Let's make it happen!
"Creativity is a struggle, achieved laboriously against overwhelming odds." ~ Karen Armstrong
Do you need a mentor? Check all that apply:
-
You've got an idea but have no idea where to start or if it's even any good
-
You're stuck on that blank page not sure where to take the story from here
-
You keep writing but it's not coming out the way you want it to no matter how many times you edit and reedit
-
You're a busy person with a tight schedule and you want to make the most of your time
-
You don't feel like you yet have the skill to make your story the gem it wants to be
-
You want quality help and are hesitant to ask strangers online
If that sounds like you, you probably need a writing mentor.
After 10+ years of writing, editing, critiquing and studying, I have found many of the hottest tips and tricks you need to write well and effectively --- and I don't want you to have to spend 10 years to learn what I know. So let's connect in a free consultation! My services are focused on getting you the most bang for your buck and helping you get the most of your time, your writing and your journey.
One important guarantee: I won't try to sell you on anything. I hate getting pitched to and I'm not going to waste either of our time on things you don't need. I will only recommend what you need to make the biggest difference in your work.

Get Started Marketing Plans
Did I mention I've spent 6 years as a professional marketer?

Script Evaluation
Want to know the strengths and weaknesses of your piece? A quick script evaluation will show you what you're doing great and where you might want to spend more time working. This evaluation can kick start your confidence and start turning your rough stone project into a shining gem. Includes a brief overview of what worked, what was confusing and areas that could use extra improvement.
Cost: $25
Full Critique
Want feedback on line edits, plot, characters, world building, and everything in between? A critique provides three levels of feedback: Line-by-line reader reactions, questions and notes of tricky spots; Chapter overviews of developmental notes and a manuscript evaluation that deep dives into the book as a whole piece. You can expect anywhere from 3-30 pages of intensive feedback on your piece.
Cost: $10 per 2,000 words.
