If you have a manuscript that needs an edit, a writing project that’s stuck, or a query/submission package that needs some eyes on it, let’s chat. I’m going to be raising my coaching rates for 2024, so book now!

Also coming up in 2024 (in addition to those rates, hey-oh), I’m offering Solving the Second Draft, an intensive developed for Writing Co-Lab, focused on getting writers all the way from work-in-progress to finished draft. If you have a draft you’re stuck on, or are looking for support and community as you write and revise, please join us.
