I help authors discover the wonder of their own voice, uncover the beauty within their story, and birth their offering into the world.

“Working with Linda Sparrowe is the very best thing an aspiring author can do. Her skill, expertise, and loving guidance is a gift to publishers.”

–Beth Frankl, executive editor, Shambhala Publications

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

As your partner in the writing process, I want to help you tell your story and create the book you’ve always wanted to write. There are several ways in which we can work together, depending on what you’re working on, where you are in the process, and what you need in order to make things happen.

  • I offer a block of ten one-hour sessions, which is an ideal way to begin our collaboration. Even two or three conversations can help me get to know your voice and your story; they can help you decide whether I’m the one you want to work with; and can help us chart a path toward sharing that story with the world.

  • Almost without exception, agents and publishers will not consider your book idea without a comprehensive book proposal. And book proposals are tough! I’ve written scores of these over the years that have resulted in book contracts and I’d love to help you create one that agents and publishers will love!

  • Writing a book is hard — it just is. If you’re wanting to pen your own offering, you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s collaborate! I get involved in any and all aspects of the creative process—as a developmental editor or a full-on ghostwriter. Wherever you are in the process, I can help you find your structure, strengthen your voice, navigate roadblocks, and keep moving forward. Every book is different, so our collaboration will be tailored to the needs of your project. Let’s have a conversation and see what you need and how I can help.

WORK WITH LINDA

ABOUT LINDA

I’ve been in the yoga and mindfulness arena for more than 30 years, which has informed my unique approach to the writing process. For the last 20 years, I have been a coach, developmental editor, collaborator, and ghostwriter, focused on helping aspiring writers navigate the book-writing world. My clients have ranged from a TV talk show personality to a neuroscientist/ integrative MD in San Francisco and an acupuncturist in Beverly Hills, to psychotherapists, yoga celebrities, self-help experts, memoirists, and even an 80-year-old shaman.

My services include working with authors during any phase of the writing journey. I will brainstorm and refine ideas; collaborate on or ghostwrite a book proposal; develop (or ghostwrite) a manuscript; and pitch to agents or publishers with whom I have personal relationships.
