writing + publishing coaching
You want to write a book because you have something important to share with the world. You’re not sure exactly where to start, or maybe you’ve tentatively begun. Perhaps you have a body of writing or even a complete manuscript, ready for what’s next. But… what is next? Maybe you’ve started or are somewhere along in the process, and you realize how lonely and draining it can get. From generating and developing drafts, to working with an editor and embracing the revision process, to choosing a publishing (and marketing) path that’s right for you. Wherever you are in your book writing journey, let’s begin.

craft your best bio
Great bios offer captivating and concise snapshots of who you are. But writing about yourself is hard. Throw in the AI of it all, and it’s easy to wind up with a bio that sounds jargony, overdone, and…not like you. Let’s change that together in a one-on-one coaching session offering:
Step-by-step guidance for crafting a powerful, human-sounding bio.
Inspiration for creatively weaving together even the most widely-ranging skillset.
Real-time feedback for polishing your bio.

Just getting started is one of the most overwhelming and lonely barriers to writing. But with a bit of structure and support, developing a new or early book / writing idea can become the gateway to a more expansive writing journey. Let’s work together in a one-on-one coaching session offering:
Creative space for deepening your connection to and confidence in your ideas.
Techniques for identifying the ideal audience for your writing project.
Structured guidance for developing a working thesis.
A framework for crafting a working outline.
