Drawing on years of experience and multiple resources, I offer a tailored approach as a writing coach.  We start by assessing your needs and goals. My intention is to help you become clearer and more effective about what you want to say. I also aim to help you gain skill as a writer and develop your writer’s toolbox.


Ways We Can Work Together

Single, individual coaching session
Get started. Clarify your thinking. Address a specific challenge with your writing.

Multiple, individual coaching sessions
Focus on one piece or work on multiple pieces.

The value of individual coaching

  • focused work based on goals you set
  • guidance and exercises tailored to your needs
  • greater confidentiality
  • flexibility in frequency of meetings: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly
  • flexibility in ways of meeting:  in person, over the phone, or online

Group workshops
