About

I help you turn good writing into exceptional writing with flair

I’m Mary Cummings, a highly experienced nonfiction ghostwriter, developmental editor and writing coach.

For over twenty years, I’ve helped business leaders, entrepreneurs, consultants, academics, and coaches turn their messy, promising drafts into exceptional page-turners. Together, we’ve created best-sellers with me guiding them through either the independent or traditional publishing route.

Do any of these challenges sound familiar?

  • Your articles seem dull and dreary
  • Your manuscript lacks a compelling flow
  • Your book proposal lacks clarity
  • Your back cover copy reads like an inventory-style summary


If yes, how about working with an experienced writer and editor who:

  • Works directly with a mainstream publisher
  • Is highly trusted with proven expertise in writing and publishing
  • Has transformed and shaped manuscripts into bestsellers
  • Is a traditionally and independently published author who has successfully guided her clients through both routes
  • Has secured her clients through word of mouth and retained them for repeat projects
  • Is a member of The Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders
  • Is a member of The Society of Authors

If this is the type of writer and editor you’d like to work with, please contact me to discuss your next project.
