My Approach:​

I am a collaborator by nature, which means I aim to support the overall system of any relationship and project I am involved in. Authors write best when they feel relaxed, safe, understood, and inspired, so I approach both you and your work in ways that put you at ease and kindle your creativity.

 

Writing Guidance:

If you're looking for support in writing, editing, and pitching your book, or if you simply want support in maintaining a writing practice, a companion and guide will smooth, ease, and enliven your process. Book writing is a long-term process that requires organization, commitment, encouragement, appropriate containers, and periodic adjustments as your life and creative circumstances shift. 

​

Editing:

My aim is to enhance the clarity, cohesion, and impact of your language, message, and story while staying true to your unique voice. Depending on the nature and needs of your project, I'm happy to adjust the level of input I offer.

 

Details:

The best way to find out if we're a good match is to contact me and/or schedule an initial chat. If we decide to proceed together, we'll then collaborate on a schedule and financial exchange that works for both of us.
