Roxanne is always happy to discuss kidlit ghostwriting projects. She only takes on adult projects by referral.

Willa Carter once said, "there are only two or three human stories..." But there are endless ways of telling them. Story is history and legend. It is imagination and possibilities. It is love...betrayal...survival...growth. Story connects us. It crosses borders and jumps time. Story is the painter of life.

Everyone has a story. Whether you're in business or education, ministry or technology, story is the basis for your audience connection. It is how you're remembered.

​Are you connecting? Are you telling good story?

As a freelance writer and editor, with experience in multiple genres and formats, Roxanne produces and edits high-quality, original story (a.k.a. "content") for books, websites, magazines, and marketing material. Clients appreciate her quick turn-around times and conversational voice, but it's her commitment to excellence that keeps them coming back for more.

"Owning your story is the bravest thing you'll ever do." ~Brene Brown
