Her humility enables the author to lead from a content perspective; coupled with her expertise in writing and editing, this combination is both advantageous and hard to find.

Shanéa Thomas, EdD, LICSW, CSE

“I was referred to Heather by Dr. Bianca Laureano (The People’s Book of Human Sexuality: Expanding the Sexology Archive), who was excellent, kind and knowledgeable in helping me piece together my first full book proposal through her proposal package! With her guidance, I was able to gain the interest of a few agents! Her expertise in working with writers in the sexuality and gender realm really made me comfortable in trusting the deepest parts of my work with her. Even with the time difference, we were able to work smoothly together, and I never felt as if I was walking the process alone“

“I worked with Heather on writing both of my books, and she is such an invaluable gift to this profession! She’s professional and supportive, and understood exactly what I needed throughout the book writing process. She provided gentle hand-holding and tangible feedback when needed, and gave me space to work with cheerleading and check in’s from afar. When I was a brand new author, in particular, the way she answered questions and explained the process was especially helpful. She has a significant amount of experience in this industry, and has great recommendations and advice. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with her in writing a book“
Louis Pougis, UE5 C++ Gameplay Engineer
“Heather has been absolutely amazing since the beginning of our partnership. She performed a manuscript appraisal for the book idea I had. Laying down her industry knowledge, experience, honest and tailored feedback, she provided me with clear feedback, review, structure & plan of actions. She’s making this book idea become a reality by creating a framework that is allowing me to focus on improving my writing to clearly translate my ideas. Her genuine passion for her craft, expertise and positive mindset makes this collaboration easy and efficient. I’m excited to keep working with her and grateful to have the opportunity to evolve by her side.”
Leslie de Vera Arroyo, MAAT, LCPC, Author of Integrating Art Therapy Approaches in School Counseling (forthcoming, Routledge 2026)
“Writing my first book became possible with the much-needed help from Heather. I had all the information I wanted to relay into a book but felt completely overwhelmed. She guided me through the process, providing concrete steps to progress from one chapter to the next. Her feedback was invaluable, helping me structure my ideas and identify areas to expand upon. The most valuable thing I learned from working with Heather was to put myself front and center, “not hide behind others’ words,” and believe I have valuable insights to share. All of this helped with my confidence in writing. Heather truly has a special skill, and I highly recommend working with her as you embark on the challenging journey of writing a book.”

“When Heather was my editor at Routledge, she was so supportive, encouraging and kind. She always responded quickly to my emails, took time to meet with me to process ideas, and most importantly, believed in me! I always felt she was in my corner and made sure that I created the best version of my writing. It was because of her that my second book came into fruition, and I’m excited to continue working with her in the future!”

“As a first-time author navigating the world of publishing, working with Heather was an incredibly grounding and empowering experience. She guided me through writing my book proposal, query letter, and sample chapters with a combination of professionalism, patience, and deep editorial insight. Heather met me where I was—new to the process but passionate about my work—and offered clarity, encouragement, and a clear structure every step of the way. Her thoughtful feedback not only strengthened my writing but also helped me articulate the heart of my project with confidence. Thanks to her support, I now have a polished and compelling representation of my work that I’m proud to share.

Angela Holmes, MA, RP, CST, MMHPC, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
“I hired Heather to write and edit copy for my psychotherapy and sex therapy website in the winter of 2024, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Heather is incredibly detail-oriented and thoughtful in her approach. Before bringing my vision to life, she took the time to thoroughly understand my values, services, and goals. She also conducted in-depth market research and presented her findings in a clear, digestible report, ensuring her copy was strategic and aligned with my brand.
The website copy she delivered exceeded my expectations. Not only did she capture my vision perfectly, but she also provided creative options for how to present my services in a compelling and authentic way. Her work was always backed by the insights from her research, making every word purposeful.
Throughout the project, Heather maintained excellent communication, keeping me updated on timelines and promptly answering my questions. The entire process was smooth and collaborative. I was so impressed with her work that I plan to hire her for future projects, including blog content, service descriptions, and additional market research.
Heather’s expertise and dedication are evident in the quality of her work, and I highly recommend her to any sex therapist looking for professional, well-crafted marketing and business materials.”
