Where memories become memoirs.
I help writers shape their experiences into publishable memoirs — with clarity, accountability and transformational feedback.
HERE’S THE THING
Most memoir writers get stuck somewhere in the messy middle — not because they can’t write, but because they don’t have clarity.
When you stay stuck, you:
Spend most of your precious writing time reading what you’ve already written or revising in circles, which means you never really get closer to the end
Continue spending money on craft courses, craft books and writing groups that never really move the needle because your writing isn’t the problem; your lack of direction is
And underneath all of that…
You question whether your story is actually meaningful enough, or if you’ve been holding onto something that doesn’t quite work.
Worry you’ll never actually finish this book, but even when you’re not working on it…you think about it all the time.
You feel a quiet guilt for not finishing it, especially because this story matters to you—and maybe to other people, too.
You start to wonder if maybe you just don’t have what it takes to pull this off.
Hi, I’m Jessica!
I'm a book coach and strategist helping writers transform their lived experiences into compelling memoirs— with clarity, confidence and accountability.
My super power is helping writers identify their internal story. In memoir, there’s the plot (experiences), and then there’s the understory (what they mean). Once you understand the heart of your story — what it’s all really about — everything else falls into place.
When you work with me, you'll realize you've found a true partner; someone who can walk alongside you through the all the ups and downs of writing a book.
My clients have signed with literary agents, sold their stories to Big Five publishers, self-published and brought their stories to life via hybrid publishing.
There are so many ways to turn your story into a book, and my programs take you from memory to memoir with guidance, community, and transformational feedback along the way.
