Transform your manuscript into a book readers love
Mountain Creek Books helps authors create books that connect with readers. I don’t just fix commas and typos (though I do that too!). I help strengthen your story, refine your voice, and position your book to stand out in today’s competitive market. Think of me as your partner—someone who’s invested in your success and brings both craft expertise and publishing knowledge to every project.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Publishing and 25 years of experience editing over 13 million words, I understand what makes books work. I understand the “WOW” factor that makes readers want to keep reading until the last page. But more than that, I genuinely love helping authors succeed. Your book matters, and I’m here to help you make it the best it can be.
Whether you need developmental editing to get your structure right, line editing to polish your words, a cover design to make your book sparkle, or a ghostwriter to help bring your vision to life, I offer personalized service that’s tailored to your goals and your book’s unique needs.
Let’s make your book shine.
