Full-time book editor & coach seeking committed clients who:
- Are writing their first book and struggling with where to start
- Want editorial feedback during the writing process

What to Expect
Please Note: I have limited availability for book coaching clients. Priority will be given to romance, sci-fi/fantasy, and mystery/thriller authors.
What I Don’t Do
Besides not writing your story for you, I do not offer advice concerning marketing, finding and pitching to an agent, or traditional publishing. There are book coaches out there who offer this if that is what you are looking for, but it is not the aspect I have chosen to focus on.
What I Can Do
My goal is to empower my authors to grow in their writing craft, transform their story concept into a compelling novel, and achieve their dream of writing a book. Through our book coaching sessions, I will provide you with professional and thoughtful editorial feedback, accountability for your commitment to writing and completing your novel, offer a sense of camaraderie through encouragement and support, guide you in forming healthy habits conducive to a writer’s lifestyle, and keep you focused on forward movement via regular deadlines.
I can help with:
- Developing a novel blueprint for your concept
- Drafting and refining your work in progress
- Honing the various elements of your writing craft, whether you have a work in progress or not
- Workshopping specific scenes of your work in progress
