As a book coach, I meet you where you are. I’m like your sherpa, I show you the path and go on the trip with you. The mountain is still yours to climb, but I’m there by your side while you’re writing the book (or even before you start.) My role is helping you shape and finish the manuscript. As your ally, I guide you through the process of becoming an author.
Personalized book coaching to help you find your voice and
finish your memoir or autofiction novel
Helping writers turn lived experience into story.
No matter where you are on journey up the mountain, my job is to support you getting to the top, where editors and publishers are waiting to bring your message to the world.

As a book coach I’m part mentor, part project-manager, part accountability-partner. Here’s what you can expect from me:
Help deciding if it’s memoir or fiction or somewhere in between
Help developing your idea, outline, and structure
Big-picture feedback as you write your book
Keep you accountable to deadlines and goals
Teach story craft along the way
Offer motivation and problem-solving when you get stuck, and check-ins between sessions
