Steve Hrehovcik

Associate Editor

Steve Hrehovcik’s recent memoir, Rebel Without A Clue /A Way-Off Broadway Memoir, chronicles his dream of pursuing a career in the theater.

Steve enjoys working in wildly divergent genres. His successful writing projects have ranged from editing the memoir of a woman who had to overcome the long-held bias against women in the workplace and educational institutions to a book providing helpful tips and techniques for success in business—and much more. He is currently ghostwriting the memoir of a Haitian-American doctor for the Memoir Network.

“So many people dream of producing a memoir, but they don’t know how to get going.  As an editor and / or coach, I look for ways to create an effective launch and to make a story vivid and meaningful. Often writers do not notice the thread that weaves through their lifestories and so they are unable to organize an effective structure for the manuscript. Writing my own story, Rebel Without A Clue / A Way-Off Broadway Memoir, provided me with a foundation to guide people to write their story with passion and clarity.”Steve Hrehovick

A versatile and accomplished writer, Steve has written more than 750 features for newspapers, magazines and trade publicationsfrom personal profiles, historical accounts and vacation highlights, to art exhibit openings and theater reviews. His writing credits also include movie, stage and television scripts, business reports, advertising and public relations pieces.

Steve Hrehovcik did a great job. He helped me putting humor into the story and that made a great difference in the final product.
