A collaborative, multi-voice family history

A collaborative oral-history-based legacy book that brings together the voices, memories, and stories of a family.

This offering includes:

• Group and individual oral history interviews

• Narrative shaping

• Archival or light genealogical research, as needed

The result is a beautifully written collection of family narratives—honest, thoughtful, and intentionally inclusive. Ideal for families seeking to preserve stories and connect family members across generations. A great gift for anniversaries, major life milestones, or in memory of a deceased loved one.

A private, bespoke personal narrative

A bespoke life story written in close collaboration with the client.

This offering includes:

• In-depth interviews

• Narrative development

• Tailored research

Together, these elements create a cohesive, engaging personal history or private memoir. Designed for individuals who want a polished, substantive record of their life, values, and legacy for family or private circulation—not a commercial publishing project.

For complex life stories or public-facing narratives

A comprehensive, full-length memoir, biography, or thought leadership book crafted through:

• Extensive interviews

• Deep archival and historical research

• Full ghostwriting collaboration

This is a high-touch, immersive process suitable for clients with complex stories, public platforms, mission-driven work, or narratives intended for an outside audience. Each project is tailored to scope, research requirements, and publication goals.

Expert support to help you finish the book

For writers with a serious project underway, I offer developmental editing and book coaching to help you turn your draft, dissertation, or long-held idea into a cohesive and compelling manuscript.

Depending on your need, this may include structured feedback on a manuscript or regular calls for guidance and accountability.

This offering is a strong fit for:

• Authors with a book contract in hand and deadlines to meet

• First-time memoirists shaping complex material into a strong narrative

• Scholars turning a dissertation into a public-facing book

• Writers who want ongoing support and accountability to stay on track

I am a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator specializing in identity, voice, and the power of story.

My keynote, Reclaiming Your Voice: A Historian’s Guide to Identity and Connection, helps audiences examine the inherited narratives that shape their lives so they can develop a stronger sense of self, communicate with clarity, and remain connected across differences.

I also lead interactive writing workshops, including Cultivating Joy in a Body That Keeps the Score, which integrates story, reflection, and embodied writing practices to help participants reconnect with voice, intuition, memory, and joy.
