Travis Moran – Editor

Hey, I'm Travis!

From cultivating debut authors to publishing original work, I've devoted my life to the craft of writing.

Early my career, I developed nonfiction titles across all major sports, partnering with legends like Myron Cope, Leo Mazzone, and Dennis Rodman. More recently, with TrueHoop, I contributed to 120+ articles and provided structural feedback for founder Henry Abbott's "Ballistic" (Norton, 2025). In between, I spent a decade teaching creative writing and narrative nonfiction at a Beijing university.

I approach manuscripts with a machete and a torch, forging a path from your rough draft to a publishable manuscript. I promise pragmatic advice, constructive candor, and enthusiastic support — all honed to reaching your target reader and getting your project to a bookshelf. Along the way, I'll elevate your confidence and enrich your craft.

So, whether you’re writing your first novel, a captivating memoir, or even the next "Moneyball," I'd love to hear about your project!

Though I bid selectively, I respond to all requests.
