Like tapping into a maple tree, I can help bring your story to language, chronology, composition and illustrative presentation: the whole kit-n-kaboodle.
Words move me, literally.
I believe that the essence and raw power of language can heal, captivate and evoke, and that words can be spoken directly from the source of life itself. As a voice-coach, composer, lyricist and ghost-writer, I've been called a "voice whisperer". I use well-honed tools to dive deeply into the "tissues" of one's personal expressive vision and delicate story until I find "their voice". I work in a deep and structured sense— like a stone carver, uncovering the unique shape of a client's lyrical expression. The work is equally productive as it is transformative— what emerges is not only a book, publication or rich narrative, but a personal evolution and clarity for those bringing their story to voice.
I've supported individuals and companies, produced top-selling novels, memoirs, science writing, TED talks. I've supported revising screen-plays, rewriting pieces, collaborating with actors, artists, executives and more. I'm able to do 100% of the work, including extracting the story, developing an outline, articulating themes, executing timeframes, channeling your voice to paper, illustrating written work, providing first-draft edits, sourcing additional editors, layout editors, and developing publishing and publicity teams. I am able to work alongside traditional publishers or support the path of self-publishing.
Part of my love of language is to offer people the step-by-step map to bring their masterpieces to light, and I'd love to help you craft and deliver yours, whether in the form of a 400-page book, an academic text or product branding. My skills in thorough research and rendering novel expression are equally as refined.
