Words change the world. Why not yours?

You bring your creative brainchild.

I’ll bring an overdeveloped sense of empathy, a fresh perspective, and all the enthusiasm.

Let’s get into some word therapy, shall we? ♡

I'm into it.

You have a story. It’s real. It’s raw. It’s you.

It’s…something. You love it. But you also

kind of

hate it? Welcome to

Mind & Mint Editorial.

Together, we’ll elevate your labor of love from a work in progress to a work of art.

I’ve lived in the world of individualized services my entire career. Every creator is different, every editor is different, every collaboration is different, and every manuscript is different. My manuscript development and coaching services are customized to you, your project, and the needs of both.

Scroll if you’re ready to do this thing!

Manuscript Development Services (i.e., Word Therapy)

As a writer and a visual artist, I understand the guts and the glory of the artistic process. I also understand more often than not, we aren’t the best person to review our own work—we’re too close. Let me be the mediator between you and your manuscript darling.

 

Manuscript Coaching

You sit and stare at your computer screen for hours. There is a book inside you, perhaps you’ve even outlined or drafted it, but you’re still feeling lost in the process. You are wrestling with creative demons like self-doubt and analysis paralysis, plagued by the question, What’s next?

Manuscript coaching may be just what you need. We’ll get you clear, organized, and motivated, working together to build out your creative vision. Let’s get that solid draft vibe going.

Manuscript Evaluation

You have a draft of your manuscript, but whenever you review it, you can’t shake the feeling that your book is just not booking. You’re not sure if you should keep revising yourself or hire an editor…not to mention you’re not even sure what kind of editor to look for at this point. I got you.

With a manuscript evaluation, I’ll review your manuscript and provide you with a recommendations roadmap to bring your book to life.

Course & Materials Creation

You have written a book and you want to do something with it. You know that your manuscript, once published, will offer valuable education and lessons to your readers, and you want to build on that potential—perhaps a workshop, a workbook, or even a course. Guess what? You’re in luck.

We will work through your manuscript and dive right into creating the course and materials you need in order to reach your audience so you can teach them..

Specializing in personal development, self-help, memoir, and nonfiction centering mental health, education, trauma, and transformation.

Yes please.

All projects begin with a discovery call and a manuscript assessment. Ensuring we are a good creative fit is paramount to our potential partnership.

  • "You should definitely hire Lessie. That’s it. That’s the whole pitch."

    Carson Patrick Bowie, Author, Charlie Lavender Series

  • "Lessie made the process easy, but also pushed me out of my bubble in a way that made me step outside of my head and look at my work objectively. I need more of that in my life. She exceeded expectations, and helped my manuscript reach its full potential. I'll work with her again soon."

    Thomas Hinds, Author, Poet, and Musician, Thomas Hinds Media

  • "Lessie is a rockstar. Warm, responsive, and thorough...she took all the information in my head and got it on paper. I would absolutely work with her again."

    Kelly H., Business Owner
