Book Coaching for Women Writers

Editing happens after you have a finished draft. Coaching happens while you’re writing. As your coach, I provide accountability, guidance, and feedback along the way so you don’t get stuck or lose momentum.

I work primarily with women writers at all stages of their writing journey—whether you’re just beginning your first draft, struggling through the messy middle, or polishing a completed manuscript. My specialty is in women’s fiction, romance, and contemporary fiction, but I enjoy working with a wide range of genres. If you’re passionate about your story and committed to growing as a writer, there’s a good chance we’ll be a great fit. If you’re unsure whether your genre aligns with my expertise, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat about your project and see how I can support you.

My background uniquely combines both the craft of writing and the mindset support writers need to succeed. I hold a degree in mental health counseling, which gives me a strong foundation in coaching, accountability, and helping writers work through the doubts and challenges that often come with the creative process. I’m also a published women’s fiction author and the author of Write With Confidence, a mindset guide for writers. In addition, I am a professionally trained developmental editor, which means I have extensive experience with story structure, character development, and the techniques that make a novel truly engaging. Together, these experiences allow me to support writers not just in finishing their drafts, but in becoming stronger, more confident storytellers.

The length of coaching depends on your goals, your manuscript, and how much support you need. Many writers start with a 3-month coaching package, which provides enough time to build momentum, establish a consistent writing routine, and make significant progress on their draft. Others may choose longer-term coaching for 6 months or more, especially if they’re tackling a complex manuscript or want ongoing accountability and guidance through drafting and revision. Ultimately, the duration is flexible and tailored to what will help you finish your novel while growing as a writer.

That’s okay! Every writer’s process is different. Coaching ensures that you keep moving forward, learn tools you can use long-term, and gain the confidence to finish—whether during our time together or after.

Yes! I offer revision coaching for writers who already have a complete manuscript and want guidance to strengthen their story before moving toward publication. This type of coaching usually begins after a manuscript evaluation or developmental edit, allowing us to identify the areas that need the most attention and create a clear plan for revision. If you have a finished draft and want support polishing your story, I encourage you to reach out to discuss your project and learn more about how revision coaching can help you take your manuscript to the next level.

Choosing the right book coach is an important decision, and it’s important that we feel confident about working together. After you reach out, we’ll set up a free intro call where we’ll talk about your writing goals, your manuscript, and your overall writing journey. This call allows you to get a sense of my coaching style and approach, and it gives me a chance to determine if I can provide the support and guidance you need. By the end of our conversation, you’ll have a clear sense of whether we’re a good fit to work together.
