Book Editing & Book Writing Portfolio
These are some books I’ve worked on, some of which I’m especially proud of. If the book is included on this page I either had a hand in ghostwriting, developmental editing, copyediting, or proofreading—or I wrote the dang thing myself.
5-Star Review from Ela
“It was a complete pleasure to work with Andie. They were enthusiastic, encouraging, flexible, followed my input easily and quickly, and delivered an impeccable edit. Besides a well edited book, I’m that much more excited about the book, thanks to their input. I’ll be working with Andie time and time again.”

5-Star Review from Wyn
“Working with Andie was one of the best investments I’ve made in this publishing journey. My manuscript is nearly 70,000 words, and they approached it with care, precision, and a sharp editorial eye from start to finish. Andie didn’t just correct grammar or spelling…they caught inconsistencies, improved sentence flow, and made thoughtful suggestions that tightened the work without ever diluting my voice. They have a rare talent for knowing when to preserve tone and when to push for clarity, which made every edit feel purposeful.
“Their critique was exactly what I needed. Supportive and reassuring, but never sugarcoated. They told me the truth while still leaving me confident in my work, which is a balance few editors can strike. On top of that, Andie worked quickly and efficiently to meet a very tight turnaround without sacrificing quality.
“Their edits were thorough yet easy to follow, and they communicated clearly throughout the process so I always understood the “why” behind a change. They delivered on time, handled the project with professionalism, and went above and beyond to make sure the final product was polished and publication-ready.
“If you’re looking for a copy editor who brings technical mastery, deep respect for an author’s style, and honest but supportive feedback…even under time pressure…I can’t recommend Andie highly enough. They transformed my manuscript into a version I’m proud to share with the world.”
—Wyn Nichols, author of How to Save Yourself, First
5-Star Review from Megan
“Working with Andie has been such an affirming part of my publishing journey. My book is a deeply personal, emotionally layered memoir, and Andie treated it with the reverence, insight, and clarity it deserved. Her feedback was thoughtful, precise and felt soulfully attuned. She understood the heart of my work, helped elevate its impact, and made me feel seen not just as a writer, but as a human being telling the truth.
“As someone entirely new to the writing world, I expected to feel out of place or underqualified, but Andie made me feel at home. Her edits never stripped the story of its voice; they sharpened and honored it. I walked away not just with a stronger manuscript, but with more confidence in my voice.
“If you’re looking for an editor who brings both exceptional craft and deep humanity to the table, Andie is it. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

TRAILER TRASH: Poems by Andie Woodard
TRAILER TRASH: Poems
These poems discuss internalized classism, as well as the mental and environmental conditions that often accompany poverty, especially in the south: uneducated sexual exploration (and exploitation), untreated mental illness, addiction, insecure attachment in relationships, and religious idealization. For people living in poverty, these characteristics are inherited, and this collection explores that generational trauma through free-verse and erasure poetry. The work also explores “lifestyles” that are not accepted in the Bible Belt, like sexual liberation, queer relationships, and a refusal to look at trauma as something that “made you stronger.” TRAILER TRASH is for anyone who needs their hurt to be reflected back to them and their rage to be validated so that they might finally walk the path, without interruption, toward healing and hope.
I’m funny, but this book is not. I had the absolute honor of reading the WHOLE BOOK to a captive audience for Inner Moonlight, a podcast for poetry, and to avoid traumatizing them too badly, I interspersed the reading with little dad jokes that were somewhat related.
If it’s tough for you to sit with traumatic subject matter, this may be the better way to read my book.
Other Books I’m Proud Of
Look at all these cute creative babies that got birthed. What a privilege to get to work on them.
“Andie improved my book soooo much. She made insightful suggestions on adding to my story and removing parts of the story that were not needed. She even helped with my book title. I am fortunate to have picked her to work with and will do so again! Thank you, Andie!”
“Andie didn’t just edit my book—she felt it. She approached Flight of a Dog’s Soul with both precision and heart, treating every line with the care of someone who truly understood what the story meant. Her feedback was thoughtful, her edits seamless, and her empathy rare. If you want an editor who makes your work better and honors its soul, hire Andie.”
“Andie is fabulous. Her editing skills were on point. Her words to me were full of caring, compassion, and understanding. Birthing a book can be a very vulnerable process and I felt Andie’s sympathetic hand through every chapter. Working with her again is a no-brainer. She’s worth it.”
—Sean Hemeon, author of The Good Little Drug Lord (Coming Soon)
“Andie’s care, consideration, and skill during editing were beyond reproach. She handled sensitive topics with grace and compassion and made the whole process bearable and joyful. Andie’s ability to understand and respect the heart of the story while ensuring its highest quality was genuinely remarkable. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Andie’s work tightened up my book tremendously. Having her input and guidance was exactly what I needed to make my writing the very best it could be. Having an impartial professional of her caliber is an amazing asset. I would recommend her expertise to anyone.”
“Andie did an outstanding job!! GILBEE STRONG is my first book, so I was learning as I went. I had to make changes that Andie guided me with, even though they [went above and beyond] her part of our project. I offered her more time if she needed it, but she still finished on the original time we set. I am more than pleased with the final result!”
