Hi, I’m Kerri-Ann Sheppard

writer, editor, and story guide.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by stories — especially the quieter ones, the ones that emerge from the margins. Over the years, my passion for writing grew into a deep calling to help others bring their stories to life.
With more than 30 years’ experience in writing and editing, I specialise in developmental editing for memoirs, creative nonfiction, poetry, and journaling-based work. I offer thoughtful, big-picture feedback that helps writers clarify their message, strengthen structure, and refine flow — all while staying true to their voice.
I’ve also spent over a decade managing professional events for mental health practitioners, which has given me insight into the healing power of story and the importance of listening closely.
Whether you’re working on a personal essay or a full-length manuscript, I can help you shape your words into something clear, compelling, and deeply authentic.
Let’s bring your story to the page — together.
