Memoir and nonfiction editing
Humour and drama, facts and historical details. There are countless ways to tell a story.
How will you tell yours?
When writing our personal or family stories, the path isn’t always clear. We get stuck in the weeds of memory, bogged down by details and backstory, all while asking ourselves: Does this make sense? Will anyone care? As a published memoir writer, I can relate. And as an experienced editor and book coach, I can help you find your way.
If you write memoir, family histories, or research-based nonfiction, you’ve come to the right place. I’m a freelance editor and certified copyeditor who works with new and experienced writers to develop and refine their true stories, all while retaining their unique voices and experiences.
A published poet, I have an eye for lyricism and crafting sensory details to create an immersive reading experience filled with texture and depth. My background in History and Creative Writing informs my editorial practice by focusing on telling true stories with accuracy and recognizing when to bend “the rules” for entertainment and creative storytelling.
Whether you’re interested in self-publishing or pursuing traditional publishing, let’s work together to tell your story your way.
