What it's Like to Work With Me:
"Chrystle is amazing. Without her, writing my book would have been a struggle, but she made me feel like I could actually do it!"-- Cara Metz, author of The Menopause Metabolism Fix (Fairwinds/Dec. 2024).
"Working with Chrystle Fiedler on my manuscript was a transformative experience. From the moment we began, I felt supported and guided through the previously unknown (to me) and daunting process of refining the manuscript. Chrystle's insights helped me clarify my meaning while retaining my message, ultimately elevating my work to its best possible form. I can't recommend Chrystle's coaching enough for anyone looking to refine their vision and bring it to life!" -- Jacie Beth, author of 30-Day Carnivore. (Fairwinds/2025).
"Chrystle's feedback was incredibly helpful. She helped me see the value of focusing on my own story to start the book to build trust and interest with my readers. Her mix of encouraging words and clear feedback was just what I needed. I thoroughly revised my proposal and sample chapters thanks to her guidance and am feeling much more confident about the project now." -- Jenna Jonaitis, author of The Therapy Virgin. Seeking representation.
"Chrystle Fiedler is an excellent developmental editor and brings great skill and experience in shaping health and wellness titles."-- Jill Alexander, Executive Acquisitions Editor, Quarto Publishing Group USA.

Not Sure How to Start Writing Your Book? Stuck in the Middle? Having Trouble Completing it?
You’re a health and wellness expert who wants to write a great how-to/self-help nonfiction book. You might be a yoga teacher, an herbalist, a psychologist, a health practitioner or doctor or another type of health and wellness expert. You want to share what you know with a wider audience, establish yourself as a thought leader, make an impact and grow your brand.
But without the right guidance, direction or a plan, you're finding it difficult to get started, easy to get stuck and writing and revising endlessly without making any real progress.
You may have tried workshops, conferences, critique groups and more but you’re still struggling.
This wastes time, money and energy and can easily turn your enthusiasm for your health and wellness book into stress, confusion, and frustration.
This may explain why according to one stat that only 3 percent of people who start writing a book, finish it. And if you can't finish it you can share it with the world.
