Write a story that moves people.

Are you a nice human who dreams of writing and publishing stories that enact wider change? I’m a nice human who loves supporting people and nonprofits on that storytelling journey.

I give each client my all. I know we’re really grooving when each person feels motivated and nourished by a clear vision, ample feedback, and a shared belief that the stories we tell–and the stories we amplify–shape the world.

1. The Editor’s Garden: A 6-week editing journey with a dedicated cohort

Edit with confidence and grow your writing community–at the same time.

Everyone has a different editing style that works for them. Dedicate six weeks to discovering and implementing your unique approach, while also connecting with other writers.

Each week, you will:

  1. Learn a new approach (or foundational principle) of editing.

  2. Witness a 20-minute “live editing” session led by me.

  3. Update the group on your latest draft and ask each other for insight.

  4. Commit to turning in a draft for at least one external deadline.

  5. Gain fresh perspectives and energy.

Note: I am capping this experience at six people so that each writer gets abundant care, feedback, and space to share.

You’ll benefit from:

  • Six, 90-minute group sessions to air questions, watch me edit “live,” and devote time each week to your story.

  • Two, external deadlines (in the middle at the end) to increase motivation and implement feedback.

  • Detailed suggestions on what to prioritize, including:

    • Weekly group feedback (if desired) during class and Q&A time.

    • In-depth feedback for up to 3,000 words on one of your writing pieces. I will review elements like plot, character development, stakes, and pacing.*

  • A deeper understanding of your unique skills and struggles as a lifelong learner of the craft.

  • Improved confidence and tools for how to move forward with your draft.
