Want to write a book?
I can help!
You’ve read the craft books. You’ve revised the same chapters…more than once. You might even have a full draft sitting there. Still, you’re wondering:
- Why isn’t this working?
- Is this actually good?
- Would an agent even read past page one?
This is where most writers get stuck. Not because they aren’t talented, but because they don’t have clear, experienced advice.
You don’t need another writing tip. You need to work one-on-one with a coach to turn your draft into a compelling, agent-ready manuscript.

Why Me?
I’m not just someone who loves books. I’m a two-time, award-winning traditionally published author of A DEADLY GAME and BASKIN’S BAKERY, so I’m not coaching from theory. I’ve sat in the querying trenches, signed with representation, and made the same hard structural calls I’ll help you make in your own manuscript. I know what it takes to get a book from spine to submission, because I’ve done it.
I’ve also spent five years mentoring writers, helping them take ideas, drafts, and unfinished manuscripts and turning them into real, working stories.
Over those years I’ve seen:
- Pacing issues kill a great concept
- Character problems quietly push readers away
- Plot holes unravel an otherwise strong book
*Using my curriculum, From Spine to Submission™, you’ll learn how your manuscript is a body of work!*
This isn’t vague encouragement or “you’ve got this!” energy (although that’s part of it). When you work with me, we focus on:
- What’s not working and why
- How to fix it in your specific story
- How to move forward without second guessing every page
Every writer gets stuck in a different place. Find yours below.
How We Can Work Together:
→ Accountability Partner:
For the writer who has the talent but not the routine. We build a writing schedule that actually holds, with the structure and check-ins serious writers need to finally finish the draft they’ve been dreaming about.
→ Manuscript Momentum:
For the writer stuck in the messy middle. We strengthen your story, fix the structural issues quietly unraveling it, and get you moving again.
→ 1st Ten Pages:
For the writer about to query. Agents request your first ten pages first, and you get one shot. I’ll read yours and tell you exactly what’s working and what needs tweaking, so they shine.
→ Submission Prep:
For the writer ready for the trenches. You’ll walk away with a strong, ready-to-go query letter, a curated agent and independent press list (up to five), and a strategy call to prep you for submission. Don’t go in alone.
My coaching is for those:
→ Writing or revising fiction
→ Serious about improving, not just finishing
→ Ready for the next steps
Writing a novel is hard. Doing it without clear direction? Even harder. You don’t have to do that part alone. You don’t need to keep guessing your way through your manuscript. Let’s figure out what’s working, what’s not, and how to fix it. Spots are limited, so book your call today because suspense belongs in your story, not your journey!
