Find Your Story.
Journalist-led story development for artists, musicians and creatives.
How We Work Together
I interview you the way I'd interview you for a story. Then I tell you what the story is — from an entertainment journalist’s point of view.
You Might Be a Fit If:
You don’t know what makes you different from other artists in your space
You can describe what you’ve made, but struggle to explain why it matters to someone outside your world
You feel like your work makes sense in your head, but not when you try to talk about it
What’s Included:
A 60-minute guided conversation informed by journalism-style questioning focused on uncovering the most compelling narratives in your work
Journalist’s Brief: a written document outlining your key themes, strongest angles and story directions that emerge from the session
Full session recording
Outcome: You leave with a clear, articulate understanding of what makes your work distinctive, meaningful and worth paying attention to.
Founding client rate: $250 $350 (Price available for a limited number of early clients.)
Story Development Session
Stress-test how your story sounds under real interview conditions before you're in one.
You Might Be a Fit If:
You have an interview, podcast or press opportunity coming up and want to practice
You want to know how your answers actually land when you're put on the spot
You already have a sense of your story, but you need to sharpen how you deliver it
What’s Included:
A 45-minute live mock interview conducted by a working entertainment journalist
Session recording with an annotated transcript highlighting moments of clarity, strength and places to tighten
Outcome: You leave with a clearer sense of how your story sounds in real conversation, including what lands, what gets lost and how to communicate it with more confidence and precision under pressure.
Price: $150
Mock Interview Session
Add-On: Narrative Profile
A professionally-written artist narrative built from your story development session or mock interview and shaped through an entertainment journalist's editorial lens.
You Might Be a Fit If:
You need polished, ready-to-use language for your EPK, bio, press materials or website
You want a professional writer — not a template, not AI — to translate your story into copy that works
What’s Included:
A ~500-word, written narrative drawing on the themes, angles and story directions from your session
Written through a journalist's editorial lens, where I bring the same craft that goes into a published profile
Outcome: Ready to use across bios, EPKs, websites, and press materials
Price: $200
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. I don't pitch journalists, secure placements or arrange interviews.
My role is to help you find and articulate your story so you're prepared for the interviews, podcasts, festivals and other opportunities that come with promoting your work.
-
Not exactly. Traditional media training focuses on presentation technique and rehearsed answers. I focus on something earlier in the process: figuring out what your story actually is, so that when you're in an interview, you're not performing answers, you know them.
-
Primarily musicians, filmmakers and creatives who have a current or upcoming project and want to be able to talk about it clearly and compellingly.
If you're not sure whether you or your project is a fit, the discovery call is the right place to find out.
-
We start with your project: what you made, what it's about and what you were trying to do. From there, I ask the kinds of questions a journalist would typically ask, centered around your background, your process, your perspective and what makes this work different from everything else you could have made.
You’ll find that, most of the time, the interesting stories emerge from conversations where you’re asked the right questions. This is when I use my expertise as a journalist to tell you what others would find interesting.
After the session, you receive a full recording and a written Journalist's Brief outlining the key themes, strongest angles and story directions that came up.
-
Journalists spend their careers identifying stories and the angle that makes something worth a reader's time. That's a different skill than knowing your own work well, and it's hard to develop when you're inside it.
I give artists access to that perspective before they need it.
-
No. These sessions are entirely separate from my work as a journalist and don't guarantee, or create any pathway to, editorial coverage, interviews, or features in any publication.
What you get is clarity about your own story. What you do with it is up to you.
