Do one of these fit your circumstances?
You may be in one or several of these places:
— Want to start your novel, but not sure where to begin?
— Ready to finish your novel, but not sure how?
— Need help with editing your book?
— Want to publish, but are overwhelmed by your options?
— Need book marketing guidance and aren’t sure how to begin?
If you said YES to any of the above, I may be able to help you.
We’re In This Together
While for most of us writing is a solitary activity, succeeding at it doesn’t have to be.
We’re all in this together. We learn from each other. We support each other and cheer each other.
My mottos are “We’re in this together.”
And “Find the fun to get it done.”
I also believe that if you want “it” (a successful author career, however you define it), you can have it — if you’re willing to do the work, stick with it, and have the support and resources you need.
Persistence is key in this business, as in any.
If you’ve been feeling all alone in your writer’s journey, if you’d like to find ways to make your writing adventure fun so that you can reach the elixir of your success, then come chat with me, and let’s get you started or restarted on your writer’s journey.
HOW A SESSION WORKS
I offer this complimentary Discovery Session, so we can discover together:
- What inspires you?
- What are your writing goals and dreams?
- How do you learn best?
- What’s in your way of not working on your fiction?
- What can we do about it?
- What programs, courses, or other forms of support are right for you?
- And more!
LOGISTICS
We can talk by phone or Zoom.
Or if you’re in Oakland, you can come by my favorite cafe for our chat. Just indicate that when you schedule.
Once you fill out the short questionnaire, you’ll get the link to schedule your session. Once you do that, you’ll get an email confirming your appointment.
Because things come up, if you can’t make your appointment, please give me at least 24 hours notice, or forfeit rescheduling this call. I take my time very seriously — I am a working writer too, as well as a running my own teaching and coaching business — and request that you honor your time as well.
PASSION: WHY I DO WHAT I DO
It is my passion to help novelists.
As a coach and teacher, I help authors get their novels completed, out into the world, and into the hands of their readers.
As a Creativity Coach for Writers, NLP Master Practitioner, and Master Teacher, I’ve been there and know how hard it can be to take your idea and turn it into a real book, that people will actually be interested, and even yearning, to read.
You can read more about my services for writers here.
I walk the talk, as my clients like to say. I’m the author of the 2012 award-winning young adult fantasy novel Henrietta The Dragon Slayer, write fantasy/paranormal romance, and am the author of bestselling nonfiction books for authors and aspiring authors.
You can read more about my resume here and see all my books here.
