Revise your memoir. Share your story.

Let's shape your manuscript into the story you want it to be.

You've done the hard part. You wrote the book...

...and it's time to revise.

You've seen the power of others' stories—how they foster empathy, encourage others, and create connections.

And you know that your voice, your story, can do the same. But when it comes to revising your book, the overwhelm hits, and you can't seem to find...

  • a way to clarify your book’s core message

  • a streamlined, start-to-finish book revision process

  • a resource for accountability to stay on track.

If those are the things you’re missing, I’m here to help. We should talk. Because…

Your story can do that too.

Despite what you may have heard, revision isn’t something you can rush.

Quality work that captures your story requires careful thought and planning.

But the pressure to “get it done fast” can be discouraging, leaving you…

  • Staring at a blank page, wondering why the changes just aren’t flowing.

  • Revising without a clear direction, hoping it will somehow come together.

  • Getting frustrated when your vision isn't as powerful on the page.

  • Feeling like your progress has slowed to a stop, and you’ve let yourself down.

You’re not alone.

Whether you're writing to inspire, inform, or transform, I'll be your expert guide, tailoring my support to your revising journey.

With me by your side, you can…

  • Get revising—no more piles of notes staring back at you.

  • Plan your revisions with clarity and purpose, always keeping your vision front and center.

  • Work consistently, knowing exactly where to start and what comes next.

  • Move forward with confidence, knowing what you're doing and why.

  • Finally make real progress on the book you’ve always wanted to finish.

  • Receive ongoing support, encouragement, and accountability, believing in yourself with every step.

“One of the most beautiful things about working with you on my memoir was feeling seen and heard. You gave me the gift of acceptance and validation. And the result of that creates a ripple effect for self-acceptance and confidence building.”

— Amy G.

Welcome to a safe space where your voice, your story, and your journey are honored.

Hi! I’m Maurene Janiece, a certified book coach, editor, writer, and instructor with decades of experience supporting writers like you. I’m here to help you bring your book to life through whole-person coaching.

I’ve been where you are: overwhelmed by revision, trying various methods to fix my book, frustrated, searching for clarity, and even revising one book to the point that I didn't even recognize it.

But I’ve also found strategies for approaching revisions with a big-picture, editorial eye, and I’m here to help you do the same.

Blending practical tools and encouragement, I guide writers in articulating their vision and bringing their story to the page.

I reflect back to you what is actually on the page, what you want to say, and help you shape it into a compelling narrative.

I'll handle your story with care and without judgment, understanding that we’ve all been through challenges that shape who we are.

Together, we'll uncover the emotions beneath the words and fill in the gaps you may not even realize are there.

If this sounds good to you, let's chat about your book and explore how we can work together to bring your story to more of our fellow changemakers.
