I’m a writer who edits. Or maybe an editor who writes? (I’m never sure which comes first.)
Anyhow, the point is this: I help writers grow the confidence to put their words out into the world.
There are three ways I do this:
Action Words Newsletter
My free weekly newsletter—sent out every Wednesday—teaches you tangible ways to develop your writing craft.
The writing confidence you’re looking for won’t just magically arrive one day. It’s built by practicing your craft.
In these weekly emails, I explore the craft of writing and break down others’ sentences so you can see for yourself what makes good writing work.
Workbooks for Writers
My practical—and fun—workbooks help you tackle the daunting questions that get in the way of your writing.
When we come face to face with a gnarly writing obstacle, our first instinct is to wait it out. That’s usually the worst thing we could do. What we need instead is to write our way through.
These workbooks are a safe space for you to do just that. With a mix of encouraging reflections and gently provocative writing prompts, they’ll help you rediscover your love of writing and move you writing project forward.
Editing & Coaching Services
My 1:1 editing and coaching services help you transform your rough draft into a polished manuscript.
Whether you’re dreaming up a futuristic thriller, pouring out your heart in a tender memoir, or compiling the practical wisdom accumulated over years of professional experience, you’re really just trying to do one thing: tell a story that captivates and moves your readers.
I work with writers who know they have a good idea and aren’t sure how to turn that into a great book. Together, we turn their work in progress into a compelling, unputdownable read.
