No Stories = No Connections, Understanding, or Meaning 

A Writing Project 
Doesn't Need to Be Intimidating

Here's How We Do It

#1: A Plot That Engages Readers From Start to Finish

A solid story theme ensures you strike a chord and will linger in the hearts and minds of readers for decades. We'll give your stories power through plots that connect with the audience on both an emotional and intellectual level.

#2: Lay It All Out With An Outline

A detailed outline removes all the guesswork. I didn't invent the method - I've just borrowed it from prolific writer James Patterson, a fellow obsessive outliner. The best part is the stories practically write themselves before I craft the first sentence.

#3: Write 

At this stage, I've gone through all the mundane, step-by-step details of writing: focusing, interviewing, organizing and outlining, crafting a lead. The pressure has built up, and it's time to release some of the creative steam. The elusive sense of "flow" will be at my fingertips as I knock out a solid first draft. I don't let my inner demons get the better of my writing mind because I'm solving simple, finite problems, one step at a time.

#4: Add A Light Polish 

By now, I've written a solid first draft and polished it to what seems 95% perfect. If I've properly prepared, my first drafts are often close to my last ones. I always go through them at least once more, adding a light polish. I then share with you for review and comments. When you ask me to revise something, I focus on making the exact changes you request. My priority is ensuring the story aligns with your vision so it’s ready for print.

Meet the Writer 

---

Hi, I'm Jeremiah Kalb. I'm not from a traditional writing background.

In fact, I was a white-collar professional working in the healthcare industry who wrote on the side. 

Back in 2012, I found myself asking the painful question, “Why did I let this happen?”

My grandfather had fallen victim to the thief of time. Procrastination. He lived a long and eventful life filled with adventures, love, heartbreak, and success. Then he died. My hero. Without his life story written.  

I beat myself up. I’m a writer. I knew better. Why didn’t I guide him? Heck, I should have just written it myself! I know the pains of an untold story.

Several years later, when my father was nearing retirement, driving home from work one day, I told myself this can’t happen to my dad. With a little convincing, I talked him into meeting with me weekly to work on his biography, and now life is all good. I sleep easy, knowing his life story is preserved. 

My passion for storytelling can be traced back to middle school when my English teacher stood in front of the class with my work raised high and announced, “This is excellent writing!” He then proceeded to lecture why.

The piece was a colorful description of a moose trekking through the snow in Yellowstone National Park. I completed the assignment using my grandfather's old typewriter. This was 1991 before computers were mainstream in homes.

Whether as a member of my junior high school newspaper team, stints in corporate storytelling, writing for the No. 1 news website in eastern Idaho, or crafting biographies, I love a good challenge. Writing fits the bill. Something is fulfilling about turning a blank screen into a cohesive, captivating narrative on a deadline. ​

Over the past 15 years, some of my subjects have included homemakers, business leaders, an environmental epidemiologist, a crop duster, a tombstone designer, a 103-year-old great-great grandma, a sushi roller, a Romanian immigrant, doctors, and many more. 

I would be honored to help you with your writing project.
