Writers Coach

I’m a writers accountability coach and buddy, not a writing or book coach

Do you need a buddy to check in with about your current project? Are you stuck and unsure about your next project or how to find the time to write it? Would you like to be held accountable for writing goals? Do you have questions about the writing process or the path to publishing?

I work with fiction writers of all skill levels. My four-week motivational package includes the following:

  • Weekly 30-minute conversations (phone preferred, or Zoom)

  • Email and text support between weekly calls

  • Motivation, encouragement, goal-setting, and accountability 

  • Story, plot, and character discussions

    • I won’t read and critique your writing. Instead, we’ll discuss the details of your WIP- plot, characters, narrative arc, setting, tension and climax, and other elements.

  • Discuss publishing goals: literary journals, self-publishing, small press, finding an agent

  • Discuss future writing projects 

  • How to find paid freelance writing gigs: writing killer pitches, building your portfolio, etc.

Four weeks of individual coaching and conversation $150.
