Maybe you've been thinking...
"I have thousands of words, but I'm not sure they're headed in the right direction."
"Should I keep writing or stop and rethink my story?"
"Do I need beta readers? A developmental editor? A coach?"
"Should I write a proposal or finish the manuscript first?"
"I feel like I'm wasting time because I don't know what comes next."
You don't need more conflicting advice.
You need someone who understands memoir to help you see your story—and your next step—more clearly.
Hi, I’m Jessica
I’m a memoir coach and story strategist who helps writers turn lived experience into clear, compelling stories.
Most of the writers I work with aren’t at the beginning—they’ve already started, but something isn’t clicking. My work focuses on helping you understand what your story is really about, how it’s shaped, and how to move forward with confidence.
My clients have gone on to sign with literary agents, sell their stories to Big Five publishers and small presses, self-publish and bring their stories to life via hybrid publishing.
My specialty isn't simply helping writers improve their manuscripts. It's helping them understand what their memoir needs next.
