My Story
I've been writing and telling tales my whole life, growing from childhood fantasies to professional work with corporations, museums, a theme park, a university and other nonprofit organizations. I've studied and worked with other writers, created video, audio, websites and presentations. Now I'm ready to share all I know and love about storytelling to help others share what they know better than anyone, themselves, through memoir writing and creation.
What I Offer
Memoirs for Children
Children love hearing stories about the people they know and love. Share yours in a keepsake picture book that features family photos, graphics and a touch of whimsy. I teach classes and provide individual consulting to help you conceive and write stories, select photos, add embellishments and publish.
