What if your storytelling could feel both joyful and razor sharp?
Hi, I'm Micaela Blei.
I help narrative artists like you find and tell the stories that matter to you, and feel great.
I've developed my approach as a Moth GrandSLAM champion, bestselling audio memoirist, and founder of The Moth's Education Program.
Work with me on your narrative projects, and you'll learn how to create clear, compelling structures that help you get creative, instead of stifling your spark.
Let's work together so you can tell stories that feel like you.

Hi, I'm Micaela Blei.
"I can't recommend Micaela highly enough as a story editor for longform, narrative audio. She's the person you want in the room when you're struggling with a story problem that feels unsolvable. She doesn't just eliminate confusion from your scripts, ask the right reporting questions, and push you to craft a satisfying arc. She's also a phenomenal listener, who leads with compassion and care for the voices at the center of the story."
