I survived
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
My memoir is still in the drafting stage and I can feel the story straining to grow beyond what is already on the page. It chronicles my life after multiple strokes, living with aphasia, and the long road of resilience, recovery, and rebuilding. The message is clear in my head; the manuscript just needs the extra depth, balance, and consistent tone that will let readers experience it as vividly as I have lived it.
Here is what I need from you:
• Expand key moments that are currently sketched in outline form so each scene pulls the reader into the reality of stroke and aphasia.
• Strengthen the overall tone—compassionate, hopeful, and candid—so every chapter feels unified and authentic to my voice.
• Suggest smooth transitions and structural tweaks when added paragraphs demand it, but keep the main framework intact.
• Return the edited work in an easy-to-track format (Word or Google Docs with comments and change-tracking).
I will supply the current draft, background notes, and any missing timeline details you need. Your first milestone can be a sample chapter rewrite so we confirm voice and direction before moving on to the full manuscript. Once that is approved, we will proceed chapter by chapter.
If you have experience shaping personal health journeys or medical memoirs, especially involving stroke or aphasia, that insight will be invaluable. Let’s turn this draft into a powerful, polished account that raises awareness and inspires every reader who picks it up.
