Writing

It’s not all about the telling! Stories need to be discovered, researched, interpreted, or imagined! This is the start of the process for me.

​

But did you know that I also write stories for clients as well?

​

This can be collaboratively for a project, writing a blog, or creating stories for an event.

​

Here are a few examples of different types of writing commisions I have done:

"Thank you so much for all your hard work with this. It’s exactly what I was hoping for. …. You’ve included some really lovely ideas about how to make it sensory and playful as well as igniting an interest in the original story book. I’m looking forward to getting going with this now. Thanks so much!"
