Self-Help Ghostwriter & Book Coach
Your expertise deserves a book that opens doors.
I help therapists, psychologists, and wellness experts transform their knowledge into high-impact books — ones that grow their influence, build their credibility, and expand their reach far beyond the therapy room.

How I Can Help
Three ways to get your book written
01 — Ghostwriting
I write the book. You put your name on it.
Have the ideas, the expertise, the clients — but not the time to write? I partner with you as a full ghostwriter to turn your vision into a finished, publication-ready manuscript while keeping your voice completely intact.
02 — Manuscript Editing
Your draft, elevated to publishing standards.
Have a first draft that isn't quite landing the way you imagined? I'll restructure, sharpen, and elevate your manuscript — improving the arc, the pacing, and the voice — so it's ready for agents, publishers, or self-publishing.
03 — Book Coaching
Master the craft of self-help writing.
Prefer to write it yourself with expert guidance? One-on-one coaching to help you develop the skills to write, structure, and polish your book from concept to completion — with someone who's done it dozens of times.

About Hilary
A book is never just a book — it's a launchpad.
Since 2008, I've edited and ghostwritten books by therapists, psychologists, addiction specialists, neuroscientists, and doctors. My goal isn't just to help you finish a manuscript — it's to help you create something that opens doors to speaking engagements, teaching opportunities, and lasting influence in your field.
I published my first self-help book at 24. Sixteen years later, I still get emails from readers telling me it changed their lives. That's the standard I hold every project to.

Pete McBride
Witness to Water
“After decades of storytelling through photographs, films, talks, and articles, I was sitting on a mountain of material. Hilary helped me organize [it] into a memoir that feels true to who I am and what I’ve learned. Hilary is ray of light and a delight to work with.” -

Dr. Kim O’Brien
Mentality Wins
“Although we knew we had all the elements of a strong psychology book, we needed Hilary to help us pull it all together. She helped us to reimagine the structure, provide a much needed flow, and bring our personal voices to the forefront. Without Hilary, our book would not have the same quality and impact that we know it will.”

Healing the Five Wounds of the Heart
“Working with Hilary during the writing and editing of my book was one of the great gifts of my publishing journey. She is so much more than an editor. She is a word whisperer, a masterful wordsmith, and a deeply intuitive guide for the creative process.”
