For Those Who Love to Write, but Appreciate Support.

Ellen Marsh, writer and editor

How We Work Together

Three Ways In

Each grounded in the same conviction: that your story deserves a careful reader, and a reader who believes in it.

Writing Craft

Small workshops and one-on-one sessions on the craft of non-fiction — structure, voice, scene, and the particular challenges of writing a life honestly.

Developmental Editing

A thorough, close reading of your manuscript — attending to structure, pacing, character, and the throughline of your argument or story.

Memoir Support

Ongoing partnership for writers at work on long-form or short memoir: from the first uncertain pages to a finished draft, I am beside you for the whole of it.
