Memoirs & Long-form Narrative Nonfiction
“You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.”
— Stephen King, On Writing
I am a professional writer specializing in memoir and long-form narrative nonfiction. I work with individuals to turn lived experience into enduring books that preserve personal truth while contributing meaningfully to Canada’s cultural and intellectual record.
❋ Why This Work MattersThe next generation needs more than feeds and fragments.
They need tomes of wisdom — carefully written works that show how real people navigated responsibility, failure, power, grief, and moral choice.
Stories lived with care deserve to be preserved with care.
❋ Who Should Write a MemoirYou should consider this work if:
you carry a story shaped by leadership, service, or responsibility
your experience intersects with history, institutions, or generational change
you value truth over spectacle and depth over speed
you are ready to reflect honestly and patiently
Not every life needs a book.
But some stories should not be lost.
❋ How the Work Happens20–25 in-depth interview sessions over approximately six months
A complete first draft by the end of that period
3–6 months of collaborative editing and refinement
A final manuscript within twelve months
This is deliberate, human-paced work — not rushed production.
❋ Who is Your AudienceThoughtful memoirs reach beyond the author.
Your readers may include:
young people seeking guidance and perspective
historians and researchers
public servants and leaders
families, communities, and future generations
A well-made memoir becomes part of the cultural record.
