Authors know how frustrating writing can be. Getting quality feedback isn’t easy and finding a good editor can be challenging. With a book coach, you get an editor, a mentor, an independent expert and someone who will not care only about your story but will also help you improve your writing. I’m currently taking on new clients and offering a 50% discount on all my services until the end of January 2025.

As an award-winning author and Author Accelerator certified Book Coach for Fiction, I can support you in writing the best story you possibly can, while maintaining your story’s integrity and purpose. I’ll give praise when praise is due and challenge you to get out of your comfort zone if it serves the story.
