About this service
Summary
What's included
Storyboard
Every good story has a particular arc and endpoint. It is critical to figure out the crux of your story even before you start writing a sentence. After a series of interviews, we will craft a storyboard that identifies the critical ingredients to make your story one people will want to read.
Overarching Outline
Once we review your story and ensure it has a solid direction, we will create a chapter-by-chapter outline that will fill in critical questions and the challenges you faced and overcame to make you the person you are today. We will identify lessons you've learned, the dragons you've had to battle, and the wisdom you've gained.
First "Rough" Draft - Just getting the words down on paper
When we have established critical story criteria and steps, I will begin the first detailed draft of the story. This will probably be the longest phase of the entire process, but I will keep you updated along the way.
Second Draft - A more refined version
We both review the first draft together, looking for gaps, plot holes, and unresolved blocks that might slow the reader down. We also look for aspects of your life that need to be added or taken out. We ensure it matches the original vision of our storyboard. If the story needs changes to make it more compelling, we review those as they come up.
Copyedited and Polished Final
Once the second draft is completed and reviewed by you, we send it to a copyeditor who will ensure all our grammar, spelling, and flow are correct.

I've known and worked with Chris on and off for over 20 years. Chris is an exceptional strategist, collaborator and writer. Our most recent project was how to improve the customer experience for American Research Bureau clients. The proliferation in scams has made it more difficult to build and maintain relationships of trust over an extended period of time. Chris recognized ARB's problem, provided excellent suggestions for how to overcome them and has helped us make stronger connections.

Chris is a gifted writer. I had the pleasure of working with him on a number of client projects over a two year period. Chris’ biggest strength was his ability to take complex information, turn it into a coherent strategy, and create narratives and other content that met the client needs. He is a dependable advisor and a conscientious teammate. I’d highly recommend Chris if you need someone who can see through complexity and write something that will move the needle for you.

I worked with Chris for 5 years on a number of diverse projects. Chris was the head writer for the company and is an exceptional story teller, writer, and author. Chris is able to combine research and concepts and turn it into captivating stories that move his audience. He has extended story telling expertise and has been a story consultant for other writers. He is extremely creative, articulate, and conscientious in his writing. The word I heard most often from our clients was, "WOW!"
