BECOME CONFIDENT IN YOUR IDEAS, SO YOU CAN WRITE ANYTHING, ANYTIME
WHERE ARE YOU IN THE WRITING PROCESS?
Ready to write your book
You've been harboring an idea for a long time and are finally ready to put it into words. You want to write a book but have no idea how to organize your ideas and get started.
Time to publish
You have written your book and are ready to get it into the world. You want to find a publisher and need to write a winning book proposal.
Want to get your ideas into the world right away
You're a successful professional and want to use writing (not AI) to get the word out about your work. You know what to say but don't know how to organize all your ideas and get them into the world.
You've come to the right place. I can help you get started writing.
I love writing and I love helping. I'm a certified coach with 25 years' experience helping people just like you bring creative dreams to life.
With me as your trusted guide, we’ll:
- Pinpoint what’s really stopping you (hint: it's almost never what you think it is)
- Work through your creative block once and for all
- Identify your goals and design a plan to get you there.
You will love having the support and guidance that's been missing your whole life. You will finally have someone on your team who has 'been there, done that.'
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT AS YOUR COACH
Clients come to me because they want to write a book or articles for their work. They’re smart, soulful, and bursting with inspiration. They have lots of ideas and papers everywhere.
They are ready to put their ideas into shape, but they don’t know how to get organized and get started. I get it!
There are two major aspects of writing that I help people with, and they may surprise you.
Left-brain systems understanding
One of the main skills I bring to my coaching clients is structure. Helping people organize ideas into smart, soulful books is my genius zone.
Clients often say I have a laser-sharp focus and ‘hit the nail on the head’. I see what they don’t. This comes out when we’re brainstorming and I’m helping a client synthesize their many ideas into a coherent whole.
It’s so fun to help them bring their ideas into shape. The clarity we generate allows them to get their ideas down much more quickly. But that’s only half of the work.
Right-brain
empathy
Writing is one of the most vulnerable and scary things we can do. We’re called to be honest, to be generous, and to bring language to what we care deeply about.
But three main monsters stand at the gate, preventing us from entering our genius zone of writing:
- fear of not having something to say
- fear of merely repeating what is already out there and
- fear of not being a good enough writer.
No one is immune to insecurity about writing - not even my smart, accomplished, and soulful clients.
Whole-person commitment to your writing joy
I'm a trained and certified coach through Co-Active Coaching. The skills I have learned and honed over decades make it easier for me to overcome the real and perceived obstacles that get in the way of creating the life we want.
I invest in my own success as a writer, speaker, and coach. I pass all my learning on to you, when it’s relevant to your goals.
I’ve spent hundreds of hours in conversation with my clients, and I know the patterns and problems that every single creative person faces. I help diffuse the bombs waiting in the creative process.
My coaching skills allow me to help you customize a writing life that empowers you to make your writing dreams a reality.
I’ve published seven e-books, two blogs, and a historical novel. My book, The Busy Woman's Guide to Writing a World-Changing Book received a starred review from the esteemed publication, Publisher's Weekly. I know the writing process, both fiction and non-fiction, from the inside out.
I go the extra mile to honor you, treat your writer, and keep you on track to get where you want to go.
My clients come from all over the world. Where are you coming from and where are you ready to go?
Options for coaching
Get Unstuck
For creatives of any medium.
You've had some creative success, but now you're more in creative 'suck' zone.
This painful place feels like you're missing out on your potential. The drive to create is still there, but it's paved over by doubt, confusion and indecision.
Guess what? You're not alone. This is quite common. Feeling stuck may feel wrong, but it doesn't mean anything is wrong with you.
I can help you reconnect with why you create, clarify what you want to create, and make space in your life to be the creative dynamo you know you are.
In this two-month intensive, you will come to know, love, and trust your creative process.
With me as your coach, you will finally be able to create on your own terms. I'll help you:
