Where Bold Stories Take Root

A creative studio offering personalized mentorship, developmental editing, and narrative consulting for memoirists, multi-genre writers, and filmmakers.

Our
Studio Ethos

At Woodbine Studio, we believe stories are living structures.

They are shaped by memory, migration, ritual, and resistance.

Our work spans film, editorial, and mentorship, holding space for what’s complex and culturally rooted.

Whether we’re crafting a documentary, guiding a memoir, or partnering with agencies to translate systems into narrative, we approach every collaboration with clarity, care, and an eye toward transformation.

“Wow...just wow... I hardly have the words to express my gratitude for the care with which you read my personal statement, and our collective statement. And, the way you write about both. I hope that some day I can write with as much generosity and love. Thank you for taking the time to think and write so carefully about my/our work.”
