Book editing services for writers
who want to publish their best ideas
without sacrificing authenticity (or dreading the entire process)
Command+Z Content is an editing studio specializing in developmental editing, structure, and content development for nonfiction books. I help authors write and refine their ideas so that they capture the attention of their ideal audience and stand out in a competitive landscape. I use a collaborative approach that's a mix of editorial guidance, coaching, and momentum-building partnership—because writing and revising your book doesn't have to feel like a chore.
Start Here: Manuscript Review
services
Writing isn’t a one-size-fits all endeavor. You and your book have unique needs that can be best served in different ways, but it's hard to know what they are without taking an in-depth look at your manuscript.
That's why I advise every new client to begin with a Manuscript Review. It's perfect for any stage of the editing process, whether you're just getting started, want to do a mid-project check-in, or get a final opinion—and sets a strong foundation for our work together.

The Editor's Notes
Get on the list
I help authors write an irresistibly compelling book that sells their work, raises their profile, and gains them more exposure—instead of churning out uninspired, predictable content that sells them short.
