About

I’m Kayla Floyd, a developmental editor and book coach who works with women writing memoir.

I believe deeply in the power of our stories to heal, inspire, and expand ourselves and one another. I am obsessed with the resilience, creativity, and capability of women, and I feel wild satisfaction every time I help another woman bring her wisdom to life on the page.

My background is in story. I earned a degree in film studies from the University of Texas at Austin and have spent years studying narrative structure across film, books, and television. I see life through the lens of catalysts, midpoints, and character arcs.

When I’m not working with clients, you can find me reading a closed-circle thriller with a guinea pig on my lap or working a puzzle with my husband and daughter in my happy home near Houston, Texas.
