I can’t thank Elise enough for her professionalism and dedication. She took the time to truly understand my needs, guiding me through my debut book on the complex Supply Chain Management industry and turning it into an accessible, engaging read. Elise also brought invaluable ideas, management skills, and branding expertise to enhance my brand. Her keen eye and unwavering commitment make her an incredible asset to anyone lucky to work with her.

Ready to start your book?
I talked about writing a book for years until I met Elise Krentzel, who kick-started my writing journey. By our second session, I was already writing! Elise is fantastic, patient, kind, and knows how to be direct when needed (I can be a bit hard-headed). I’ve never felt alone in the process—her presence is powerful, and I can “hear” her guiding me when I hit a roadblock or try to take shortcuts. I’m excited to keep working with Elise as I have more books in me. If you’re considering writing or need an amazing teacher who truly knows their stuff, Elise is the one!
What happens after writing the first draft?
The real work begins when “big picture” issues are resolved in your manuscript: structure, form, plot, character, digressions, repetitions, and grammar. Industry standards are applied to your work. Your manuscript is ready for publishing once the editing process is complete.
Have you ever read a book with typos or weird spacing? That’s a writer’s and reader’s worst nightmare.
I will ensure consistency throughout the story arc and in each chapter, believability, and accuracy, Additionally, I will make suggestions on chapter titles, table of contents, and indexes. Developmental editing zooms in on wide story elements. Sentence-level errors such as punctuation and grammar typos require a proofreader.

Elise not only edited my book after the first Turkish translation to English was done, but fine-tuned it to appeal to international audiences. Her firm, EK Editorial & Coaching, acted as our publisher, helping with the entire process from cover design, formatting, uploading to Amazon, and all the rest that gets a book out on the market. I am grateful for all their attention.

Ready to publish?
A friend recommended Elise to me for her book coaching services. I hired her to help me with my children’s picture book. With Elise’s assistance, I was able to turn my initial ideas and scrapbook pages into an actual story and develop a narrative ‘arc’ to provide more meaning to the reader. Elise helped me find a children’s book editor and an illustrator, making the book the best quality. I am very grateful for Elise’s services — the book has now been published, and this would not be possible without Elise’s initial assistance. Elise also created my social media pages and tweaked my bio to reflect my new author identity.
