Are You Looking for a Writing Coach?

When I was finding my own writing path, I didn’t have role models offering validation or permission to tell stories in my own way. Now I can offer you just that. In-depth, one on one collaborative development of your work, I’d like to help you. 

• An organic conversation with your questions and needs comes first.
• Brainstorming together with your goals in mind.
• Practical advice.
• Performance-driven.
• Developmental editorial work on a specific manuscript.
• Craft and technique articles.
• Feedback and critiques on specific projects, letters, pitches, etc.
• Resources/ websites/ information sharing.
• Fee $35-55 p/hr (Via PayPal) with a 2-hour minimum.

In the last few years, I have worked with short story writers, poets, novelists, creative non-fiction/memoirists, and screenwriters, including Helen Armstrong, Jeniah Johnson, Bisi Archuleta, Lori Swartz, Anne Leonard, and Ann Stanley.

Mentorship Program: A more long-term relationship (much like an MFA advisor in low-res programs) 

• Structured with weekly goals and tasks.
• A longer-term relationship for accountability and growth.
• Focused on your self-development as a writer and in life.
• Discuss your personal situation, challenges, and strengths.
• Conversations shaped to your changing needs and goals.
• Sharing my experiences and resources.
• Results are less clear-cut and tend to be more incremental with your confidence in your own writing skills building over time.
• Fees depend on time commitments and your budget. I’ll work with you to make sure you can do this without too many problems.
