Ongoing editorial partnership for scholars, fellows, and founders: fellowship and grant materials, thought leadership, high-stakes professional writing. Retainer-based, so the thinking compounds month over month.
Course and curriculum design grounded in fifteen-plus years in the college classroom — including writing pedagogy for the AI era, built by someone who teaches with these tools rather than fearing them.
Evaluation and guidance on machine-generated prose: voice, register, calibration, and taste. What a literary training notices that a benchmark can't.
Yale World Fellows, Smithsonian award winners, and university faculty — people doing consequential work who needed the writing to match.
Memoir.
A full-length memoir, built as a year-long partnership between a life and a writer — from a complete Blueprint of the book to a finished manuscript, in your voice, with your name on the cover. I take on one full collaboration at a time.
College essay coaching.
Each application season I coach a small number of high-school seniors — no more than eight — through the Common App personal statement, the UC Personal Insight Questions, and their supplemental essays. Not ghostwriting; the opposite. I help students find the story only they can tell, and say it in their own voice.
