Self-Help Book Editing for Authors Who Value Clarity and Credibility

I specialize in copyediting self-help books, partnering with serious authors to refine clarity, strengthen structure, and preserve authentic voice.

Professional Copyediting for Self-Help Authors

Strong ideas deserve clear expression.

Many self-help manuscripts struggle not because the insights are weak, but because the structure, flow, or clarity prevents the reader from understanding the message.

As a professional copyeditor specializing in self-help and personal development nonfiction, I help authors:

  • Clarify complex ideas

  • Improve organization and logical flow

  • Strengthen tone and consistency

  • Enhance reader trust

  • Polish language while preserving voice

The result is a manuscript that feels confident, credible, and ready for publication.

  • "Thank you for bringing clarity, rhythm, and life to these pages. Your careful edits, thoughtful suggestions, and dedication to the smallest of details made a world of difference in both the final product and elevating the flow of the book...your ability to refine without losing my voice and your care in making sure every word was perfect helped shaped this book into something I'm truly proud of."

  • I had the pleasure of hiring Jodi Unsinger to proofread several blog posts for my site, www.theinsightfuleditor.com, and her work was exceptional. Jodi brings a thoughtful balance of precision and care to every project—her queries were gentle yet insightful, and her fact-checking skills gave me complete confidence in the accuracy of the final pieces. She understood the scope from the start, worked efficiently, and delivered everything right on schedule. I’d gladly work with her again and highly recommend her for nonfiction copyediting and proofreading.
