I can answer your questions about the writing life and the publishing business. As your writing coach, I work with you as you learn how to write with regularity and with a skill that results in a story powerfully told. As a consultant, I help you choose the best options

You have completed a full or partial draft of your book and need a professional second opinion. I closely read what you have written and assess the quality of the writing, the effectiveness of the narrative, where the story holds the reader, and where it can be reimagined or rewritten.

I create a nurturing space and encourage brave, fearless writing by helping writers work through and work with the fear and anxiety that is a natural part of the creative writing process. I offer classes for beginners and advanced writers as well as seminars on the business of writing.
