Book + Story Coaching
Depending on the stage of your manuscript, we’ll cover:
Ways to improve your writing on a sentence or line level
What to focus on when revising this draft
Plot and character development – especially useful if you’re working on a longer project
Next steps for the project including:
How to finish this draft
Receiving and incorporating feedback for future drafts
Timelines and chapter goals for novels
How to know when a project is done
Where to submit your writing and how to approach the query process for literary agents
My approach draws from my years as a freelance editor, decades as a writer, and my mindfulness meditation studies. A creative project is like any new practice — it takes dedication, discipline, and positive reinforcement. Support doesn’t end with me. I’m eager to introduce anyone I’m advising to my literary contacts, and I encourage them to form their own writing groups and engage with the writing community.
Note, Spring 2025: I currently have one opening for book or story coaching clients. Please reach out to ensure we’re a good fit and there’s space in my schedule.
