Some stories are meant for the world.
Some are meant for your family.
Either way, I'll help you get them down — with honesty, craft, and an MFA's worth of obsessive attention to the details that make a story worth reading.

Hi, I'm Victoria Veldhoen.
I'm that person who forgoes the dance floor at your best friend's wedding — trust me, I only know the moves to YMCA — in order to chat up your 81-year-old grandfather about how he got kicked out of the country that one time.
I have an MFA in Creative Nonfiction, and I've been writing my entire life. Nothing brings me more joy than discovering why someone is the way they are, and sharing that knowledge with others in an entertaining, compassionate, and obsessively-detailed book.
