Jeannie created an atmosphere of nurturing and creativity. The experience was truly life-altering. I have wanted to write for as long as I can recall. But I needed expert advice and truthful feedback. She patiently helped me to write my own truth. Carlos Zepeda, Graduate Student

I am a professional writer who makes memoirs happen. I help you prepare, polish, and publish books and memoirs. Writing coaches can tenderly help you preserve memories on the page, in your unique way of telling. Or simply offer an editor’s touch to improve style, readability, and grammar of what you have written. 

Whether you are a beginner or a pro, I advise you by the hour, day, or project. I might even write your life story for you. Or coach you to do it yourself. You receive structure, a friendly editing voice, and suggestions. 

I can see your work through to finding an agent or simply help you complete an informal, self-published story to share with your family. We can tell your story using photos, birth certificates, maps and mementos.
