...With a Story To Share?
I serve the memoir writer whose experience as an outsider impacted their worldview and changed their life story.
​
​You might have tried to share your story at one point, only to have it rejected or misunderstood because it didn't fit with the way life is "supposed" to be.
Or you might be thinking about writing and are overwhelmed by just how many adventures you have had in your one, precious life. How will you ever pare them down so that people hear you?
​
I'm here to help you put structure and connection around your stories so that your writing doesn't feel foreign; it feels like home. ​

What Does a Book Coach Do?
A book coach is your companion and guide as you write. Book coaches help with every step of the writing process: ideation, planning, writing, revising, and pitching.
I focus on ideation through draft revision because that's an especially daunting part of the process. You're taking such a big, bold step when you declare you're writing a book-length work, especially a memoir. And then it hits you that you're writing about real life and real people, and suddenly you are face to face with all of your vulnerabilities and fears. How much better to face those mindset challenges with a coach who has guided other writers through a similar process and is ready to cheer you on!
​
I offer a variety of services to help you clarify an idea, plan, and get those chapters into a file. And if you'd rather get a sense of good fit first, book a free consultation call with me. I look forward to hearing your story.
