Overview
My professional and academic careers have led me to helping people tell their stories, especially as relates to crisis, collaborating with them to tell stories about adversity overcome and lessons learned. The root of all my writing has been telling stories of how people made viable their lives' purpose in the face of constant change. I've helped them make sense of their experiences and then craft those accounts in a way that can assist others. In over 30 years of writing and editing, whether they are top executives, workers on the front lines, scholars, or the person who delivers the mail to you every day, I have helped each tell their stories.

Burton was great to work with and stayed on track with what he said. If there was going to be a delay, he let me know in advance and was always straightforward with me. Burton's modifications and revisions to my draft were great and made the book flow better. I would highly recommend his services and will collaborate with him again in the future if I have a second book!

Burton was able to take my manuscript and notes...

Mr. St. John, did what so many others failed at. He brought my manuscript to life. I shed tears when the book I'd been working on for years was finally complete thanks to Burton. He turned my manuscript from a piece of work I was sick of looking at, into a story that brought real tears to my eyes. I CANNOT say enough good things about Mr. St. John. He's professional, timely, and a great communi...
