Memoirs & Biographies
Looking to have a memoir or (auto)biography written? I can assist you on your journey!
If you want to put your life’s story down on paper – whether because you want to share the lessons you’ve learned during your personal journey to help others, document the hardships you’ve faced & overcome to release a lifetime of pent-up feelings, or preserve precious memories to be passed down in book-form to future generations – I’m happy to assist in transforming your unique experiences & special moments into a compelling narrative that’ll enamor your audience (whether you’re hoping for that audience to consist strictly of your closest family & friends or you’re looking to create a best-seller).
Your story will be told with the utmost respect, authenticity, & creativity when you work with me. Your voice will shine through on every page, & we’ll create a book that fulfills your vision while keeping your readers engaged & turning the pages.
Romance Fiction
Looking to finally bring your fictional story to life? This is where it all began for me, so trust me, I’ve got you covered.
I’m an experienced romance writer specializing in a wide range of genres and tropes, from sweet and clean young adult stories to dark, steamy contemporary romance.
Over the years, I’ve worked long-term with private clients and publishing houses, crafting emotionally compelling novels that keep readers invested from the first page to the final chapter.
I know how to build three-dimensional characters, structure gripping plots around specific tropes or custom outlines, and deliver stories that feel immersive, intentional, and commercially viable. Whether you’re looking for enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity drama, billionaire secrets, romantic comedy charm, or LGBTQ+love stories, I understand how to execute the emotional beats that readers crave.
I always ensure that each manuscript is cohesive, polished, and free of plot holes or inconsistencies. I’m also someone who values clear communication, reliability, and professionalism – qualities that matter just as much as storytelling capability.
Nonfiction Writing and Editing
Looking for a writer to bring a nonfiction story to life? You’ve found her!
While much of my background includes memoir, biography, and long-form content writing, I also work with entrepreneurs, creators, and subject-matter experts who want to turn their knowledge into structured, valuable nonfiction books. Whether you have a rough outline, scattered notes, or just a concept in mind, I can help shape it into a cohesive manuscript with logical flow, strong organization, and engaging writing with accessible language.
I specialize in developmental, structural, line, and copy editing, ensuring your work is cohesive, emotionally impactful, and polished at every level. My editing services are ideal for authors who need clear, natural-sounding English, lack the time to revise extensively on their own, or want professional feedback that elevates their work before publication. I have experience editing fiction across genres as well as nonfiction ebooks and long-form content.

Each month is scoped based on your current phase (planning, interviewing, drafting, revising, or editing), allowing your project to progress steadily while remaining flexible as your needs evolve.
Retainers are often the most effective and efficient way to complete long-form projects, especially those that require multiple stages and ongoing collaboration.

About Me
I’m a long-form writer, ghostwriter, and editor with a diverse writing background that has given me the ability to work across a wide range of projects while maintaining a consistent standard of quality.
