Write with me

I work one-on-one with private writing clients. Let’s dig into your memoir or non-fiction manuscript. As I recently said over at Memoir Land, “I love the work of shaping a book—whether it’s the earliest stages of an idea, the crucible of the proposal, wrangling an early draft, or polishing a manuscript.” I’m also here for shorter writing sprints, including personal essays and reported features.

My packages include:

  • Monthly coaching

  • Support calls

  • Full and partial manuscript review

  • Book proposal feedback

  • A la carte developmental editing and consulting

If you’re interested in learning more, email me at tracyquen [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject line “Writing client.”


“I came to Tracy at a particularly difficult and vulnerable point in my memoir's development. After years of circling the same themes and writing draft after draft, I still couldn't grasp the core question and promise of the book. Tracy changed that.

She's an exceptional listener, collaborator, strategist, and guide, and having worked with several book coaches and editors over the years, I can say she brings a rare combination of intuition, acuity, and genuine investment.

Within weeks, I was unstuck; I'd uncovered the insight my book had been missing and was moving again. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
