Professional Book Coach and Editor
I won't let you be lost.
My Mission
A university professor once told me, "I won't let you be lost." I've never forgotten that moment because it made me feel cared for, seen, and comforted despite the difficulty of the work. And let's be honest, writing is difficult work, but my promise to you is that I won't let you be lost. From creating the map of your story to traversing the roads of plot and character, I will be with you every step of the way. Together, we will transform the world in your head into one on paper that can be seen and enjoyed by readers.

"I had my manuscript read by Hayley and could not be more pleased. She really pays attention, and it shows in her ability to point out discrepancies. She tied the smallest of details together for me again and again, and my writing will be tighter because of it. I consider myself lucky to have her input and I highly recommend her."
