The Co-Creation Space
I work intimately with each of my clients to bring forth their most authentic voice and capture, with nuance and precision, the unique ideas and expertise they struggle to put into words.
My approach uses empathic oral storytelling and co-writing techniques, a practice I bridge from my career at the highest levels of journalism, where my central task was to find the compelling, human narrative within immensely complex subjects.
The process begins with a guided discussion about your topic, purpose, and goals. I’ve helped people write everything from website content for small businesses and TED-like talks, to specialist journal articles and Master’s or PhD dissertations.
I strive to create a safe, unencumbered space where conversation can flow. As you speak, I will scribe your key words and help you weave them into beautiful, effortless prose. There is great power in hearing your ideas reflected back to you. Again and again, I have witnessed how this unlocks a profound sense of creativity and confidence.
