More than words…it’s telling your story.
WRITING & EDITING SERVICES FOR LIFE’S MILESTONES
Turn Your Special Moments into Lasting Memories
Rosalie Catalano
WRITER
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Rosalie, a writer who believes every story deserves to be told with heart. I help people capture the moments that matter most — whether it’s a memoir you’ve been meaning to begin, a milestone you want to celebrate, or a remembrance you want to preserve with care. Along with personal projects, I also craft clear, engaging writing for small businesses, creatives, and anyone who wants their words to truly connect. My work is collaborative (with YOU) and centered on helping you express what feels hard to say but too important to leave unsaid. Together — through guided questioning — we’ll shape your story into something meaningful, memorable, and beautifully you.

Why "Your Write Brain"?
Because to write effectively we must use both sides of our brain – the left side for logical flow and the right side for creative expression.
My Process
A simple, collaborative journey from your ideas
to a beautiful written story
Guided Conversation
We explore the story you wish to capture. You may respond to questions in writing or during an in-person or virtual interview to help you recount details and highlights you wish to include in your story.
Deeper Discovery
I begin to shape the story while confirming your memories and meaning and uncover any additions or changes along the way.
Drafting & Shaping
We review a draft and ensure that your story and your authentic voice have been captured.
Finalizing Your Keepsake
Upon your approval of clarity, tone, and emotional accuracy, we finalize your project with a crafted finished product—be it a framed story and photo, a printed memory book with photos, etc. You decide.
Testimonials
Love Stories
Rosalie wrote our love story for our 50th wedding anniversary. When we read the story that she wove from what we thought were silly or insignificant answers to her questionnaire, we were happily surprised. She captured both our happy and tragic memories in a way that touched our hearts. The special ending referenced a refrain from our favorite slow-dance song that she uncovered through her questions and it absolutely delighted us. We will cherish our love story for the rest of our lives. It is displayed in a special place in our home.

Remembrances
Having experienced the loss of loved ones through death, I vowed to spare my loved ones from dealing with the heart-wrenching details when my time comes. So, I have purchased my funeral plan, and had the good fortune to work with Rosalie to help me write both my memorial remembrance and abridged obituary. Through her skilled listening ear and questions, Rosalie captured the essence of my life’s journey with charm and eloquence. She has a beautiful gift – she knows the right word for the right moment!
