I love helping others tell their stories. From developing an initial outline to polishing the completed manuscript, I help authors refine and simplify content for their intended audience so their story can shine. I brainstorm with them, create structure, and identify areas where there may be too much or not enough information, making sure the process is always collaborative and playful. I’ve written memoir and worked with authors on business books about managing unpredictability and abuse – topics that dive into the nature of why people react the way they do, and how they can change. Open to a variety of nonfiction genres, I enjoy working on any type of project that’s pegged to growth and transformation. Show less
