Something somewhere sparked an idea for you.
This isn’t the first time you’ve dreamt of being an author.
Maybe it was when you told stories on the playground or with a flashlight during sleepovers.
Maybe it was as a teenager when you felt misunderstood by everyone.
Maybe it was when you were reading a book to a child and thought, “Hey, I could do this.”
Maybe you’ve written a book or two before, but now you need more structure and routine to write this one.
Or maybe the idea of being a writer has been in your head for a long time now–but something has happened in your life to jolt your attention and make you realize it’s now or never.
Because around 81% of adults have said they want to write a book. Do you really think they’re all writing books right now? (Me neither.)
Writing may be a solitary activity, but we both know two heads are better than one.
Let’s work together and help you get closer to your two new favorite words: The End.
When you work with me, you get the benefit of my experience as a kidlit editor, my background in K-12 education, and my overthinking brain that makes connections others don’t—all in a 1:1 setting where we’re focused on your book and how to get it ready for publication.
Need accountability to write and revise? We can do that.
Stuck on a plot point? We can brainstorm ideas.
Rhyme and meter bringing you down? We can figure it out.
Trying to decide between traditional publishing and self-publishing? We can talk about both.
Thinking ahead to illustrators, book design, marketing, or school visits? We can make a plan for that too.
1:1 coaching sessions to help you stay on track as you write and prepare to publish your book.
Each session is customized to your needs and what you want to work on. This can include personalized feedback on illustrations, design, publishing, and marketing to schools.
All calls will be held online. Time slots are in the Central Time Zone (Chicago).

When you’re ready, sign your contract, pay your invoice, and book your first session.
Submit your manuscript and get ready for your first coaching session.
You’re not just part of the 81%. You’re one of the ones who will hold their book in their hands.
You know you’ve been ready to take this step for a while now.
And if not now, when?
Sure, you could go it alone.
But wouldn’t it be helpful to have a deadline each week? To know someone’s waiting on you to actually write the words that have been living in your head? (Raises hand.)
To get feedback on what works and what doesn’t–before you write thousands of words that may need to be significantly revised or trashed?
To have a plan on how to publish your book and get in the hands of all of those kids who are waiting on you to do the thing already?
It’s time to stop saying you want to be an author.
It’s time to be one.
Let’s get started—together.
