KEIDI is the founder of Your Book Angel and she loves helping authors on their path to writing and publishing success. Also an author of best-selling self-help / spiritual titles, along with a growing number of children’s books, Keidi delights in the written word. It is her greatest passion in life.
She is also deeply interested in continuing to evolve spiritually, and she enjoys meditation, yoga, chanting, and praying. Born with an entrepreneurial spirit, Keidi gets a real buzz from starting businesses or thinking of ideas, developing them into something tangible, and watching them thrive.
She lives in Coeur d’Alene, ID with her little boy, Ty. She has a collection of sparkling crystals on her desk, and on her wall hangs a picture of Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom, and learning, who smiles upon every manuscript in Keidi’s care.

PRAISE FOR KEIDI:
“Keidi understands the quirks and obsessions of the writer, and was a complete pleasure to work alongside. Her attention to detail was impressive and her suggestions were always helpful, and in line with the plot and tone of my manuscript. I highly recommend her, and I continue to praise her behind her back.”
-John Meyer Toronto, Canada, Author of Bullets, Butterflies, and Italy
“Keidi has a way of seeing through to the heart of what an author is trying to say. She polished each sentence to perfection and, as a result, the whole manuscript flowed beautifully. Keidi is also very friendly and professional. I felt as though I could always ask for help or advice and that she was always available should I need her. I will definitely be using her again for my next project.”
-Leslie Oakley Florida, USA, Author of Magick
“Your own book is like your baby. You put so much time & love into it that it is a very big step to hand it over to an editor. Keidi’s work simply blew me away & took my book to another level. Her work is fast, fabulous and reasonably priced. I am very much looking forward to be working with her again.”
-Melanie Sievernich Marbella, Spain
When SARA was eight, a teacher put some stories she wrote in the back of the classroom on a shelf with other books—real books. That was when she became a writer. She became an editor not long after that. In time, she learned there was more to editing than just language mechanics and conventions; she learned that an editor becomes a participator in magic.
Sara has a degree in Creative and Professional Writing at Bemidji State University. In her time at University, she worked in the Writing Resource Center and wrote for the college paper and magazine. She critiqued and edited for countless classmates until someone suggested she should start freelance editing.
SARA EDITS THE FOLLOWING GENRES:
Christian, YA, Action and Adventure, Literary
PRAISE FOR SARA:
“I purchased Sara’s proofreading for my latest novel, Summer of the Loon. She not only found those pesky typos and misspellings, but offered sound advice on clarifying and tightening sentences. Sara suggested helpful alternatives for repetitive words and phrases, and also helped keep my story on track when she found an error in the story’s consistency. I appreciated Sara’s good eye and judgment and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of an editor.”
–Deanna Lynn Sletten, Author
“I approached two editors prior to finding Sara. One was enthusiastic at first but then when I sent her a sample, I never got a reply back. And the other editor didn’t reply at all. The level of Sara’s customer service is very rare online these days. She replied promptly, and was very kind and courteous. Furthermore, not only does Sara have a great eye for picking out spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, but she also has this gift of adding to your story without taking anything away from it. She allows the author’s essence to remain within the story despite changes being made to it. In fact, my memoir turned out to be heaps better. I highly recommend Sara to anyone undertaking any form of writing.”
–Dahlia Mikha, Author
“Sara is a fantastic developmental editor. I chose her to edit my lengthy novel manuscript for a number of reasons. She has a gift that few people have—providing invaluable guidance and knowledge in a supportive, positive way. Her process is easy to understand, is incredibly practical, and has taught me so much about craft. I was able to take my writing to a whole new level with Sara’s help.”
–Sarah Baldwin, Author
