Travis Moran – Editor

Including a rising tide of Reedsy projects, Travis has developed the works of first-time authors, prize-winning writers, fan favorites, trusted insiders, and Hall of Famers from all four major sports — guiding nearly 50 books to market.

Now an editor and contributor at TrueHoop, Travis crafts and publishes NBA features from expert analysis and cutting-edge metrics to investigative reporting on sportswashing and financial corruption. He has evaluated literary fiction for numerous publications — most recently for "Passengers Journal," an envelope-pushing digital magazine of literary prose and visual arts.

As an active, publishing writer of sports and fiction, Travis appreciates how challenging the drafting, editing, finishing, and publishing processes can be. His imaginative analysis, cinematic eye, and storytelling savvy will elevate your book, novel, short story, article, or screenplay to its highest potential.

Though he bids selectively, Travis responds to all requests.
