Francie is a book editor specializing in commissioned personal biography and history, with skills that have also brought her clients in education, business, science, and the arts. After a long career in nonprofit institutional communications, she created a company called HistoryKeep that produces bespoke books for individuals wishing to leave a written legacy for their families—books filled with memories, accomplishments, photos, and character-shaping stories. She also spends considerable time working earnestly to improve the writing skills of wealth managers, researchers, artisans, and educators through developmental and copy editing, along with serious (but enlightened and friendly) coaching. Clients find her easy to work with, flexible, tireless, and interested in a broad array of topics.
