You do not have to figure it out alone
A manuscript can be hard to see clearly when you have been living inside it.
Maybe you have a draft that is almost there. Maybe you are still shaping the idea. Maybe you know something is not working, but cannot yet tell what to revise first.
You do not need a perfect manuscript—or the perfect words to describe what you need—to begin. Naomi helps writers see their work more clearly, protect what is already working, and move forward with a practical plan.
“The author’s voice must always be the loudest in the room.”
— Naomi V. Dunsen-White

The Editorial Approach
Your manuscript should become more itself—not sound more like someone else.
Good editing is not about making every writer sound the same. It is about listening for what you are trying to say and helping the strongest version of the work come through.
High standards. Honest feedback. No manuscript shame.
Crafted with an author’s soul.
Polished with a queen’s standard.
In Their Words
Praise from authors
The most important factor was that her awesome editing ‘magic’ never changed my voice as the writer. Her eyes were keenly focused as they represented the eyes of each future reader. The process was professionally seamless and without any regrets.

Guidance From Someone Who Knows the Journey
Naomi understands the author journey from the inside.
As an author, editor, coach, speaker, and advocate for meaningful children’s literature, Naomi understands that writing a book involves more than finishing pages.
It involves revision, questions, persistence, decisions, and the courage to let someone else read the work.
Her experience as both an author and editorial partner allows her to offer writers practical guidance with literary care.
