Coaching for Writers
Hi! I noticed that this is your first visit to my site so I wanted to say Welcome! You may want to grab my RSS feed or you can also subscribe and receive updates by email. And I love comments, so feel free to tell me what you think! Thanks for visiting!
Writing can be a lonely and frustrating business. Finding the time to pursue your creativity, breaking through that seemingly endless wall of rejection, and staying focused on a particular project are just some of the issues that plague writers daily. Sometimes you need your own “Mickey” to push you to the best you can be. Working with a successful novelist who is also trained as a coach can move your writing to that next level and shatter some of the roadblocks currently standing in your way.
Just as in sports, a writing coach can help you bring your best “game” to the table each and every time you sit down to write.
If you want to:
- explore what you can achieve with your writing
- bring more focus and motivation to your current project
- discover strategies to remove obstacles and barriers impeding your writing progress
- learn how to deal with rejection
- develop a specific project or work on a specific skill set
- take your already successful writing career to a new level
- balance writing with the rest of your life
..then working with a writing coach might be for you.
How Coaching Works
We’ll meet via telephone on a regular schedule, either 2, 3 or 4 times per month. During our calls we will focus on your progress, identify any roadblocks or challenges you may be facing, and develop a plan to keep you moving ahead. Your goals are my priority and I’ll share my experience, advice, and tools to help you get to where you want to be. Before the end of the call we’ll agree on what steps you are to take between sessions to move you forward toward your goal.

*** NEW - PICK MY BRAIN SERVICE! ***
The publishing world can be a strange and mysterious place. If you’re anything like I was starting out, you probably have a hundred different questions you’d love to ask someone who’s been there and done that already. My new “Pick My Brain” service allows you to do just that!
I’m available for a 40 minute call at a rate of $55.00 to answer any and all questions you have about writing or publishing to the best of my ability. Want to know what goes in a typical book proposal? How about what happens at an editorial meeting? Maybe you’re trying to determine the best way to gain representation through a literary agent or if you even need one? I’ll help you navigate the confusing world of publishing and get you started down the right road to success.
