Overview
I have more than a decade’s experience coaching and editing for writers who’ve gone on to achieve their writing goals by landing agents, 6 figure book deals, or creating a successful independent publishing career. Beginners and seasoned writers are both welcome! I never provide cookie cutter solutions, as my goal is to give you the skills and clarity to write the book only you can write, in a way that your readers will love. I deliver feedback in my incredibly positive and always supportive voice, while not shying away from giving honest advice. You will come away from working with me with a step-by-step plan to get your writing ready for prime time.
I work with hundreds of writers each year in my 1:1 editing and coaching practice, and track evolving publisher and reader trends and expectations closely. I love sharing everything I learn with the writers I work with.
Not sure if you need help? Know that small tweaks can make a HUGE difference to your reader’s experience. I am here to help you reach your writing goals.
