Whether you’re just starting out or wrestling with your fifth draft, a writing coaching session or consultation can get your creative engine humming again. It’s real support for writers, wherever you are on the journey.
Work with Me
Every writer and every project is different. Some writers get the boost they need from a single conversation. Others benefit from a comprehensive manuscript review or ongoing writing coaching support. Whatever your writing goal, I’d love to help you reach it.

First 50-page Review
Best for: making a strong first impression
Your opening pages carry a lot of weight. They introduce your voice, establish expectations, and invite readers into your story. During this review, we’ll focus on your first 50 pages. Our two-hour Zoom conversation will help you identify issues, brainstorm solutions, and target next steps—all meant to position your work for success.

Full Manuscript Review
Best for: big-picture feedback
A manuscript review offers a high-level perspective of your entire manuscript. For fiction and memoir, this reader’s-eye view considers character arc, pacing, and narrative structure. For nonfiction, we’ll focus on scope, organization, and strength of concept. Includes an editorial letter and three-hour Zoom meeting, during which we’ll discuss both the strengths of your current draft and areas that would benefit from development.
Pricing is based on word count
Writing Coaching
Best for: ongoing support, accountability, and editorial guidance
Writing coaching offers you one-on-one support as you work on your writing project. Sessions are tailored to your needs. Week by week, we’ll navigate the many decisions that arise in the writing process. I’ll provide thoughtful developmental feedback, insightful editorial review, and a steady hand when the writing seas get rough. Each session includes a 90-minute Zoom meeting and my advance review of a selection from your work in progress.
Six-Session Coaching Package: $1850
