Welcome to Writing with Aki

I'm a writer, author, and chef who partners with food entrepreneurs and culinary professionals to bring their vision to life. I'll guide you through the writing process—from concept to published cookbook—so you can build your brand and connect with the readers who need your expertise.

As an avid reader, I know a good story when I see one—and everyone has stories worth telling, often more than they realize. I can help you bring yours to life and help you utilize them to share your experience and expertise with a wider audience.

Helping you craft cookbooks and memoirs with care and clarity.

Writing/Collaboration

I'll work with you to write your book from start to finish—partnering with you and your editor to meet deadlines and maintain your voice. Or I can ghost write the entire manuscript for you.

Editing

Sometimes you need a skilled editor more than a co-writer. I sharpen prose, help you express ideas more clearly, and ensure your voice shines through. For recipes, I edit for precision, clarity, and consistency—making sure every instruction is easy to follow and every recipe works.

Story Development: Every cookbook is also a memoir.I help you develop the narrative that connects your recipes—whether that's your culinary journey, family history, or the philosophy behind your food. Through conversation and collaboration, we'll shape the voice and story that makes your book uniquely yours.

Recipe Development: With years of experience behind the stove and at the keyboard, I help you turn your culinary memories and ideas into clear, delicious recipes that readers can recreate with confidence.
