Empowering authors, businesses, and industry experts

to create content that connects.

Hi, I'm Shamila 

Writer, editor, coach, and author.

My passion for writing and my innate curiosity to hunt down solutions have led me to this point. Yes, I write content, but as a Content Solutionist, I also love to "fix" content. 

If you have writing and content-related challenges, then you've come to the right place.

My superpower? Putting together the pieces of a puzzle. 

I love resolving content issues and connecting people to their audience. Be it a book, an article, or a social media post, together, we can ensure your content reaches your ideal audience. 

Write. Edit. Coach.

What Are My Clients Saying?

A Woman Sitting in a Coffee Shop and Writing
"Exceptional Author Coach and Developmental Editor!

Like many hopeful writers, I had spent years “trying” to finish a book. It wasn’t until I started working with Shamila that I finished it!
Shamila is an outstanding coach and developmental editor. She helped me shape my concept from the outline to the finished manuscript, ready for publication. From the moment we started our book journey together, she was encouraging me and showing me how to incorporate my larger vision into every detail of my book. She made sure to understand the story I was wanting to share and helped to create action steps that would get me to my goals.
She was always honest and would tell me the truth about my work and would help me get unstuck if I ever needed it. She was my accountability when I needed it and my cheerleader all the way through. Shamila helped me focus and also magnify the potential of my writing. Coaching me and reassuring me through the process.
I am very grateful to her for getting me to the finish line of publication and bringing out next level writing talent that I didn’t even know I had within me! I highly recommend her to any new or evolving author; she will have your back and help you truly achieve your writing goals!"

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a book coach do?

A book coach (sometimes known as an author coach) works with authors to bring their book ideas to life. As a non-fiction book coach, I will work with an author as a mentor and accountability partner, providing feedback and encouragement throughout the writing process.

I have notes and blogs that I want to put together into a book. Can you help?

Yes. I will help you bring structure and organization to your material to develop all of it into a cohesive book ready for publication.

Why a Developmental Edit?

A developmental edit

-looks at big picture issues before line and copy editing

-diagnoses any problems with content, overall structure, tone, clarity, & flow

-considers if any content should be moved, added, or removed

-ensures your book speaks to your target reader

I have an idea for a non-fiction book, but where do I start?

Start with an outline. A clear book outline will help organize your thoughts and keep you on track.
