As a writer and storyteller for the past 25 years, I have learned to chip away everything that is not the story in order to let the narrative emerge . As an editorial consultant, I help clients do the same: Find the story they want to tell, to make that story as powerful as possible, and to connect with its audience.

Previous clients include Columbia Sports/Lola Media, PKK Architects, The Wildling, Belt Publishing, and others. For inquiries and pricing, contact frankabures (at) yahoo dot com.
