Memoir Excavation Packages
Let’s build a blueprint for bringing your story to the page
The world is craving authenticity and connection.
Our stories connect us.
If you have a story to tell, you’ve come to the right place.
Welcome.
Your story deserves to be heard. Your experiences, preserved in writing, contain a wealth of inspiration and wisdom for your readers and a legacy for your loved ones. But when the blank page or a blinking cursor stares back at you, finding the right words to begin can feel like a daunting task.
After all, a lifetime of details, memories, and experience become more layered with each passing day. If only you had a seasoned storyteller to help you sift through the details and excavate your story.
I’m here to help.
I’m an award-winning freelance journalist who has conducted over 250 interviews in the last three years. I specialize in reported features, narrative profiles, and story-driven work that brings depth, clarity, and humanity to complex lives and ideas. Beyond being a storyteller, I work as a story excavator and help people uncover, shape, and structure the narratives already embedded in their experience.
Memoir excavation packages are for you if:
You have always wanted to tell your story, but don’t know where to start.
You have an idea of what experiences to capture on the page, but need some extra support to build a blueprint.
You have written in other genres, but when it comes to telling your own story, you need a collaborator who can help translate your skills to craft a memoir.
All experience levels and all stages of the process are welcome.
How it works:
Through a series of interviews we work together to uncover the story or stories you want to tell, and build a blueprint for the memoir that the world needs you to share.
