Hi, I'm Chrystle Fiedler

​​

I help healers formulate a unique methodology or plan, and develop, write, revise, pitch, and publish commercial prescriptive non-fiction. ​​​

I believe that with the right plan, people can improve their lives, heal, and recover. In so doing, we help to heal the world.

​​​​

​​​​​As the author, editor and book coach of numerous non-fiction books for publishers including the Quarto Publishing Group USA, Penguin Random House and Inner Traditions, I have extensive experience in shaping health and wellness titles. 

​​​​​​

Whatever you may need on your writing journey, I provide support, encouragement, feedback, editorial skills, and expert advice to help you bring your unique vision and plan to agents and publishers.

​​​​​​

Think of me as a guide, a partner and a cheerleader that will assist you in writing your best book.

Why Do You Want to Write a Book?

​​​​

• Maybe you’re tired of explaining your unique method or plan to current clients or patients over and over when your time can be better spent serving new ones. In this case, a book can be both a valuable tool for you and them and a time-saving shortcut. 

​​

• You may want a bigger platform to quickly grow a practice or business. 

​​

• Perhaps, you have a burning desire to share what you know, help readers, and make a difference.

​​​

Whatever your goals, a book can elevate your presence, cut through the media noise, and help make you a recognizable brand.

​​​​​

Why Hire a Book Coach or Editor? 

​

Working with a book coach makes the process faster and easier because you’ll know exactly where you want to go and have a roadmap, professional guidance, expert advice and the support you need to get there. 

​

​Maybe you’re having trouble getting started or are stuck in the messy middle. You may need help clarifying your idea, structuring your method or plan, or visualizing your completed book. 

​

If you’re further down the road, you might need an assist crafting a marketable book proposal. Once you have a book deal, you may need help staying on track, ensuring you write regularly and consistently, or an editing pro if you’re stuck in revision hell.  

​​​​​​

My packages are designed to help you get from the starting gate, Point A, to the finish line, Point B, and meet your goals, whatever they may be.

​

Idea Definition: Maybe you aren’t sure of how to turn what matters to you as a health and wellness professional into a solid idea for a book. I help you to discover and clarify your concept and conceive a workable methodology or plan that readers can put into practice and get results. Includes the creation of a marketable title and sub-title that captures the essence of your unique book.

​​​

Narrative Structure: You may have a clear idea of what you want to write about but aren’t sure how to structure your book, which is essential in non-fiction. Working with you, I develop a framework that will take readers on a meaningful, transformational journey. This structure will also make it easier for you write content, stay true to your mission and on track with your message.  

​​
