“If there is a book you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
Writing a book can be a daunting task. Even experienced writers can face doubt, distraction, writers block and countless other struggles. Sometimes writers simply need a second pair of eyes to provide clear direction and honest feedback on structure, plot, prose and characters. Other times, writers find themselves bogged down by the day to day effort of actualizing their ideas into writing. Hiring a writing coach can help reset your writing habit, provide critical feedback on structure, prose and plot and help you reach a finished book you are proud to publish!
Open up any modern book and you will find a lengthy acknowledgement section, sometimes multiple pages in length, where the writer profusely thanks all of the people that contributed, guided, nudged and critiqued the writer along the way to a finished product. Most published authors have entire teams of people that help with research, editing, critiquing and feedback. Few people write in complete isolation, and when they do, they often find that the finished book isn’t what people want to read.
Working with a one on one writing coach creates a collaborative working relationship that provides accountability and structure to what can feel like a very lonely and nebulous endeavor. With a writing coach, writing can be fun, engaging and successful!

The Philosophy
I believe in the importance of the very personal relationship between writing coach and author. The author’s voice and vision is an integral part of the writing process. That is why I customize my services to the needs of each author I work with. My job is to facilitate your writing needs and bring you success in the publishing world. To that end, my services are always confidential and the author retains all rights to their story. My passion is writing, and I want to share that passion to fulfill the needs of your project.
Your writing coach should:
Respect you and your ideas
Work closely with you to determine your unique needs
Have your best interest at heart
Build an accountability plan
Be trustworthy and professional
Understand best practices for publishing
The Process
Working with me as a one on one writing coach is custom built to meet your individual needs. I work with writers from the very beginning of the brainstorming process all the way through to publishing. We will build a coaching plan to meet you wherever you are in the writing process with whatever writing help you most need.
The process can include:
Feedback and critique to writing structure, plot, prose, characters and ideas
Help developing time management and writing habits
Brainstorming collaboration
Organizational developments
Teaching you the best writing techniques
