They say writing is a lonely endeavor - but it doesn't have to be lonely! As a book coach, I can help you at any stage in your process, whether you have an idea, a few pages or chapters written, a messy draft, or a polished manuscript.

 

Here's how I can help:

  • The heart of your story is inside you, I can help you get it on the page.

  • I'll help transform your ideas into a solid foundation.

  • I'll guide you through the drafting and writing process, teaching you as we work together.

  • I'll keep you accountable with deadlines and assignments so you can finish your first draft.

  • I'll offer feedback on your project all along the way with honesty and compassion.

  • I provide tough love and encouragement, and I'm an expert cheerleader.

  • I understand your passion. My goal is to help you succeed.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Note for Authors Seeking Literary Representation for Adult fiction & nonfiction:

 

As a Literary Associate who represents authors, hiring me for editorial or book coaching services does not indicate or imply that I will represent you. Note that I am unable to represent you if you hire me for book coaching or editorial work.

 

I follow the Canon of Ethics on the Association of American Literary Agents regarding this matter. More information can be found on their Canon of Ethics page.
