• WORD ALCHEMY

    Coaching and editorial support to help your words remember their magic.

  • There is a book inside you.
    Not just pages and chapters, but a current of wisdom that lives within your bones; a spellbinding voice that is waiting patiently for you to give it form, and a life-changing story that must be remembered to be written.

    This is the work of Word Alchemy, where we bring into being the words which will be your legacy.

  • I believe every word you write is a spell of intention, and every story a ritual of becoming.

    As a Word Alchemist I don't just polish sentences, I listen to what lives beneath them.

    I walk with the Soul of your words, supporting you to translate its pulse into a language that feels alive; wild enough to move people, rooted enough to change words.

  • What is Word Alchemy?

    You know this isn't just about writing a book, it's about bringing something sacred into form.

    It's about weaving together the threads of wisdom and knowledge, those of intuition and experience, into a language that lands in hearts and bodies.

    Blending together the skills of coaching, creative consulting and developmental editing, this is book midwifery with Soul and roots.

    It's the kind of support that takes your words from whispers and dreams into to something tangible that can be read, heard and remembered.

  • Why work with me?

    I've always believed in the magic of words. And in over two decades of working with them, that's something that's been proven to me time and time again.

    From corporate communications to spiritual storytelling, I've seen how words can change lives for both the author and their readers.

    As both a published author and a developmental editor, I understand both the craft and the current of creation that moves beneath all powerful writing. And through Word Alchemy I've found I have a particular talent for guiding that current into form.

    So whether you're crafting a book or shaping the message that sits at the core of your work, this is where we turn your words into living legacy.

  • Alchemising your magic

    Every book — and every author — is different. So if you're ready to weave your words into spells, there are three possible pathways:

    The Quickening

    A potent spark for the words that are calling you.

    When an idea first stirs, clarity and momentum are exactly the catalysts you need. In this three-hour deep dive, we'll map your book's soul, build its structure, and tune into the creative current that is calling to you.

    The Quickening includes:

    • An initial three-hour deep dive session held online with a recording shared with you.
    • Written developmental feedback on up to 10,000 words
    • One 60-minute follow-up session booked within four weeks of our original meeting.

    £444

    Weaving With Words

    A steady rhythm for longer-term creative support.

    For creators in the midst of their writing, this is where we weave together consistently, offering you the support that will keep you on track for the whole of your writing journey and allow you to deepen the initiatory process of writing with Soul..

    Through Weaving With Words you'll receive:

    • Two one-hour sessions each month for discussion, coaching and in-person feedback.
    • Written developmental feedback on up to 20,000 words each month.
    • Ongoing support via a shared document and through other communication channels so your questions and lightbulb moments don't have to wait until our next session.

    The Birthing Portal

    A three-month initiation into your book's becoming, offering guidance structure and activation for the book that is ready to be born.

    For creators in the midst of their writing, this is where we weave together consistently, offering you the support that will keep you on track for the whole of your writing journey and allow you to deepen the initiatory process of writing with Soul.

    • Six one-hour live sessions spread across three months.
    • Developmental feedback on up to 25,000 words per month.
    • A co-created book pathway document, gathering the threads of your book into one clear, following plan which we can refer to time and time again while leaving space for the book's unique energy to build.
