Private Coaching
A personalized coaching experience for socially-conscious writers
You don’t just want to write this book, you need to write this book. It’s been poking you in the side like an annoying younger sibling, asking every five minutes, “Is it time yet?”
But writing a novel is hard, especially if you’re neurodivergent, have a disability, hold a marginalized identity, or are exploring questions about the way the world should be (and why it isn’t).
Maybe you’re feeling feeling alone, frustrated, stuck, or overwhelmed.
Maybe that terrible voice in your head is screaming that you should quit before you embarrass yourself.
First of all, that voice is an asshole.
Second, I want to help you get unstuck, find a way forward, and believe in your ability to do this.
I believe in your ability to do this.
Private coaching is just you and me, twice a month, going deep into the nooks and crannies of your novel or memoir.
You have my full attention, you get my written feedback on your work, and we create a writing plan that fits your needs, timeframe, and goals.
One of my favorite things about working with writers is getting to know you—the person behind the book—and in private coaching, we have the luxury of talking through your shitty week, sharing photos of our kids, and digging into why you can’t bring yourself to write about the protagonist’s father.
Private coaching is for you if you want to untangle your story’s knots, desire one-on-one attention, and crave the accountability and support of having someone with you in your story.

Detailed Analysis - My eyes on every part of your novel—outline, worldbuilding, scenes, and synopsis—so you can ensure it’s the best it can be.
Camaraderie - You better believe I’ll know your puppy dog’s name, favorite fandom, and mom’s surgery schedule. I don’t just care about your book, I care about you.
Personalized Plan - Guidance at every step of your writing process to ensure you’re focusing on the right thing at the right time.
A Story Partner - Since I’ll know both you and your book, I can help you brainstorm, problems solve, and make the right choices for the story you want to tell.
