I work with authors, artists, healers, and visionaries—those who are not simply creating content, but birthing transmissions. People whose work is strange, soulful, unrepeatable. Whether they know it or not, they’re midwifing something holy, something unruly, something the world needs. I help bring that work into form with precision, depth, and mythic coherence.
My strength lies in perceiving the energetic architecture of language. The subterranean pulse of a paragraph. The emotional frequency behind a sentence. The mythos trying to break through the surface of a too-tidy arc. I don’t just look for clarity—I look for what’s trying to be remembered through the writing. And I help you write it into being.
I don’t impose structure—I excavate it. I listen for the soul beneath the syntax. I work with the rhythm of breath, of longing, of the erotic intelligence that lives in your language. Because I don’t believe the best writing is simply clean or clever—I believe the best writing is alive. It pulses with the cadence of presence. It seduces and devastates. It leaves the reader changed.
Working with me is not about taming the wildness of your ideas. It’s about daring to trust them. Together, we’ll uncover the myth that undergirds your project, the pattern that wants to emerge, and the voice that is most unmistakably yours. I’ll challenge you to go deeper, to break the spell of perfectionism, and to meet your audience not with polish but with power.
I bring a background in myth, poetics, narrative psychology, eros, and embodied creative practice—but what I offer is not a credential. It’s a frequency. A mirror. A fierce, compassionate field of resonance that helps you hear yourself more clearly and write from the depths of your knowing.
You won’t walk away with just a cleaner draft. You’ll walk away with a clearer voice, a deeper sense of creative purpose, and a manuscript—or body of work—that feels utterly, unmistakably you.
This is not a service. It’s a sacred contract.
You have the most incredible story of personal transformation. You braved the impossible, pulled yourself up by the bootstraps (and then tossed away those outmoded boots, which perpetuated so much struggle to begin with), and created an extraordinary life unmoored from the typical status-quo restraints. Everything about your personal timeline is screaming for a screenplay. Pretty much everyone and their grandmother has told you that you should write a book, host your own talk show, and pitch like crazy to the Hollywood set and the New York literati. Your desire to change the world has gotten you into trouble before, but it’s also piqued many a person’s attention and offered a solid blueprint for the way things could be.
But when it comes to sitting at your computer and pouring the ideas that are churning in your head onto the page, all you hear are crickets. Writing a book seemed great in theory, but putting words to your brilliant concepts is like watching tumbleweed drifting through a wasteland of inspiration.
If you’ve ever wanted to bring your ideas to life but didn’t quite have the resources or literary chops to take your narrative from your heart to the page, you’ll definitely resonate with all of this.
I believe that we are infinitely resourceful, but writing is hard work. It takes vigilance and attention to the minutest details. It’s something that many people who are busy living fabulous lives don’t always have the time, energy, or capacity for.
Most of my clients are visionary thinkers whose greatest desire is to impact other people positively and create pathways in place of solid roadblocks. I use my experience as a book doula, coach, editor, and collaborative writer to compassionately ferry my clients toward their desired goal: to create a book that blesses others with its wisdom. I help my clients to clarify their fears and blocks around translating their voices into a coherent narrative, so that they can access their passion and desire—and use them as fertilizer for a flourishing garden of words. I also help people identify the flavor and style of their literary voice, connect to their intuition, and approach book writing in a way that takes the pressure out of it and enables them to hone in, with eagle vision, on the essential message they want to convey.
A book is so much more than a vehicle for getting our work out into the world; it’s a mythical symbol that encapsulates the power of our stories to craft meaning and transmit knowledge that might persist long after we have heaved our final breath. A book is an alchemical crucible for the metamorphosis of the author and the reader alike—one with the capacity to expand the horizons of our world, challenge rancorous or oppressive beliefs, and expose the cartography of the soul so that we can navigate it with greater acuity and awareness.
To write a book for and with another person, to tell their story in a way that maintains fidelity to their life experiences and ideas, entails way more than compiling exhaustive volumes of research and interviews. It’s nothing short of a Vulcan mind meld…one that entails empathy, openness, and an instinctive understanding of the narrative that wants to come through.
It’s nothing short of a spiritual transmission.
I don’t just compile your ideas and shape them in a fashion that’s accessible and grammatically correct—I help you access your innate creativity and enable the seed of your story to grow into a mighty tree.
Most of us have several books in us that don’t ever come to life, for multiple reasons, ranging from lack of discipline to lack of writing experience. I act as a fellow spelunker and midwife, enabling the process of taking your book from its embryonic stages to its crystal-clear realization in the world.
it’s my life’s mission to help you bring your larger-than-lifeness into the world and to place it front and center. My path has helped hundreds of individuals access their inner voices so that the birth of their book is less about getting their ideas into final form and more about ensuring that whatever comes through them is faithful to their unique voice and story.
In other words, you can think of me as a channel. It’s my job to help you pluck the spirit of your story from out of the ethers and mold it into realized form.
I don’t employ a predictable, cookie-cutter process. Whether I’m working on a spiritual memoir, novel, or book of essays, I consider myself a channel for the larger message that wants to be birthed through you. Together, we’ll work closely, through all the ups and downs of creating a book. I’ll be there every step of the way—as we burn the midnight oil, reach epiphanies that are integral to the creative process, and navigate the many dark nights of the soul and magical moments that are sure to emerge.
Think of my transformational writing and editing services as soul mirroring.
You will learn just as much about yourself as you will about the book (or the play, or the collection of essays for your Substack, or the podcast saga) we are writing together.
This process is an initiation of the soul…one that is customized to the demands of the project at hand. Although I provide a tight container in terms of deadlines or other logistical aspects of the work, I like to leave as much room as possible for creative discoveries and delightful surprises.
Remember—
You are not writing the book! The book is writing you!
I’m a writer and editor with twenty years of experience in a variety of fields, from performing arts to space science to the human potential movement to ecology and sustainability. Dependability, a critical eye for details in tandem with an understanding of the bigger picture, and an unflagging devotion to the written word are the north stars that guide me throughout my work.
I’m resourceful, versatile, and full of ideas on how you can make your writing taut, fascinating, intelligible, and accessible to a variety of audiences. Unlike other editors who work at standard rates for their projects, I assess my client’s budget and specific needs, then work with them to negotiate a final fee. My clients have ranged from students to researchers to 1,000+ employee organizations. I can work with anybody and everybody, and accordingly customize my talents to suit your needs.
If you’re more interested in short, snappy, non-context-specific copy,
you’ll probably find yourself more satisfied with a run-of-the-mill copywriter who specializes in producing short-form content.
If you’re specifically attuned to the nuances and importance of storytelling,
there’s a strong possibility that we’ll work well together. I never sacrifice substance on the altar of style, and my interests and talents are most strongly aligned with large, multifaceted projects tying back to a single theme or set of themes.
My most rewarding work centers around crafting a unique story—your story.
This isn’t solely about making sure you’ve eliminated dangling modifiers or sloppy run-on sentences; in fact, it goes well past technical considerations and into the terrain of getting in touch with your distinctive voice—the special message you have to offer the world, gift-wrapped and presented with great care.
You don’t have to be a writer to spin a compelling narrative.
My job is to make sure that you have an outstanding piece of writing that reflects who you are on levels both clear and subtle. Through extensive interviews and a series of collaborative meetings, we can begin to weave the raw fabric of your book and align you with your target audience.
Wherever you are in your manuscript, I will help you determine your greatest strengths, and assist you in mobilizing those qualities to tell your story in a voice that is true to you.
I specialize in transformational storytelling and soul-rooted authorship across disciplines. My work lives at the intersection of structure and spirit, craft and calling. I bring deep editorial skill, mythic sensitivity, and a rare ability to hold both complexity and clarity.
Whether you're crafting a book, building an exhibition, or writing from the raw edge of becoming, I offer more than editing—I offer creative companionship rooted in clarity, myth, and the courage to tell the truth only you can tell.
