Overview
I’m Travis — a veteran book editor, story developer, and writing coach specializing in sports narratives. I elevate memoirs, novels, screenplays, and short fiction.
I’ve partnered with award-winning journalists, legendary athletes, and rising writers to develop 50+ sports books and 120+ NBA-related articles. Twenty years of experience and considerable time abroad have sharpened my eye for cross-cultural storytelling. From working draft to polished manuscript, I’ll help you shape a story that resonates with your target reader.
Whether you’re an athlete with a powerful personal tale, a journalist crafting an analytical deep-dive, or a debut novelist exploring a sports-themed narrative — I can help. Together, we’ll solve structural and substantive problems, sharpen your understanding of craft, and hone your self-editing abilities.
If you’d like to learn more about my services, my approach to working with first-time authors, or my editorial philosophy, send me a message. I’d love to hear about your project!
Though I bid selectively, I respond to all inquiries.
