Travis Moran – Editor

I’m Travis — a developmental editor, book coach, and story architect specializing in sports-themed narratives: memoirs, novels, screenplays, and short fiction.

Employing 20+ years’ experience, I guide authors from promising draft to polished manuscript, helping you create work that resonates with your target reader. I’ve edited 50+ published sports titles and 120+ NBA articles, alongside award-winning journalists, legendary athletes, and emerging authors. Living in Asia and Europe for over a decade gives me a nuanced perspective to cross-cultural storytelling. I also pen short stories, compete in major writing contests, and evaluate fiction for publications.

I focus on strengthening narrative structure, deepening character development, and optimizing reader engagement. Whether you’re an athlete with powerful personal tale, a journalist composing an analytical deep dive, or a debut novelist exploring a sports-themed opus, I will elevate your story and hone your craft.

If you'd like more information on my full range of services, my approach to working with first-time authors, or my editorial philosophy, please send me a message — I’m here to help.

Though I bid selectively, I respond to all inquiries.
