Meet Morgan


Writer. Editor. Woman who’s had to rewrite her own story more than once.

I help women shape the stories they’ve lived through. The ones that left marks, made them wiser, and maybe even made them quiet for a while.

Whether you're writing a memoir, a personal essay, or just trying to sound like yourself again after leaning too hard on AI, I’m here to help you find your voice and put some backbone behind it.

I’ve worked in journalism, tech, publishing, and poetry. I’ve written my way through grief, reinvention, and the long process of learning not to shrink myself. So I don’t just care about your story. I get it. I know what it means to write your truth when the world tells you to keep it cute and quiet.

You’ve been through it. The kind of "it" that rewires your sense of self. Now you’re ready to put it into words. You want it to sound like you, not a podcast guest or a prompt result.

That’s where I come in. I can help you turn lived experience into writing your story with power, structure, and voice. Memoir. Essay. Messy Google doc. We can work with it.
