Coaching

I’m a seasoned editor and book coach with over twenty years of experience guiding authors through work on novels and short stories, memoirs, plays, essay and poetry collections and screenplays. I work with new writers and more seasoned pros to meet deadlines, actualize projects, overcome blocks and tackle new forms. My approach is warm, customized and focused on getting the best from creative people at all stages of their adventures with the written word.

I have worked with writers aged 13 to 88 at this point in my career and enjoy it all.

Writers work with me on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis via email and Zoom. Accountability, deadlines, detailed editorial feedback and excellent discussions are part of my process.

Fiction forms: YA, adult literary novels, adult commercial novels, short story, plays, screenplays.

Non-fiction forms: Personal essay, comedy, memoir, personal development, social history.

Please contact me directly using the form below to arrange a chat about your goals, challenges, and the pace of coaching you are looking for. My very reasonable coaching rates are based on the frequency of sessions/deadlines and individual project demands.
