Welcome to the Heart of My Writing World
VoiceHeartVision is a space where writers can find guidance, inspiration, and support. For over two decades, I’ve offered writing workshops, coaching, and resources from here. During those years, I’ve had the privilege of helping writers find their voice, shape their stories, and bring their visions to life.
In my twenty years as a writing professional, I directed Central Florida’s Woodstream Writers, mentored writing consultants at Rollins College, taught creative writing at Seminole Community College, and co-authored PLOTTING YOUR NOVEL WITH THE PLOT CLOCK—among many other fulfilling literary adventures! These experiences have shaped the resources you’ll find on these pages.
While I’m no longer taking new clients, this site is my way of continuing to offer what I’ve discovered over the years. It’s a reflection of everything I’ve learned working with writers, everything I’ve experienced with them, and everything I want to share with you.
My wish is that you’ll find inspiration and clarity, here—and most especially the encouragement you need to keep going when the (writing) going gets tough.
