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 published author who spent five years mentoring writers, helping them take ideas, drafts, and unfinished manuscripts and turning them into real, working stories.
I’ve seen:
- Pacing issues kill a great concept
- Character problems that make readers disconnect
- Quiet plot holes that unravel an entire book
*Using my curriculum, From Spine to Submission™, you’ll learn how your manuscript is a body of work!*
What we’ll do together:
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
Whether you’re brainstorming an idea, stuck in the middle or revising for the tenth time, I help you get unstuck and moving again.
How I can help:
📇 Accountability Partner:
An accountability partnership that helps you design a writing routine, establishing substantial progress. Designed for serious writers who are ready to finish that book you’ve been dreaming of writing. This service provides the structure and support you need.
📇 Manuscript Momentum:
- Strengthen your story
- Get you moving again
- Fix structural issues
📇 1st Ten Pages:
- Since the first ten pages are what most agents request, I’ll read through yours, providing constructive feedback of what’s working and what needs tweaking. Let’s face it––you get one shot with an agent or publisher. Make sure you’re first ten pages shine!
📇 Submission Prep:
Jumping into the querying trenches is terrifying. Don’t go it alone. I’ll provide you with:
⭐️ A strong, ready-to-go query letter
⭐️ Agent/independent press list (up to 5 in all)
⭐️ A strategy call to prep for submission
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 because suspense belongs in your story, not your journey.
Are you ready?
