Make your

STORY

stand out.

It’s not the story itself,
but how you tell it that matters.

I’m here to be your Story Partner.

Real is Relatable.

It all begins with a spark. Maybe you want to launch or grow a business. Maybe you want to turn an idea into a book or film. Or maybe you have a creative vision to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story makes all the difference.

“If a story is in you,
it has to come out.”

Dear writer:

Give your story the love it needs.

  • “I was stuck in act two hell with my screenplay when I found Autumn. Her ability to dig deep into story mechanics while holding space for the messy creative process is unmatched. She's like a story detective - relentlessly uncovering character gold and plot diamonds that were hiding in my own pages. Through our work together, I finished my script and I discovered a much deeper understanding of my craft.”

    ~ Michael S, Screenwriter, Austin Film Festival Finalist

  • “Working with Autumn on my comedy pilot was like getting a master class in the science of funny. She has this uncanny ability to see where humor is hiding. My pilot went from decent to optioned by a major streamer.”

    ~ Josh F, TV Comedy Writer

  • “Autumn is more than a writing coach - she's a story alchemist. She takes your story, holds it in her head, and it comes out transformed - like she's run it through some magical story laboratory. She uncovered the beating heart of my story and helped me finally bring it to life. Now I'm onto draft two of my manuscript and finally feel like a real writer. This is part of Autumn’s magic - she transforms how you see yourself as a storyteller.”

    ~ Ellen G, Author

  • “I was staring at a blank page, wanting to get my memoir on the page after 9 years. Autumn cracked the code by helping me find the real story beneath the story - the one I was afraid to tell. She offers a unique blend of gentle support and relentless story investigation that helped me find the courage to write what matters. Six months later, I have a complete first draft.”

    ~ Claire M, Debut Memoirist

Without story, you have no power of persuasion. Story is what drives connection, action, and success.

For Entrepreneurs: Strategic Story Shifts & Creative Coaching

Story is the secret sauce that will take your business to the next level, whether you are introducing your brand to the market, navigating growth, or pivoting strategies. Your business story isn't some mission statement gathering dust—it's the raw, compelling truth about why you exist and what gets you fired up every morning. It's the difference between being forgettable and becoming memorable in a crowded attention economy.

From corporations and tech startups to creative entrepreneurs, educational institutions, coaches, and visionary founders—I help organizations to solopreneurs of all kinds harness the power of strategic storytelling by placing real emotion at the center of their work. This transforms passive interest into investment, audience curiosity into loyal connection, business challenges into breakthrough opportunities, and minor edits into major impact.

What drives me most is witnessing the moment when a business owner realizes their story is bigger than marketing—it's the beating heart of their enterprise, who they are, and the bridge between business objectives and human connection.

  • “Autumn's genius for navigating hard conversations and elevating business strategy transformed our startup journey. Her storytelling framework helped us make our message for a geolocation drinking water app so resonant that we secured the investment we needed. She taught us how to communicate our vision in a way that investors couldn't resist.” 

    ~Vikram M, Serial Entrepreneur & App Developer

  • "When I had a retreat that I couldn't sell, I reached out to Autumn in desperation. I had created something meaningful, but my words weren't connecting. She asked me deep, searching questions that uncovered the true heart of my offering. The narrative she crafted made women stop and truly feel something. My retreat sold out, and participants arrived already feeling understood. Autumn’s business story coaching and her way with words did more than sell my retreat; she showed me how to build a bridge that allowed women to walk toward the healing they'd been searching for. I’m very grateful to her."

    ~Julie C, Bali Retreats

    ~ Alexandra R, Global Brand Director

She gave us sound business ideas that transformed our trajectory from a few pupils per class to waitlists. We wouldn't have seen this success without her.”

    ~Debra R, Arts Educator and Artistic Director

  • “Autumn is an intuitive, masterful leader. Because I trust her experience in both creative writing and business, I chose Autumn to be a consulting producer on a film of mine. Her calm demeanor, story and production advice, and sense of humor gently led me to be the award-winning filmmaker I am now.”

    ~Sarah R, Filmmaker
