One-on-one WRITING & PUBLISHING Coaching
““You are going to feel like hell if you never write the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves in your heart—your stories, visions, memories, songs: your truth, your version of things, in your voice. That is really all you have to offer us, and it’s why you were born.””
Do you have an idea for a memoir, non-fiction book or another writing project and you’re not sure where to start? Are you looking for clarity on what it is you want to say or how to structure your story? Maybe you need some feedback on your work-in-progress? Or advice on getting published?
I’m here to help.
Writing is a solitary act, even a lonely business. Sometimes we need perspective on our work, a guiding hand, encouraging feedback, a critical eye. As a writing coach, I offer the enthusiasm and expertise that will help you get the words down on the page and your story out into the world.
And as an award-winning editor and journalist who has published dozens of personal essays, author of the 2019 memoir, My Year of Living Spiritually (winner of two Hamilton Literary Awards), and founder of the 6-Minute Memoir storytelling event and online writing workshop series (which has shepherded hundreds of personal essays to the stage and Zoom screen), I am well-versed on what it takes to create a well-crafted memoir piece and I’m happy to work with you to bring your story to fruition.
Get in touch to book a free 30-minute discovery call and let’s see how we can work together to help you accomplish your writing goals.
My writing coaching services are offered via Zoom.
