In addition to being a book coach, I'm also an author, editor, publisher, teacher. I've had two novels published.
I started Bacon Press Books as a small, independent press to help authors re-issue their already published titles in paperback and eBook. We have also published some original fiction and nonfiction.
After my first novel, Waiting for Next Week, was published by Henry Holt & Co., I began teaching college writing and conducting creative writing workshops at colleges, universities, and writers centers. I've been working with authors for more than 25 years as a developmental editor and a book coach. For the past two years, I have been an advanced certified book coach at Author Accelerator working mostly with novelists and memoirists. I am now starting my own book coaching company. I also have a small press, Bacon Press Books, dedicated to re-issuing books in paperback and digital that have already been published in hardcover. I have had two novels published, one under a pen name; several short stories, and award-winning speeches and articles. Many of the authors I've worked with have gone on to publish their books.
