Projects That Shaped My Work
With Wellness Authors
Over 15+ years, I've worked on 200+ projects across translation, editing, and publishing. Here are the experiences that led me to specialize in wellness books:
My Own Wellness Books
"Say Hello to My Friend Lupus" (2024)
My first published book about living with lupus - the project that taught me firsthand about the power of sharing lived experience to help others feel less alone.
​
Lupus Warrior Support Series (2024-2025)
Created three companion resources: an adult coloring book for stress relief, a symptom tracker for medical management, and a quotes journal for emotional support. Managed all aspects: writing, design, formatting, and Amazon KDP publishing.
"Breaking Free: Creating a Career That Supports Your Chronic Illness" (2025)
My second book about building a career that works with chronic illness, not against it. Written for chronic illness warriors ready to redefine success on their own terms.
What this taught me: The entire self-publishing journey from idea to published book - exactly what I now guide my consulting clients through.
Editorial Leadership: Fiction Publishing Project
Role: Editor-in-Chief for multi-title fiction series Challenge: Salvaged a high-stakes publishing project after initial quality concerns threatened contract termination
Solution: Implemented quality control measures, personally reviewed all content, established new editorial standards
Result: Secured committee approval, project success, improved processes for all subsequent titles
What this taught me: How to maintain editorial excellence under pressure while meeting tight deadlines - skills I bring to every manuscript I edit.
Ghostwriting: Yoga Book Project
Role: Ghostwriter (confidential/NDA)
Challenge: Capture an authentic voice for a yoga teacher's wellness book
Solution: Collaborative interviews, cultural sensitivity, mind-body wellness expertise
Result: Completed manuscript that honored the author's vision and expertise
What this taught me: How to write in someone else's voice while maintaining authenticity - the heart of good ghostwriting.
Building a Bilingual Wellness Community
LupusMKD - Online Community for Lupus Warriors Created and manage a bilingual platform (English/Macedonian) providing resources, support, and education for the chronic illness community. Includes website, blog content, and active social media presence.
Why it matters: There was virtually no lupus information available in Macedonian. I filled that gap while also serving the English-speaking community.
What this taught me: How to communicate complex health information with empathy, clarity, and cultural awareness.
Academic Editing Across Disciplines
Role: Editor/Proofreader for Master's Theses
Scope: Reviewed academic theses across multiple disciplines using Cambridge C1 Advanced certification
Focus: Maintained academic standards while preserving each author's unique voice and field-specific terminology
What this taught me: How to edit technical content with precision while respecting the author's expertise and voice - essential for wellness books with medical/scientific elements.
Cambridge Scholars Published Author
Academic Publication (2024)
Published chapter in a peer-reviewed academic volume through Cambridge Scholars Publishing.
​
What this means: I understand academic rigor, research standards, and the publishing process from multiple angles.
Translation & Language Services Background
While my current focus is wellness book editing and ghostwriting, my background includes:
​
-
3000+ translation projects across medical, legal, and literary fields
-
Native Macedonian speaker, fluent in English and Serbian
-
Specialized expertise in medical and healthcare terminology
-

This foundation gives me a unique edge: linguistic precision, cultural awareness, and the ability to work with technical wellness content.
