Courtney Lindemann
Editor, Writer and Coach
Welcome
For a decade, I have been a trusted freelance book editor, empowering authors to bring their stories to life with clarity, impact, and finesse. Specializing in developmental editing, line editing, and manuscript formatting, I approach every project with an unwavering commitment to honoring every writer's unique voice. My mission is to preserve and enhance that voice while guiding the project to its full potential.
​
Beyond editing, I am a dedicated writing coach, offering personalized support that equips authors with the tools and confidence needed to craft compelling narratives—whether fiction or non-fiction. My collaborative, meticulous, and compassionate editing process has helped authors across genres transform initial drafts into polished manuscripts ready to captivate readers.
​
If you're looking for a professional partner who will champion your vision, refine your prose, and help elevate your manuscript, I’d be honored to join your creative journey.

Jennifer Powers, Author
"Courtney isn't just an editor. She's a cheerleader, a painter with words, and a magnifying glass wielding superhero who will swoop in and find errors and plot holes that will rescue your manuscript. Courtney takes the time to understand your vision and goals as a writer so she can help you mold your project into something you are immensely proud of."
Chad Grayson, Author
"Courtney is magic! She polishes my prose, while still respecting and maintaining my personal style, and her suggestions regarding plot and character are always spot on!"
"Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination and the journey.
They are home."
-Anna Quindlen
