Publishing Consultant for Long-Form Investigative Personal Story

I am seeking an experienced publishing consultant or journalism professional to help position a long-form narrative story for potential publication in a magazine or digital outlet.

The story is a real-life narrative involving:

• interstate custody litigation

• pro se legal representation in a complex divorce case

• investigation into financial disclosures and records

• personal recovery following a mental health crisis and addiction treatment

• a broader narrative about navigating the legal system without counsel

The manuscript combines personal narrative, investigative elements, and court documentation.

I am looking for someone who can provide guidance on:

• identifying the strongest publication angle

• evaluating which outlets may be a good fit

• refining the story’s positioning for editors

• advice on pitching the story to magazines or long-form journalism outlets

• general publishing strategy (article vs. book vs. serialized narrative)

This role is consultative and strategic, not traditional PR. I am looking for someone with real experience in journalism, magazine publishing, or narrative nonfiction.

Ideal candidates may have experience with:

• long-form journalism or narrative nonfiction

• working with editors at major publications

• advising writers on pitching stories

• investigative or legal-related storytelling

Please include:

• relevant background or publications you’ve worked with

• examples of projects you’ve advised on

• your approach to evaluating and positioning stories

Confidentiality will be required before sharing the full manuscript.

This may start as a short consulting engagement but could expand depending on fit.
