Work With Me

When you're stuck, story consulting helps you find your stories and share them with confidence and power  -- whether for a book, podcast, or public speaking opportunity.

Wondering whether you should hire an editor? write a book proposal? submit for publication? or even which book to write? Book consulting will help you decide what's next for your project.

A strong book proposal is the secret weapon of every nonfiction author. Not only might a publisher buy your nonfiction book based on proposal alone but, even if you plan to self-publish, it will provide you with a roadmap for getting from idea to final draft.

In addition to coaching you on creating the best proposal possible, with an intensive package, I do the research you need to know who to pitch your proposal to, how to market your book, and who your readers will be.

Coaching sessions are held twice weekly and can be attended on a drop-in basis. During a session, you can ask questions, get editorial feedback, and brainstorm. Or you can spend the hour writing, knowing I'm there to keep you accountable. 

When you've completed your manuscript, a developmental edit identifies big picture issues,  offers suggestions regarding structure, form, and content, and and  assesses your work in relation to industry standards and expectations.
