Travis Moran – Editor

Hey, I'm Travis — and I've been helping both established authors and emerging voices reach their target readers for over 20 years.

Early on, I worked in-house, guiding 30+ sports titles from concept to consumer, collaborating with legends such as Myron Cope, Leo Mazzone, and Dennis Rodman. More recently, I developed 120+ articles for TrueHoop — and provided structural feedback for Henry Abbott’s, “Ballistic” (Norton, 2025). In between, I taught creative writing at a university in Beijing.

Along with their stories, I develop authors. Each manuscript offers a chance to expand a toolkit and fortify confidence.

Whether you’re a first-timer with a story worth telling, a journalist cultivating a long-form piece, or a creative writer working on sports-adjacent novel — I’d love to hear about your project. From formless premise to polished manuscript, I’ll help you shape a story that resonates with your target reader.

Specializing in Editorial Assessment and Developmental Editing, I bid selectively but respond to all requests.
