I can't wait to hear your story!
In this 30 minute Zoom conversation we'll get to know each other a bit.
We'll talk about your writing dreams and the best ways I can support them.
I love finding out what you are doing and learning how I can best help you.
Get personalized writing guidance when we work together in these hour long private coaching sessions. You'll receive detailed feedback about your writing project including solutions to whatever challenges or roadblocks you are facing at the time. We’ll determine effective strategies to strengthen your work, refine your style, and achieve your goals.
These sessions are specifically customized to your needs. We’ll cover whatever aspect of the writing process is most valuable to you at the time: everything from structure, character development, to spot edits. We can even talk about the different avenues available for publishing and sharing your work when you get to that point.
Two days before each session you’ll send me your work with a note about what you want us to discuss. I’ll read it before we meet and be all ready to help you. At the end of each session you’ll have a clear understanding of the next steps to take moving forward.
Sessions can be booked at your convenience - you can take as long as you need between meetings. Options include meeting both in-person or online.
These six week online writing workshops (90 minutes per session) are a great option for writers looking to work in a collaborative environment, get real time feedback, and take their writing to the next level. Each workshop is designed to address a specific aspect of the writing process - from igniting your creativity and learning methods for generating ideas, to understanding the hero’s journey archetypes so you can strengthen your plot structure and characters, to an in-depth look at the various elements that comprise every story.
Doors open to these workshops periodically throughout the year and fill up quickly. Subscribe to my newsletter to be the first to know about signups.
