What I Offer
Whether you’re a seasoned author branching into indie publishing or an aspiring writer choosing your first path forward, I’m here to help you navigate the tools, choices, and rhythms that best fit your journey.
As a hybrid author who has published independently, with a small press, and with Harlequin, I’ve experienced the full range of publishing processes. I’ve managed timelines and submissions, balanced creative and business decisions, and learned how to steady the many moving pieces of a writing life. Indie publishing can feel overwhelming, whether you’ve written fifty books or none, and sometimes walking through the steps with someone who’s been there brings the clarity you need.
Often we don’t need another article or checklist. We need a conversation with someone who has walked the road. That’s what I offer: guidance, not grading — a place to sort through your questions, focus your goals, and choose your next steps with confidence.
I love working with writers who are serious about growing, willing to invest in their craft, and ready to take gentle, actionable steps forward. If you’re looking for steady accountability and practical guidance, no matter your fiction genre, experience, or publishing path, you’ll feel at home here.
How it Works
Start with a Welcome Session.
This is a thirty minute introduction on Google Meet. It is our first step together and a chance to get to know one another. If you have one immediate question or you want help choosing the kind of support you need, this conversation offers clarity without pressure. All coaching and mentoring options begin here. Investment: $39.
When you are ready for deeper guidance, you can book a Single Session.
A Single Session is a sixty minute coaching conversation on Google Meet. Bring two or three key questions about craft, publishing paths, writing rhythms, or career clarity. We will talk through each one and shape practical action steps you can begin right away. Investment: $99.
If you would like sustained support, Bundle Sessions are available.
Bundle Sessions include three sixty minute conversations over six weeks or within three months. This option offers continuity, accountability, and room to explore bigger questions or long-term goals. Investment: $249.
