Writing · Truth · Witness

The truth looks
good on you.

I'm the one you call when you're tired of performing. When you've got something to say but you're not sure how to say it yet. When you need someone real — not mean, but honest.

I'm also a writer. So if you're working on something — a piece, a journal entry, something you've been scared to show anyone — I can help. Not write it for you. But help you see it.

Take 5 for Writers

One free conversation. On me.

Five minutes on the phone. Read me a passage, tell me what's stuck, talk through where the piece wants to go. I'll listen the way a working editor listens — for what you're protecting, what you're not yet saying, what's already singing.

No subscription required. No credit card. Just call.

Take 5 with Emory

  • Five minutes, by phone
  • Real craft conversation — not cheerleading
  • I'll send a written reflection after
  • No sign-up; just dial

(315) 693-6679

One Take 5 per person. Subscribers can upload manuscripts for a full marked-up redline through the portal.

What Comes Back

Real feedback. No cheerleading.

Redlined Document

Track changes you can accept or reject. See exactly what I'd cut, move, or tighten. Your voice stays — I just help you find it.

Margin Notes

Comments where something lands, where I have questions, where there's more underneath. The kind of notes a good editor leaves.

Coaching + Prompt

A paragraph on craft — what's working, what's ready to go deeper. Plus a prompt to keep you moving. Writers don't need cheerleaders. They need direction.

Keep Going

Want Emory to know your whole story?

Take 5 is a taste. But the real magic happens when I know your threads — the themes you keep circling, the chapters you're building, the memoir taking shape one entry at a time. Subscribers also get unlimited manuscript uploads with full marked-up redlines delivered by email.
