Travis Moran – Editor

I’m Travis — a developmental editor and story architect specializing in sports narratives: fiction, narrative nonfiction, and memoir. With 20+ years’ experience, I guide authors from promising draft to polished manuscript, helping you produce publishable work that resonates with readers.

I’ve edited 50+ published sports titles and 120+ NBA articles, working with award-winning journalists, legendary athletes, and debut authors. My tenures in Asia and Europe bring a nuanced perspective to cross-cultural storytelling. Beyond editing, I publish short stories, enter competitions, and evaluate fiction for publication.

Whether you’re an athlete with a story to tell, a journalist crafting your historical opus, or a novelist exploring sports-themed fiction, I help you elevate your story and hone your craft. I focus on strengthening narrative structure, deepening character development, and sharpening prose to keep readers engaged.

Please check the GALLERY below for services, rates, and typical timelines. For more information on my approach to working with first-time authors, or questions about my editorial philosophy, send me a message — I’m here to help.

Though I bid selectively, I respond to all inquiries.

· Copy Editing is available only for manuscripts that have undergone development — or when bundled with Developmental Editing.
