Narrative Editor | Memoir & Personal Essays

I work with memoir writers to shape lived experience into compelling, publication-ready narratives. Through strategic developmental and line editing, I bring clarity to structure, precision to prose, and intention to emotional pacing; offering rigorous craft guidance within a thoughtful, collaborative process.

Memoir asks for more than technical refinement. It asks for discernment — where to linger, where to compress, where the story truly begins.

I approach editing as both craft and stewardship. Personal narrative demands structural rigor, but it also requires care. My role is not to rewrite your story, but to help you uncover its architecture, strengthen its emotional throughline, and shape it into work that feels both cohesive and deeply your own.

I take on a limited number of projects each season to ensure sustained attention and meaningful collaboration.
