Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a developmental editor for memoir and nonfiction books.

In today’s competitive publishing landscape, writing a well-received memoir or narrative nonfiction book takes a significant investment of time, energy, and often, money. It can be hard on the ego, and it’s where the magic happens that brings your story to life.

I teach you the skills you need to succeed while also helping you create a book that readers eagerly share with their friends. I go beyond what you can learn from books, writers’ workshops, courses or even retreats, because my sole focus is on you and your work. 

I’m a trade-published author, a contributor to Writer’s Digest and Jane Friedman’s site; over the past 30 years, I’ve  written for outlets from Comedy Central to Lion’s Roar, as well as for organizations from the University of Toronto to NASA. 

If this is what you’re looking for, let’s talk.
