The Beginning....

Outline Your Legacy Session

We collaborate in real-time to assemble your rich expertise or captivating life story into a book outline that serves as your plan for the journey ahead. You “brain dump” all of your abstract, big-picture ideas during the session and together, we begin to shape them into a solid framework, find a coherent narrative of themes and sketch out possible chapters. Right before your eyes, we take raw ideas and transform them into a strong, focused, and exciting foundation for your book that you can put into play immediately.

What You Get:

  • 45-minute Zoom private coaching session with a writing expert
  • Written version of your outline
  • A clear vision for your real-life book!

Testimonials

Johnny Wright

Sarah played a vital role in helping me write my first book.

Although Sarah didn’t have firsthand knowledge of my subject matter, she learned from what I shared as we wrote, plus did her own research to make sure she fully understood all elements of my topic. Sarah is also an exceptional communicator, and was always available when I needed to talk about an idea or share feedback. To top it off, she works extremely fast without compromising quality.

– Johnny Wright,
Celebrity hairstylist and author of "Natural and Curly Hair For Dummies"

Kari Boatner

A memoir had been on my mind for a while but I didn't, at the gut level, believe that my stories were anything anyone would want to read.

And, then along came just the right person to not only gently and patiently pull the stories out of me but, more importantly, help me fully embrace the notion that there are people out there who not only want to read my stories but actually need to. That when I use my own unique voice, that literally no one else has, the stories will resonate with people. Sarah was the catalyst, the coach and the highly skilled author that brought that forth. I am immensely grateful for all the hours she spent listening, asking and challenging me to just keep going!

-Kari Boatner, Kari Boatner Coaching

Alli Simon

Sarah's support was truly transformative for our organization.

Her meticulous attention to detail and deep commitment to understanding our mission brought a new level of clarity essential for effectively sharing our purpose and fostering meaningful connections within our community as we continue to expand our programs and offers. We're so grateful for Sarah and wholeheartedly would recommend her work to anyone who is hoping to share a message with the world.

-Alli Simon, Executive Director, Black Being

Dr Esther Lopez

Writing our stories can be a daunting process that can be less scary with the right support and guidance. Sarah is able to dive into my story by being open, receptive and honest with her feedback along the way. She empowers me to find my voice in a way that feels organic and empowering. 

-Dr Esther Lopez, DDS

Cary Phillips

Very much enjoyed working with Sarah.  She asked good questions to get clear on my objective and then she got to work!  She added much needed energy to my book.

-Cary Phillips, JD–speaker and author of “Arrows in Your Quiver”

Hi There!

I’m Sarah

I’m a writer and editor with over 25 years of experience and have helped my clients secure over $30 Million in deals and opportunities. 

My Back Story

I landed a work study job in the Writing Center at DePaul University in Chicago helping other students write, and everything fell into place. Writing and editing became my vocation. I fell in love with process of teaching, editing, and most importantly—helping people heal and embrace their own authentic voice. Nothing brings me more joy than watching the pride and joy that emerges in someone when their ideas shine on paper just as brightly as they do in their head. Being able to help someone else fully express their genius is transformational. Guiding someone in harnessing their own brilliance through words—there’s nothing like it!
