I am a widely published journalist, ghostwriter, editor, and award-winning narrative poet.
I am fascinated by people’s stories and can help you turn your story into a book that makes your life come fully alive on the page, whether you are a writer or not. It will be rich with sensory detail, and it will maintain your voice and the unique flavor of you life. You will have the satisfaction of seeing the raw material of your life come together into a polished, coherent book which you can share with family, friends, and others.Personal Transformation
Have you overcome many obstacles during your life and found a way to live more authentically? We all have a hunger to be true to ourselves, to live the lives we were meant to live.
Here’s one example of personal transformation: Grace Halloran spent many of her early years in juvenile institutions and federal prison. Troubled by low self-esteem, she lacked any sense of purpose. Out of prison, in her mid-20s, her vision fading, she was told by a doctor that she would soon be totally blind. Grace was pregnant, and another doctor predicted her son would become blind, too, in his teens. Frightened but determined to prevent this bleak prognosis, she began studying physiology and other health sciences at a local college, reading with an extra-large magnifying glass and arranging to have her lessons put on cassette tapes. As she continued her studies, her inner uncertainty was supplanted by an increasingly strong sense of a healing mission.
Later, she investigated many alternative therapies, including herbal medicine and acupuncture, adapting them for herself and her growing son. As a result, she has helped improve many serious eye problems, including her own, and has been recognized as a pioneer in the field of alternative healing for eye disorders. Her son, with 20/20 vision, was accepted into the Air Force. Through determination, courage, and hard work, Grace Halloran transformed herself into a powerful, self-confident woman.
Perhaps you’ve had the desire to write about your own personal transformation. There are many good reasons to do so, like celebrating and/or reflecting on your journey or sharing it with others as an inspirational gift. In my business, Your Life Story Matters, I help people write their life stories, specializing in stories of personal transformation. I would be happy to help you turn your story into a compelling book that assists others along the path. I offer a free one hour phone consultation.
