Marisa Solis has been in publishing since 1999. She began editing travel guidebooks for Random House and Avalon Travel Publishing, then served as managing editor at Seal Press, an imprint of books by and for women. Marisa entered the freelance world in 2007, with a mix of clients including Chronicle Books, Weldon Owen, Workman Publishing, and Insight Publications. For these publishers, she edited a range of beautiful, original titles, including cookbooks, craft books, design and photography books, card decks, parenting guidebooks, activity books for children, fun infographic manuals, and more. In 2013, Marisa shifted her attention to psychology and self-help. Over the past decade, she’s developed a workable understanding of ACT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, experiential processes (such as psychodrama), mindfulness, and Buddhism. She’s edited mental-health books for adults and teens on anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, hoarding, addiction, grief, self-compassion, and relationships. She’s also worked on books on autism, spirituality, Black excellence, healthy eating, chronic illness, aging, yoga, and more. Marisa works directly with individual authors who are self-publishing, seeking a publisher, or already have a contract. She often partners with New Harbinger Publications, PESI, and Girl Friday Productions. Marisa is a cofounder of Book Structure Pros and is based in Los Angeles.
