book coaching
I am an Author Accelerator-certified book coach. My coaching practice blends my in-depth training in how to coach fiction and memoir with my twenty-five years of experience writing and coaching award-winning, research-intensive non-fiction projects. After more than two decades of coaching students and colleagues in academic contexts, I came to book coaching as a way to combine my mentoring talents with my love of fiction and narrative non-fiction.
I love working with writers! Whether you come to me with a full draft already in hand, just the inkling of an idea, or something in between, here's what you can expect from our work together:
Although I welcome clients with backgrounds in academic writing (you are my people!), please note that I do not offer coaching on traditional scholarly writing projects such as journal articles, dissertations, or university press books. But if you are a current or former academic who dreams of writing that novel, memoir, or non-fiction book for a general readership, I'm your gal.
UPDATE 8/9/21: While I am fully booked with ongoing coaching clients through the end of 2021, I may have space for a few partial or full manuscript evaluations; please check with me if you are interested in those. I will have a small number of new openings for ongoing coaching beginning in January 2022. Please feel free to contact me anytime between now and then to set up an initial, free, 30 minute consultation. If after that we decide it makes sense to work together on an ongoing basis, we can explore an early 2022 start date.

- personalized coaching - I work with you to assess where you are and make a plan for where you should go next
- detailed feedback that not only highlights what isn't working, but gives you concrete ways to fix it
- ongoing, supportive conversations tailored to your evolving needs and goals
- creative, time-tested ideas for helping you build writing processes and practices that work for you
