You will get a beautiful eulogy or obituary honoring your loved one's life.
Project details
In the blur of grief and funeral preparations, it can be difficult to find the energy to craft a fitting eulogy or obituary for the person we've lost. I can provide you with a custom eulogy or obituary so that you can focus on the many other demands following your loss.
I am a professional writer and editor specializing in memoir and personal narrative; when I write obituaries or eulogies I draw on the skills I use as a memoir writer to create a rich and expressive portrait of your loved one. I begin by conversing with you over the phone to understand your loved one's life. I ask you questions about their personality, passions, and life story. The final eulogy or obituary will include biographical detail as well as your reflections about the impact your loved one had on their family and community.
The process can be as collaborative as needed to create a final draft that best reflects your personality and honors your loved one. I include two revisions in the Standard/Advanced options so that you can give me feedback on what needs to be adjusted.
Thank you for considering me for this special task; I wish you peace and respite during this difficult time.

Experienced Proofreader/Editor Needed for Master's Program Personal Narrative Essay
Sara's comments were exactly what I needed to feel confident about my essay. She was so thorough and clear that I did not need to have multiple back-and-forths with her. It was perfect for my tight deadline. She communicated professionally, timely, and efficiently. It was a pleasure to work with her, and I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs an experienced editor.

What stories do you have to tell?
Who might be waiting to hear them?
I believe that writing is a practice innate to all humans—you don’t need a publication credit to be a writer. But while we can all benefit from journaling and creative writing, it can feel daunting once we’re ready to share our writing with an audience. Good writing requires special attention to craft. My goal is to help you elevate your writing so that it better reflects your voice and communicates your stories.
Here’s what I offer as an editor (though I’m open to working beyond this list):
- Developmental editing, copyediting & proofreading: book manuscripts; admissions/scholarship essays; blog posts; narrative essays; and academic papers.
- Regardless of your project's scope, I will give you feedback on how to improve your writing's structure and style.
- My specialty is creative nonfiction: any writing that may fall under personal narrative, memoir, travel, social sciences, or long-form journalism. I am the published ghostwriter of a two-volume memoir. I also love writing about and studying climate change, geology, astronomy, mental health, and sustainability.
Here’s what I offer as a ghostwriter:
- Eulogies & obituaries: I can help you write a meaningful eulogy or obituary from scratch, or I can help you polish a draft you already started. Either way, I will work closely with you to tell your loved one’s story.
Here’s what you get when we work together:
- An annotated document explaining my edits: I genuinely care about teaching people how to write better so that eventually you won’t need to hire someone like me! I’ll include comments in your document explaining how to improve your grammar, word choice, and punctuation.
- An editorial letter: If your writing needs more substantial revisions than copyediting and proofreading, I’ll include a short letter explaining what you can do to strengthen your arguments, structure, or style.
- A writing coach: For writers who are balking at starting a long-term writing project, I can teach you how to manage your project so that you stay organized and inspired in your writing practice. We can review multiple drafts over a span of months so that you receive critical feedback throughout your writing process, not just on the final draft.
Together we can elevate your next writing project. I look forward to reading your work!
Sincerely,
Sara Alura Rupp
