Coaching for Writers and Creatives
You know what you want to write. You haven't failed. You just haven't figured out how you get to where you want to go.
Maybe you're 30,000 words into a project that's lost its shape. Maybe you've been "almost done" for a year. Maybe you've shelved something for so long you think of it more as a "skeleton in the closet" than a viable path forward. Maybe you sit down to write and everything that comes out feels lame, but you can't name why. Maybe it's more existential, and you wonder what the point is, especially in a world of AI, and where you have to promote your work after you've done what used to be considered the hard part: writing it.
You don't need more craft advice. You need someone who understands what's going on internally — and who's been there. Someone who also happens to be a professionally certified coach.
A small, but meaningful commitment
A six-session, one-on-one coaching engagement designed for writers who are stuck in the middle of a creative project. Meet every two weeks over three months. This isn't open-ended therapy and it isn't a critique engagement. It's a focused partnership with a clear goal: figure out exactly where your project is stuck and build a path forward.
How it works
We start with where you're at, and that's enough. If you're open to using a diagnostic tool, my preference is the Enneagram. Your type shapes which creative decisions feel safe and which ones feel terrifying. It reveals the patterns that keep you circling, often without knowing it. A Type 1 gets stuck differently than a Type 7. A Type 4 abandons projects for different reasons than a Type 3. Through my work with Big Self School, I have access to a state-of-the-art test you can take with EMMA. If you do decide you'd like to use the Enneagram and take the test, I also offer a free follow up after the test to make sure you're typed "on the nose."
Once we see the pattern, we build a decision map for your project — the specific choices you've been avoiding, the structural problems hiding underneath the emotional ones, and a realistic plan to move through them.
What you get
- Six 55-minute coaching sessions over three months
- An Enneagram-based creative profile identifying your specific stuck patterns
- A decision map for your project — where it is, what's blocking it, and what comes next
- Accountability from someone who has edited and published 50+ books and knows what it takes to finish.
Who this is for
Writers with a project in progress — a novel, a memoir, a collection, a nonfiction book. You've started. You believe in it. But something has stalled and you can't push through on willpower alone.
This is not for beginners looking for a writing class. This is for writers who already know how to write but need to get out of their own way. I also work with stuck creatives who'd like to design a way out of the burnout they feel and into a higher level expression of what feels more meaningful.
Investment
Make the commitment to yourself.
We can also arrange for a two-part payment invoiced for $475 up front and $475 at the halfway point.
Not ready for coaching? Here's what else I offer.
Manuscript Assessment — $450 Send me your manuscript (up to 100,000 words). I read the whole thing. You get a written diagnostic: what's working, what isn't, where the structure breaks down, and what I'd do next if it were mine. Not line editing — big-picture architecture. Delivered within two weeks. Send the manuscript to my email and we'll go from there.
Project Intensive — $250 One 90-minute session. Bring your specific problem — a plot that's collapsed, a character you can't crack, a structure decision you've been circling for months. We work through it live and you walk away with a plan. This is not therapy. This is triage.
Book Building Consultation — $150/hour You want to know HOW — how to format a book in Affinity, how to set up for print-on-demand, how to stop paying Adobe every month and own your tools. Practical, tactical, screen-share sessions for writers who want to publish independently and professionally.
