From the first phone call to a finished manuscript.
You do the talking and the approving. I do the organizing, drafting, and tech. You can stop at any point and keep everything we've made.
How it goes
I've got a story. I don't know where to start.
Free consult call
Thirty minutes by phone or Zoom. You tell me the story in broad strokes. I tell you honestly whether it's a book and whether we're a fit.
Find your through line and your reader
Every strong book is about one thing, written for someone in particular. We figure out what yours is about and who needs it: a newcomer, your grandkids, the person you used to be.
Where do you want me to start?
Recorded interview sessions
We meet for 60 to 90 minutes at a time, usually on Zoom, by phone if you prefer. I send the link, I record, I keep the files. You show up and talk, and I push for the details that make it real.
I organize and draft
I turn the transcripts into a chapter plan, then draft each chapter from your own words and voice, using AI-assisted tools and a lot of human judgment.
That's me. Change this one line.
You review, revise, and approve
You read every chapter. Cut it, change it, add to it. Nothing is final until you say so. If reading on a screen is hard, we go through it together on a call.
Hand-off
You get a complete manuscript ready for an editor and for publishing, plus your recordings and transcripts. If you want help publishing, I offer that too.
Curious what it costs?
It starts free, and you control the pace and the total. Everything is laid out plainly on the pricing page.

The first call is free and takes 30 minutes. You'll know whether your story is ready to be a book.
