Offerings
I help people make sense of the stories they're carrying—memoirs, personal narratives, legacy projects, and the moments that define you. Whether you're starting with a single memory or a whole life's worth of material, my job is to help you find the thread, name the emotional truth, and shape it into something that feels like you on the page. Below are the ways we can work together.
1
Having trouble finding the thread or articulating the emotional core? That's where I come in. During this session, I'll guide you through your thoughts so you can discover what you’re really trying to say. At the end, I'll provide a written summary and a crafted opening sentence to get you going.
$100
(Because getting started is the hardest part.)
Clarity Session
2
Everybody has a story worth telling, but a whole memoir? That can feel overwhelming. Maybe you want to preserve that one defining moment in your life or a series of your loved one's stories. You don’t have to be written into history books to be remembered. One chapter at a time—you talk, I write.
Single chapter $750, three chapter package available. Digital delivery included; print available at cost.
A Chapter of Your Life
3
You know what you want to say, but not how to write it. I can help. I’ve written everything from novels to personal essays to legal documents to copy. I’ve written citations after every sentence of a fifty-page brief and a one hundred word story about a girl fascinated by a firefly. Your platform, your voice, your purpose.
Price based on scope of project.
Ghostwriting
4
Already have something written, but it’s just not sounding right? Let’s work together to find your voice, the emotional through-line, or clean up what you already have. Basically, we work until it sounds like you—only clearer.
Developmental editing $80 per hour, Copyediting $50 per hour.

"Working with Lauren on my memoir was an incredibly meaningful experience. As I revisited my breast cancer diagnosis and everything that came with it, she created a space that felt safe, comfortable, and even fun—something I never expected from such a deeply personal journey. Through her thought-provoking questions and writing talent, I was able to reconnect with my own inner strength, leaving me feeling more grounded and capable in my life today. I'm so grateful for her care, compassion, and the beautiful way she brought my story to life."

How it works
Whatever service you choose, it starts with a conversation. A chance for me to understand your goals, for you to ask questions, and for us to see if we're a good fit.
Then we talk some more. Depending on the project, there might be one session or several. This is where we dive into the details. If we're working on a memoir, you don't need to study or prepare, but photos, letters, or anything that could jog your memory can be helpful.
From there, I organize, synthesize, and write in your voice—with your pace, logic, and emotions.
Once a draft is ready, you get a chance to read and respond. What feels true? What needs adjusting? What surprised you? I take your feedback and refine the piece until it sounds like you, only clearer.
Whether you're looking for clarity, a single chapter, a full ghostwritten narrative, or help polishing what you already have, the process stays the same: you talk, I listen, and together we shape the story you're trying to tell.
