Most authors who come to me have been circling their real argument for years. They know something is there. They can't quite name it yet.
I find it. Then I show them exactly how to build around it.
My name is Whitney Noziska and I'm the founder of a Narrative Consultancy in Los Angeles. Authors trust me with the messy version of their thinking, and I take that seriously. Cultivating that trust is the part of this work I love most.
Berrett-Koehler Publishers keeps me on their roster for special projects that need a keener eye. Professional ghostwriters consult me and I'm frequently hired by authors after other developmental editors have already worked on their manuscripts. Authors I've worked with have been distributed by Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Wiley.
I primarily work with subject matter experts: scientists, professionals, academics, and thinkers who have something genuinely new to say. I read a manuscript asking three questions: what is this author really trying to say, why should anyone care, and is the argument being made effectively. Then I give clear, actionable recommendations with explanations, so the author understands their own work better coming out than going in.
I'm equipped with an MBA and think like an acquisition editor. I know what gets picked up and why. When I recognize talent, I root for it, and when I see a resonant idea, I build toward it.
Authors who work with me tend to stay in touch.
If you have real thinking and need someone to help you see it clearly, send me a message.

CLIENT PROFILE
I work best with authors who have something genuinely original to say and know it, but can't yet see their own argument or narrative clearly enough to make it land. Subject matter experts. But also fantastic fiction writers, screenwriters and documentarians. Writers serious about contribution.
I invest my time in projects and authors I like.
If you're looking for line edits, grammar polish, or a fast turnaround on a cleanup job, I'm not the right fit.
NOTE
I don't offer ghostwriting services. I can work with your ghostwriter on concept and structure, but I am not a ghostwriter.

I am a really strong editor/proofreader who writes both fiction and non-fiction.
As a writer, editor, copy editor, and proofreader, I've done freelance work for twelve years through my company, Wynnpix Productions. I edited over 60 books of fiction and non-fiction for Booktrope Publishing in Seattle and over 100 for Action Wealth Publishing in London. I have helped dozens of independent writers with everything from line editing and proofreading to file formatting and setup on all publishing platforms. Find many of my books linked on my website, WynnpixProductions dot com.
I also do ghostwriting and copy writing and I'm skilled at formatting and assisting authors in all genres self-publish on paperback and ebook platforms around the world. I specialize in assisting artists, experts, and authors tell unique stories and share their messages, particularly in the areas of health and wellness, business and non-profit management, self-actualization and spirituality, film and media, and all aspects of arts and culture.
I also write contemporary and MG/YA fiction, available on Amazon, and just published a family history in 3 languages. I have been an entertainment and non-profit media arts executive for decades, focusing on narrative feature film and the professional development of writers, producers, and directors. I led a national media diversity organization and have extensive experience in fundraising and advocacy.
As a former film business and non-profit executive/producer, I have researched/written/re-written tons of proposals, reports, business letters, resumes, non-fiction, speeches, grants, etc. plus published short stories. I have a master's degree from UCLA in semiotics, film and media..
My editing work includes fiction (romance, supernatural, action, crime, historical, contemporary; faeries, dragons, a few zombies, quite a few startling true FBI tales; international, domestic, literary); non-fiction memoir, biography, workbooks, self-help and inspirational, business and high-tech, film and all arts. I have clients all around the world, including many in the UK, Uganda, and the African diaspora. I'm a native English-language speaker with a BA in English from a top school.
My portfolio includes links to dozens of published edited, proofed, and formatted books plus grant proposals, published interviews, my own YA fiction and other writing (academic or fiction), and available samples in many genres. I can do transcriptions, markups, direct corrections (recommended), or even a combination. Chicago style preferred; can do MLA and others.
