Hey There

I'm a book coach, editor, and published author with over 20 years of experience in both technical and creative writing. I’ve helped more than 120 authors—many of them working on multi-book series—bring their manuscripts to life and prepare them for publication. I know how challenging and rewarding the writing journey can be because I’m on it myself. I’ve published one novel and am currently working on my second (check out my author website here: www.heatherpreis.com).

​

I hold a bachelor’s degree in English with a concentration in Nonfiction Writing and Editing from George Mason University and a master’s degree in Publishing with a concentration in Editing from George Washington University. My background gives me a strong foundation in both the craft and business of writing—allowing me to guide authors from concept to polished draft with clarity, insight, and care.

​

Helping writers move from stuck to inspired is my life’s purpose. I specialize in working with thoughtful, motivated authors who are ready to push through resistance and do the deep, satisfying work of finishing their book. I believe that stories change lives—and that writing yours should change you, too.

​

When I’m not deep in manuscripts, you’ll find me painting, behind the camera lens, or curled up with my dog and a good book. I live just outside Baltimore, Maryland with my husband and our pup, and I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by words, creativity, and people who believe in the power of story.
