People love stories and you've got a good one.

The help you need.

Whether you want to share your professional expertise, the story of your business, or the stories of your life, I'll help you figure out what you want to say and how to say it. 

Together we'll get it out of your head, onto the page.

Project management.
My experience as a writer, editor, and graphic designer means I know a good sentence, good design, and a professional presentation when I see it.

And I've got the project management experience to help you develop your memoir and schedule and meet your deadlines.

You don't need (or want) to do it alone. That's why I' here.

After finishing my book, A Snail Mail Guide to Cursive Writing Practice, I can say, it's so rewarding to have published a book. Writing and publishing your stories will leave you with something to hold onto ... a lasting legacy.

From cover to cover we'll build your story collection ... and I'll walk you through each step of the process.

Email or call today (207) 252-9757 to talk about the best way to share what you know and create a legacy that educates, entertains, and enlightens your readers.

Short Story Guide

A long-time graphic designer and writer, I work with authors, business owners, individuals, and people like you who are interested in sharing their stories ... and what they know.

My degree in Media Studies, with a concentration in writing and a minor in Deaf Studies, reflects my long-standing curiosity with communication, paper, words, typography, illustration, and design.

When I started my career as a graphic designer, it was as a print designer. I've designed magazines, reports, books, brochures, infographics, and posters.

While I dabble in web design and social media, words on paper remain my focus. It's the tangible nature of paper, the act opening a book and turning the page that captivates me ... and countless others. It's a long-lasting form that gives us all something to hold on to.

Short Story Memoir is part of Composition1206 where you can see more of my graphic design work and explore what it takes to get your book in print.

I create the collage work you see throughout the site using painted sheet music ... a perfectly imperfect art form.

Let's work together to write your stories and create a memoir you'll be proud to share.
