I'm Kirsten, a confidence coach and book editor. I love supporting writers as they empower themselves to create their writing lifestyle that fills them with passion and unrelenting confidence. You are worthy of your desired journey. Ever since I was in 2nd grade, I've known I wanted to be a writer – creating relateable characters, inspiring adventures, and stories with a lasting impact. In 2015, after graduating college, I began my entrepreneurial journey as a copywriter. Along the way, I published a couple books (which are now unpublished as they no longer reflect who I want to be as a writer). As my writer community grew and I learned more about myself and the impact I wanted to create in the world, I evolved into a Full-service Book Editor. In 2021, I launched Worthy Writers Editing. Because I love inspiring others to be unapologetically confident, I trained to be a certified Life & Wellness Coach!

#lawdhaveMercer This week I give a quick update on 75 semi-flaccid Hard after a long weekend of wedding-ing. I talk mostly about diets- bouncing back after long weekends, bouncing back after craving breakdowns, and always bouncing back to a healthy lifestyle. Diets are dumb, healthy lifestyles are better. (3 days heavy drinking at weddings is not healthy*). I also share exciting news regarding what is now known as the Bolivian Backpacker Series but will soon be known in book form by a different name. I hired a developmental editor to provide feedback on the first 5000 words of the draft and I was quite pleased her notes and look forward to a new stage of the process with fresh excitement.

Hi, I'm Kathryn! I am an editor and writing coach helping coaches, speakers and authors create an authentic message and vision for their book using my intuitive heart-led skills, so that the book shares their story with the world. While working for a literary agency, I loved helping clients have the best flowing information in their non-fiction books prior to submitting to the publishing houses. Then I realized the publishing houses were not helping authors keep their voices and their messages fully. Why? Because they needed the book to be marketable and make money, so the author's voice gradually was shifted through their process until it didn't sound like them. What didn't shift was my desire to help people get their books created to be the best, well-edited books to put out into the world. One person reached is one person helped, and possibly on the steps towards the healing and knowledge they need to make the world a better place. Helping other people get their story into the best form possible is my passion. I want everyone to have the ability to use their book as the best marketing tool that they have ever had. I want them to sell it at their speaking events. I want them to sell it to people who want 1:1 coaching and are unable to do the coaching, or perhaps, it is a shift to the group coaching and there are details the book has that enhance the group coaching. Maybe it is an uplifting story that will help others healor find a solution to a problem.
