Narrative Structure
With nearly a decade of experience as a ghostwriter I've honed my specialty in helping clients organize their thoughts effectively. My expertise has led to collaborations with other ghostwriters seeking assistance in structuring their projects, as well as aspiring writers who need guidance to articulate their ideas. Beyond organization, I offer developmental editing that provides valuable insights into character, voice, themes, and overarching concepts, drawing on my skills in playwriting to enhance every narrative. Let’s bring your story to life together!
“Working with Dara was an integral part of the book’s publishing process. She met us where we were in the writing and editing stages, took the time to understand what we were trying to achieve, and provided structure to an otherwise chaotic process.
Without her support, the final result would not have been possible. She was communicative, efficient, supportive, and skilled at identifying the narrative arc, eliminating redundancies, and distilling the story to its clearest form.
This process allowed us to discover many new aspects of the book and transform it into what it ultimately became. We are truly beyond grateful!"
— Arielle Egozi and Bee Gilmore, authors of Being Bad, Chronicle Books
"Dara is a great resource for writers looking to help organize their ideas, create flow, and think through the strategy of putting a book together. If you are just starting a project or trying to get to the finish line—Dara can help with research or be a sounding board for your ideas. She’s definitely saved my bacon on occasion.”

“Dara Silverman is a bold self-starter, diligent doer, and intelligent problem-solver. She manages to combine her wildly creative artist side with the discipline and skill of an accomplished craftsperson. A delightful human being and a pleasure to work with.”
"I enlisted Dara to help me rewrite a project I wanted to elevate. Dara detailed and outlined exactly what it would take from both of us to reach my goals. She then immersed herself in my project as if it were her own. Her ability to see the big picture and make every small detail connect along the way was brilliant. Working with Dara was one of those life moments where you think, “This was meant to be!”
