Book Witchery as Spiritual Practice: Editing for Your Magickal Words

Pitch Witch Sessions!

Are you working on a book right now? Looking for an affordable editor with an eye for inclusion and whimsy? If so, I’ve got some book witchery for you.

As a queer, witchy exvangelical, I’ve been working in publishing for almost a decade, and I’ve been honored to midwife many books in that time (including getting my own book published). I specialize in deconstruction/deconversion memoirs, witchcraft titles, queer books, therapist-written resources, erotica, anthologies, DIY workbooks, and zines of all kinds.

While I firmly believe that editing is an important part of every book’s story, the cost for editorial services can be prohibitive for writers.

So, for 2025, I decided to create a light and more affordable freelance editing option, with my typical witchy flare: Pitch Witch Sessions.

Pitch Witch Sessions: $50

Want to pitch your book idea to a publisher? Meet with me for an hour and we’ll talk about your book idea. With intention and care, we’ll…

• assess possible publishers,

• focus in on the main ideas within your project to empower you to participate in the publishing conversation in the most productive of ways,

• talk about what you may need for a book proposal to a traditional press, or

• take a look at other publishing options, such as hybrid presses or creating your own zine.

You can schedule a Pitch Witch Session with me here.

With intention and care, I’ll hold space for your story. And for me, that vocation has always been spiritual¹ and magickal.²

If you’re interested in working together, you can book a Pitch Witch Session here. Or you can check out my other editing services at KandiZeller.com.

1. When I describe or experience any tool/practices as spiritual, I want to acknowledge that that is not everyone’s experience. Any practice/tool I share is meant for all, regardless of spiritual label (or lack of label) or whether you experience these tools as spiritual or as some other adjective(s). Labels, while helpful in describing our experiences, are ultimately insufficient, so I want to hold space for that tension here.

2. I love the definition of magick laid out in this article: “action taken to bring about internal transformation or external change.”
