For over twenty years, I’ve built a career in writing—publishing across genres, navigating the industry as both a traditionally and independently published author, and continuing to evolve with every book.
Along the way, I’ve taught workshops and classes for writers around the world, earned my MFA in Creative Writing, and worked with undergraduate students as a creative writing instructor. I’ve seen the writing life from every angle: the excitement, the uncertainty, the setbacks—and the breakthroughs.
If you’re on your own writing journey, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I share practical advice, behind-the-scenes insights, and real strategies for building a sustainable writing career.
I also offer one-on-one coaching for writers looking for personalized guidance—see below for details. In addition, I’m available for speaking engagements, workshops, and events, including writers’ groups, libraries, and conferences.
Follow along on social media, where I share tips, encouragement, and a look inside the day-to-day life of a working author.
Small Group Mentorship - 30 Day Book Kickstart!
✨ I’m so excited to finally share this with you! ✨
One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been mentoring writers. Over the years, I’ve coached aspiring authors, taught creative writing, and helped writers take the next step toward their publishing dreams. There is nothing I love more than watching someone go from “I’ve always wanted to write a book…” to “I’m writing my novel.”
That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce my 30-Day Book Kickstart—an intimate small-group mentorship designed to help you stop procrastinating, build momentum, and finally begin the novel you’ve always wanted to write.
Over 30 days, you’ll work alongside a small community of fellow writers while receiving expert instruction, personalized guidance, and direct feedback from me every step of the way.
Inside the mentorship you’ll receive:
✨ Four recorded workshops
✨ Four live group coaching sessions
✨ Four live group writing sprints
✨ Two private one-on-one coaching calls with me
✨ A personalized critique of your first 50 pages
✨ A professional edit of your first 50 pages by my trusted freelance editor
✨ Daily motivation, accountability, and encouragement
Because this is a small-group mentorship, enrollment is intentionally limited to just five writers. My goal is for every participant to receive individualized attention while also benefiting from the encouragement, accountability, and shared experience of writing alongside other novelists.
