Free Style - Unlock Creative Home Designs: An Interior Design Book

Published April 2026, Penguin Random House

I spent two years interviewing Liz (whose brain is absolutely overflowing with creative ideas), digging through her past projects, identifying themes and connections, organizing and structuring content, developing the manuscript, and helping transform a creative vision into a finished publication. I weaved together personal stories, design philosophy, and creative process behind each project, helping readers understand not just what to do, but why those choices mattered.

I shaped the manuscript from beginning to end, working through the text chapter by chapter to refine its organization, pacing, and flow so it read as a cohesive book rather than a collection of individual projects.

I edited every line for clarity and voice, rewriting awkward passages, tightening explanations, improving transitions, eliminating repetition, and preserving Liz's personality while making the writing approachable and engaging.

I developed the instructional content, ensuring that tutorials, decorating advice, and design concepts were clear and accessible for readers with a wide range of experience.

I improved the book's structure and sequencing, determining where ideas belonged, what information readers needed first, and how each chapter could build naturally on the last. I fact-checked and polished details throughout the manuscript, reviewing terminology, descriptions, and consistency to create a polished, authoritative final product.

I maintained a consistent editorial voice throughout the editing process, making substantial revisions while ensuring the finished manuscript always sounded authentically like Liz.

I solved countless editorial challenges, identifying weak sections, filling information gaps, reducing redundancy, and helping rework chapters that needed a stronger focus or clearer direction. I helped prepare the manuscript for publication by Penguin Random House, contributing developmental editing, line editing, and collaborative problem-solving that strengthened the book through every stage of the editorial process.
