Your Word Alchemy options
Every stage of the book writing process is an important and exciting one! And for that reason, whatever stage you're at, there are ways to work with me...
Weaving together coaching, developmental feedback and creative consulting, Word Alchemy Mentoring is a deep and potent creative partnership.
Wherever you are in the process of bringing your book into being, Word Alchemy Mentoring is perfect for those feeling stuck, uncertain, or just in need of company on the road of writing.
For those who already have words on a page and are looking for a skilled eye to help shape or polish them, know you're not alone either.
Bringing over two decades of experience to the table, I offer professional developmental editing, copy editing and proofreading, all done with a deep reverence for your words.
Not sure where you're starting from? This is the perfect next step.
The Book Only You Can Write is a free workbook to help you find and hone the pulse and roots of your book before you even write a write a single word; and to bring you back to those all-important foundations at every turn of your writing process.
Why work with me?
Words were my first love, so I've always believed in their magic. And after more than two decades of working with them, that's something I've had proven 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 in its many forms, I've found I have a particular talent for guiding that current into shape.
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.
Some of the words I've helped alchemise into life
"Publishing a book is a vulnerable and intimidating process. We often find that our own experiences or emotions are woven in between the ink on the pages, sometimes more than we know or more than we originally planned. This is where Ceryn comes in.
I published my first book last year, and I'm not sure I could have done it without her. Not only did she provide a safe space for me to share my very rough first draft, but she provided structure and support that I'm not sure anybody else would have been able to offer. For that, I am eternally grateful.
If you are looking for somebody to support you in your book, then I highly recommend Ceryn. You won't regret it."

"You are fucking phenomenal!!!
Ah I wish I could put into words how much you helped me with the whole thing - you were the person I turned to when I had so much rage I thought I would spontaneously combust, there when I figured all this stuff out and you walked beside me ALL THE WAY with this book. Like you were sent by the goddesses and angels!!"Michelle Minnikin

"Working with Ceryn has been one of the most aligned and easeful creative collaborations I’ve ever experienced. As an editor, she brings not only exceptional clarity, discernment, and professionalism, but a deep, energetic sensitivity that honours the frequency of the work itself. She held my manuscript with both reverence and refinement, never overstepping, never diluting, just gently polishing and guiding with such grace and respect for the original tone and rhythm of my voice.
Her feedback was intelligent, intuitive, and incredibly supportive. I felt seen, understood, and creatively trusted throughout the process.
Ceryn didn’t just edit my book; she helped midwife it into its next phase with care, sovereignty, and soul.
I cannot recommend her more highly to anyone stewarding work of depth, subtlety, or spiritual resonance. She is a rare and radiant presence in the publishing world."
