The #1 thing I see as a Developmental Editor for nonfiction?
Writers skip defining the reader's journey and end up restructuring almost everything.
I'm not talking about just WHO their reader is. But WHO their reader becomes by the last page.
That's because a nonfiction book isn't a download of your expertise. It offers a transformation. And if you don't know where your reader is going, you can't build the road that takes them there.
Without that clarity:
→ Chapters feel disconnected
→ Your message gets muddled
→ The whole thing has to be rebuilt from the ground up
This is exactly what Module 1 of Mapping Your Nonfiction Book tackles before you write a single word.
This course has four focused modules designed for writers who don’t have time to waste on vague creative advice.

AI is a hot topic, especially in the writing field. As an author and editor, I see AI as a tool to understand readers better, not replace creativity.
That being said, AI can be a very useful tool for authors to understand their ideal readers better.
