else craft your book for you.
If you’ve experienced trauma or your Christian nonfiction book relates to trauma in any way, I’m the collaborating author you need.
Are you ready to publish?
Your book is ready to be published. You want it to get set up in the most professional way possible.
I’ve been producing top-quality self-published books for myself and others since 2014. (You can see some of them here.)
I love helping authors get their high-quality Christian nonfiction books out to their target readers.

"Rebecca truly was an answer to prayer. Not only is she a fantastic editor, strong in the mechanics of writing, but she is also well-versed in the subject matter of my book [childhood abuse]. This was such a perfect fit, because she was able to clarify, organize, and offer wonderful suggestions to aid in the flow of the book and the understanding of the subject matter.
She is pleasant to work with, truly is passionate about the subject matter, timely in her responses, and produced excellence in the finished project. As one of my other editor friends put it, it was a very clean finished manuscript after she was done with it.
Many, many thanks, Rebecca, for helping me create a book that will prayerfully bring healing and hope to many."

Are you and I right for each other?
My deep knowledge of subject matter is honed in on two fields, so I can be truly excellent at what I do and offer my clients exactly the help they need. Though I occasionally take work in other fields, these are my primary ones.
The Christian Scriptures and the Christian Life
Do you write from a love for the Living Word of God, Jesus Christ, a love the written word of God, and a love for others?
If you do, then you’ll find that I’ll make an excellent guide on your book writing and publishing path.
I’ve been loving and following Jesus for over 40 years, studying the Bible for over 35 years, and blogging about the Christian life for over a dozen.
I've been discipling, mentoring, and offering spiritual coaching to fellow believers for over 15 years.
I can make sure your Scripture is used in context, with other pertinent passages applied, and consistent with the message of the Scriptures as a whole.
I can help you be confident that your book is Christ-centered and Biblical in the very best sense.
"I love Rebecca’s talent for spotting a good story as well as her professionalism. The work she does on her material is excellent. I know when her manuscripts arrive on my desk they will be faultless. If an editor wants someone who does a really good job on text and editorial they should contact Rebecca."

Abuse, Trauma, and Recovery
Do you write to tell your story of coming out of a traumatic background?
Do you write to help those who are overcoming trauma from abuse of any kind?
Do you write to expose abusive patterns and systems?
Then I’m your book path guide.
As a trauma-informed book coach (you won’t find many of those!), I understand the dynamics of abuse, the brain processing pathway, the spectrum of dissociation, how the written Word of God is used to keep the abused in a place of oppression, and much more.
If you're working with a therapist, I can help you keep your book work consistent with your therapy work.
I can help your book be consistent with the current literature on brain science.
I can help you find creative ways to publish hard stories.
"Rebecca wrote a chapter for my book based on her expertise in a certain area [domestic abuse], and I could not be more thrilled with what she wrote. Rebecca’s writing is clear and professional. I plan to use her in the future, and I would highly recommend her. Future clients will not be disappointed."
