Write the story that sets you free.
I’m a memoir and non-fiction ghostwriter, experienced book editor, and book shaman.
Hey, I’m Rachel.
I help soul-led writers bring their stories to life. The kind of stories that hold truth, transformation, and deep, emotional power.
I’ve been in publishing for over a decade and have helped more than 150 authors produce books they’re proud of.
My approach blends editorial expertise, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed writing for an experience that combines creativity and healing.
Writing your book is about more than just writing your book. It’s about becoming a new version of yourself.

It is a great joy of my life to help authors achieve their dreams!
Derek Strokon, TEDx Speaker and Bestselling Author of Stop Stalling, Start Selling and Human Being Human
"Rachel is one of the most authentic and wonderful humans out there! She is a master editor and brilliant woman.”
Niki DiGaetano, death doula and memoir author
“I am so grateful to have Rachel by my side for my hybrid memoir! She helped restore my faith in my story, despite overwhelm and lack of organization. She is the kindest soul and the best cheerleader, believing in me and my story even when I don't believe in those things myself. She has a gift for uncovering all the ways a book can be more, while spotlighting all the ways it is already strong. Rachel is an incredible resource for any author... even if you're writing the most messy first draft!”
Non-fiction client who did a developmental edit with me
“Rachel, thank you for your beautiful and helpful feedback! You have a gift for constructive and honest insights that leave people feeling elevated and inspired. I'm excited to sit down with my manuscript again.”

How I Help Authors
-
My work goes deeper than the surface. As a book shaman and yoga teacher/energy healer with over 10 years of experience in the healing arts, my approach is rooted in presence and discernment. I listen deeply. I’m here to develop a relationship both with you as the writer and with the manuscript itself, which I see as a living, breathing energy. I’m paying attention to energetic currents behind your words and applying editorial precision to bring your ideas to life in a way that will make sense and have the biggest impact possible on your readers.
Helping others write and publish books they’re proud of is my purpose (dharma) in this lifetime, and I’m honored to do this work.
-
A collaborative path to bringing your book into the world.
Some stories are meant to be written with someone.
My ghostwriting work is for people with deep lived experience, original insight, or powerful frameworks—who know their book matters but don’t have the capacity (or desire) to write it alone.
What do I do as a ghostwriter?
I partner with leaders, creatives, and visionaries to bring memoirs and transformational nonfiction books into completion.
As your ghostwriter, I:
Listen deeply to your story and ideas
Extract the heart of what you’re trying to say
Shape a clear narrative arc or framework
Write in a voice that reflects you
Hold the emotional weight of the material with care
Guide the book from concept to finished manuscript
This is high-touch, deeply collaborative work. Learn about my ghostwriting work including pricing, past client testimonials, and more about my process.

Here’s a glimpse of what I do as a developmental book editor. I work with first-time and experienced authors writing memoir, nonfiction, and transformational books who want help shaping their stories into clear, cohesive, and powerful finished drafts.
As your developmental editor, I focus on:
Big-picture structure and narrative arc
Voice consistency and emotional resonance
Reader experience and pacing
Authority, credibility, and positioning
Where to deepen story—and where to pull back
How each chapter functions within the book as a whole
I look at your manuscript with the eyes of a reader, editor, coach, and strategist. Read more about how you can hire me as your book editor.

Guidance, structure, and support for your writing process.
Writing a book is about learning how to stay in right relationship with your work when doubt, fear, and resistance inevitably show up.
My book coaching is designed for writers who want support staying grounded, focused, and confident as they write.
As your book coach, I help you:
Clarify the core idea and purpose of your book
Understand exactly who it’s for and write to that audience, not in a vacuum
Shape the structure of your book—how ideas are organized, and how the book moves a reader through a transformational arc
Develop a sustainable writing rhythm
Work through fear, self-doubt, and perfectionism
Make decisions faster and with more self-trust
Stay oriented toward completion

Accountability. Belonging. Momentum.
Writing a book can be deeply meaningful—and surprisingly lonely.
The Write On! women’s writing group exists for writers who don’t want to do this work in isolation, but also don’t want pressure.
Our weekly calls are a space for steady accountability and emotional support—because most writers don’t struggle due to lack of discipline. They struggle because writing brings things to the surface.
At its core, this women’s writing group is a consistent writing container designed to help you:
Show up regularly
Stay connected to your work
Stay connected to other writers who get it, and are here for you
Keep moving forward—even when motivation dips or life happens
Feel supported when doubt or vulnerability arises
A first-time author who hired me for book coaching and a developmental edit
"I feel like I was finally able to articulate the depth of the message I wanted to get across. Couldn't have done that without your edits and questions."
Book coaching client who is a therapist and coach (PhD)
"I feel reinvigorated. I know what I actually care about in this book. I’m so glad I’m in the women’s writing group and decided to hire you as a coach."
Jerry Fieldsted, 12-Time Self-Published Author, Anthropologist
"Rachel is gifted as an author and she is also a fantastic yoga teacher and a superb editor I always turn to for my own books. She helped me find the power to publish! And she opened up the world of Reiki and mediation to me that profoundly changed my life. In short, Rachel Warmath is the realest deal you can find; a wonderful human with the talent to unlock your full potential.”
Brock Scott, Author, Photographer, and Rock and Roll Drummer
"Big shoutout to my wonderful and motivating editor, Rachel. My book, From the Parking Lot to the Front Row is a firsthand account of the over 400 concerts I've been to and the people that were there with me. It includes pictures of us and the bands we saw over the last 40 years."
Cheri Chastain, Sustainability Expert
"Rachel brings organization, calm, and professionalism to her work. I have been very impressed with her initiative, writing, creativity, work ethic, professionalism, and general positive attitude."
Book coaching client and first-time author and poet
"I am feeling a lot better as I'm working on my book draft and just have a lot of really positive momentum. Thanks again for your support on this project. It makes such a huge difference to be accompanied in this by someone so smart and caring. A thousand thank yous."
Writing a book will set you free.
When you write a book, you stand in your power in a way that benefits every future moment of your life.
You will find, within you, a deep well of courage. New strengths. Your soul purpose. You will discover your creative process, a sacred process. You'll carry a new rhythm into your life as you uncover the gift of your own voice.
It helps to do this work together, with support and guidance. You are not alone in the struggles you’ve felt as an author. The doubt, insecurity, and fear? I’ve felt those, too. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping other authors achieve their writing dreams.
