Editing & coaching
The world needs your story.
Do you have an essay, book proposal, manuscript or story idea you need a little help making just right?
You’re in the right place.
At the start of any story — whether an article, essay, or book — an attentive coach or editor can help you shape your emerging ideas into language that sings.
I’ve had countless essays, op-eds, features, interviews, plays, and an award-winning book published, and have taught creatives in one-on-one and workshop settings for 30+ years. I love helping writers and change-makers develop their ideas, improve work practices, and finish every kind of writing project from college application essays to book proposals, nonfiction books, and novels.
