One-on-One Coaching



If you are working on a book, essay, or short story, assistance and support from a knowledgeable source is a gift. A book coach can make writing smoother, more organized, and more efficient. But hiring a writer to work with is a very personal decision - the key is finding someone you can communicate with easily and comfortably, someone who asks the right questions and then really listens.

My style is very personal, not simply "a critique partner." I listen to your ideas and ask questions that hopefully extend your story/essay/book -- we work together on all writing skills, including making sure there is tension, depth, intrigue, heart.

While I can't promise you a successful contract, I can provide you the practical support you will need as you navigate your emotions and intellect from "birthing your baby" to keeping on a writing schedule to bring your story to completion.

I charge $90 per hour; references available on request.
