Turn your story into a book that finds its readers.
Perhaps you have a full manuscript, a handful of chapters, or just a story you know needs to be told.
Writing a book can feel solitary and overwhelming.
You might wonder if your story matters, or where to even begin.
I've worked with writers at every stage—from people writing their first pages to authors on their third book. Our collaboration helped them finish the book, find their voice, and tell the story they needed to tell.
I've supported 100+ writers from concept to publication. Some landed deals with Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster. Others self-published meaningful books and built devoted audiences. Whether you're writing for the world or for your family, whether you want a partner to coach you through the draft or a ghostwriter to carry the writing, we'll find the path that serves your book best.
Ways We Might Work Together
This is intimate, compassionate work.
Writing a memoir can feel especially vulnerable—you're exposing parts of yourself that you might not have shared with anyone. I understand that. A writer who feels understood and championed produces their best work. Your story leads.
I'm here to help you tell it well.

How it Works
-
We'll talk about your book:
What would success look like?
Who are your readers?
What's your story?
This initial conversation helps us both see if we're a good fit.From there, we can map out what you need—whether that's a few strategy sessions to clarify your concept, or a longer-term partnership to write and shape the book. I work with writers at different stages and budgets, and I'm flexible in finding an approach that works for both of us.
-
Whether that's regular coaching sessions, a one-time manuscript edit, or a ghostwriting partnership.
-
You'll send pages before each session. We'll talk through what's working and what needs to go deeper. I'll send written notes, so you always know your next step.
-
I'll read your full manuscript and send you a detailed editorial letter with a roadmap for revision.
