The coach for the book you can’t stop thinking about
Newsrooms taught me how to build a story under a deadline that doesn’t move, no matter what else is happening in your life. Turning that same structure toward fiction is what finally got my own novel finished as a full-time working mom of two, with zero extra hours lying around. Once I saw that the system that worked for me could work for any stalled writer, coaching other novelists became the obvious next chapter.

What if the draft in your drawer isn’t a failure, just unfinished?
Get to know me
You can count on me to…
Tell you the truth, kindly. You’ll always know where your pages stand. I’ll name what’s working and what isn’t, in a way that makes you want to keep writing, not quit.
See the whole story, not just the scene you’re in. While you’re deep in a single scene. I’m tracking the arc, the promises you’ve made to the reader, and the thread you dropped back in chapter nine–the parts that are hardest to catch from inside your own manuscript.
Keep you moving. Kindness without momentum won’t finish a novel. I’ll set the next step, notice when you go quiet, and stretch you just far enough that it feels challenging and possible.
