I can help you find your words.

I offer creative coaching and developmental editing for creative, academic, and professional work.

My work is highly process-based and flexible to meet the unique needs of each writer.

I believe that every writer has a deep quiet voice that they can learn to hear. My work with you is to help you access that voice.

  • Creative Coaching

    I work with nonfiction writers at all career stages.

    Creative coaching is equal parts writing therapy and performance coaching for creatives.

    My pedagogy is integrative, and my role is to help you, the writer, find your own voice and the resources to inform it. You provide me with your goals and a sample of your work, and I provide you with resources, exercises, prompts, workflow, and accountability structures to help you get where you want to go.

    Coaching takes place on Zoom. I charge $180 for an initial 60 minute session and $150 for followup sessions, which are 45 minutes.

    Please use my scheduling form at the bottom of this page to book. You may also feel free to email me with questions. If you desire a more granular focus on your draft(s), I can bundle coaching and editing services for you—just ask.

  • Developmental Editing

    I work on all kinds of nonfiction projects, from academic theses and reported work to personal essays.

    My role is to work with you, the writer, to shape, structure, and polish your words and thoughts. You provide me with a manuscript, and I provide you with line edits and a comprehensive edit letter.

    Developmental editing is billed by the page at $25 per manuscript page (i.e. 250 words) with a $100 minimum, or by the project at an agreed upon flat rate.

    I’ll need to see a sample of your project before agreeing to take it on. Please email me with any questions or to propose a project. If you desire a more collaborative process, I can bundle coaching and editing services for you—just ask.
