I help speculative fiction writers bring ambitious stories to life
How We Work Together
As an Author Accelerator–certified coach, I use the Blueprint for a Book method to give writers a clear, proven framework for mapping ideas, structure, and character arcs. This process helps you move from overwhelm to clarity, strengthen your draft, and bring your vision to life.
Here's what I believe
-
Big stories need big support.
-
Vision and structure go hand in hand.
-
Writing doesn’t have to be solitary.
-
Stories are transformational.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
What is a book coach?
A book coach is like a partner in your writing process. Instead of working alone, you get feedback, structure, and accountability as you plan, draft, or revise your novel.
How is coaching different from editing?
Editing focuses on the manuscript, giving feedback on what’s already on the page. Coaching focuses on the writer, offering support, accountability, and strategy as you write or revise. I look at your pages too, but always to guide you through the process so you can keep moving forward with clarity and confidence.
​
Do I need a finished draft to work with you?
Not at all. I meet writers where they are — whether you’re just starting with an idea, working through a messy draft, or tackling revisions.
​
What genres do you work with?
I specialize in speculative fiction — especially writers who blend genres like fantasy, romantasy, gothic, magical realism, and dystopian.
What if I’m not ready for a long-term coaching package?
You can start small with my First Chapter Deep Dive, a focused critique of your opening pages. It’s a low-cost way to get actionable feedback and see how coaching support might help you.
