I work with a small and select group of writers to help writers move further along a writing journey and toward publication goals.

My approach is personal and tailored to your writing needs and where you are on your writing journey. Writing is hard work. But I'm convinced that means we can all get better at it through hard work. On the "coaching softness scale" (which I just made up), I'm on the tough -- but kind -- side. And I think that's what most writers need.

I use a "care, share, dare" model. That means I come alongside you to care for you as a writer. We discern carefully together where you are, and how you would like to grow. The share part means that I coach you from my own experience, knowledge and training, but I also provide you with tools and resources from other writers and resources that fit your needs. And dare means we set some concrete goals and figure out what healthy risk taking in writing looks like for you. It all does take a bit of daring...

Coaching with me usually looks like twice-monthly meetings and some in-between encouraging and contact when you need it.
