Hi, I'm Leslie!
Meet Your Guide
I believe every story deserves to be told (and that writing is one of the most powerful ways to claim your voice!) I created Idea to Ink to help aspiring authors move from intention to action with clarity, confidence, and support.
As an instructional designer, educator, and creative strategist, I blend structure with soul. My work is rooted in learning science, shaped by a love of storytelling, and driven by a deep commitment to helping others (especially women) write with purpose and momentum.
Whether you’re just starting out or deep in the drafting trenches, you’re welcome here.
