The Full Story About

BOOK COACHING & CREATIVE WRITING

I am taking on a limited number of students this year. If you have a novel in you and you need help getting it on the page, I'm here to help you.

Mission

I HELP WITH MANUSCRIPTS.

Whether you’re stuck on the first draft, ready for revisions, or not sure why your manuscript isn’t garnering attention, I’ll help get you back on track.

And if you’re not even sure where to start your story?

I can help you there, too.

That’s what I do. I help with your story. Middle-grade, young-adult, or adult fiction of any genre, or memoir, I’m here for you.

See a list of services below.
