Book Editor, Book Design, KDP Publisher, Fiction Outlines

There is nothing more daunting than writing a book, putting your heart and soul into it, and then prepping it for publication. Hitting that "publish" button is a real rush, leaving you feeling vulnerable. Many authors find the entire process challenging and a bit confusing. Others don't know where to start. Sometimes you just want to find someone who has been through the ropes, made some common newbie mistakes, and knows how to streamline the process for others. Because the last thing you want to worry about is whether or not your book is actually ready to be published. Creating something that meets audience expectations in a well-written and professional way is key. That's how I can help you. Before I rattle off all the ways in which I can be of assistance, I'd like to share a few of my qualifications. — USA Today bestselling and award-winning author — BA in Communication — MA in Publishing — 15 books authored and published — over 8 years experience within the publishing industry — over 6 years experience coaching and consulting authors and publishers — online course developer and content creator for authors I've worked with a lot of publishing houses as well as plenty of indie authors, and I really enjoy helping my clients succeed in all the ways that matter to them.

Testimonials

Endorsements from past clients

"CJ Anaya has been my go-to editor for several years. She excels at line-edits, catching the inconsistencies of the story, as well as holistic feedback on where the book could be improved. Sometimes as an author I just don't know what's not working, and CJ has a knack for pinpointing the problem (gently) and giving encouraging feedback. When I have worked with other editors, sometimes I want to give up after getting notes, but never with CJ. I always feel like I want to dig in and do what she has suggested. I recommend anyone with either fiction or non-fiction projects that they want to level up and get to publishing standards, hire CJ. Just do it. You won't regret it. (Also, she is fast and meets deadlines.)"

"I hired CJ for a one off coaching session for the serial I am writing. I thought she was so good that I wanted to rehire her for a much longer period. She is now my book coach, developmental editor and copy editor. C J really knows her stuff and offers a lot of feedback and suggestions about the writing process. She has now become part of the team helping to make my books the best they can be, I would recommend her to anybody writing a book for both coaching and editing services."
