I can’t thank Elise enough for her professionalism and dedication. She took the time to truly understand my needs, guiding me through my debut book on the complex Supply Chain Management industry and turning it into an accessible, engaging read. Elise also brought invaluable ideas, management skills, and branding expertise to enhance my brand. Her keen eye and unwavering commitment make her an incredible asset to anyone lucky to work with her.

I had the pleasure of working with Elise for the last six months as my book coach, editor, and guide. A seasoned professional who leads with her heart, she has helped me find my voice. I am indebted to her for her guidance and wisdom in taking on the challenge. She was patient when I needed the space, stern when I needed the push, and empathetic when I needed to be understood. For almost 30 years, I have carried the dream to ink my thoughts in a way that will impact my audience. Elise’s skills and experience translated into making my book a reality!

I talked about writing a book for years until I met Elise Krentzel, who kick-started my writing journey. By our second session, I was already writing! Elise is fantastic, patient, kind, and knows how to be direct when needed (I can be a bit hard-headed). I’ve never felt alone in the process—her presence is powerful, and I can “hear” her guiding me when I hit a roadblock or try to take shortcuts. I’m excited to keep working with Elise as I have more books in me. If you’re considering writing or need an amazing teacher who truly knows their stuff, Elise is the one!

Elise not only edited my book after the first Turkish translation to English was done, but fine-tuned it to appeal to international audiences. Her firm, EK Editorial & Coaching, acted as our publisher, helping with the entire process from cover design, formatting, uploading to Amazon, and all the rest that gets a book out on the market. I am grateful for all their attention.

A friend recommended Elise to me for her book coaching services. I hired her to help me with my children’s picture book. With Elise’s assistance, I was able to turn my initial ideas and scrapbook pages into an actual story and develop a narrative ‘arc’ to provide more meaning to the reader. Elise helped me find a children’s book editor and an illustrator, making the book the best quality. I am very grateful for Elise’s services — the book has now been published, and this would not be possible without Elise’s initial assistance. Elise also created my social media pages and tweaked my bio to reflect my new author identity.

I worked with Elise as my book coach to help me decipher how to create a viable collection of stories or a novel from the many short stories and notes I had written. My writing is copious and I had limited time. As an attorney and full-time single dad of a special needs child, I appreciated her directness and focus. She can clearly distinguish what intelligent writing is and how to organize and sculpt concepts from thin air into a cohesive and thought-provoking story. I enjoyed working with her and hope to do so again when I find time to start my next project!!
Thanks, Elise!

Elise has been instrumental in developmental editing for my third book, a complex story that involves real-life examples mixed with mythological references. She reorganized and restructured the book so that it made sense to readers. She removed redundancies I didn’t notice and gave excellent suggestions for rewrites.
It’s not just grammar and punctuation with Elise. After she edited my manuscript, her guidance assisted me in completing the project. She asked the right questions to pull the emotional story out and offered some excellent ideas.
I am grateful for that guidance and recommend her services to other authors.

What started as an innocent ghostwriting inquiry has turned into the exploration and solidification of the next chapter of my life. Business acumen and domain expertise are admission prices to Elise’s business. What sets her apart is a genuine gift for seeing the innate (possibly hidden) talents within me. Working with Elise has been enthralling, yet challenging but always valuable. Such is the case when releasing one’s inner genius.
I am very grateful to have Elise in my corner as a guide, confidant, and butt kicker every step of the way.
The subject matter of my non-fiction book is highly specialized, and challenging to get the complex concepts across to an audience who has never experienced the program we offer. I thought only another practitioner in my field could edit such a manuscript. Yet Elise has worked miracles with the entire document: from content clarification, revisions, suggestions, and line editing, she can pinpoint exactly what needs to be added or removed.
She expertly recommended changes that brought my co-author and me closer to the reader in ways I couldn’t have done. I highly recommend working with Elise if you are a thought leader who needs a developmental editor or ghostwriter. She understands marketing and how your book can best reach your intended audience. I have found her take on our ideas invaluable.
