I currently offer three personal, one-on-one coaching programs to help you start and keep your writing on track. You're serious about your writing and want to take it to the next level. I can help you get there.
Package 1: The Quick Fix
You’re working on your story and maybe you’ve written yourself into a corner or you’re really not sure where to take it. You need an experienced eye to help you get back on track with practical options, guidance on how to keep at it, and validation that you’re writing is worth it.
The Quick Fix is perfect if that’s all you need. It’s a one-time coaching shot to help you get going again.
Cost: $150 for up to two hours of one-on-one coaching.
Package 2: Start The Big Novel (3 month commitment)
You’ve written some short stories and attended writing courses and workshops, and now you really want to get on with writing that novel you’ve got in mind. Maybe you’ve even tried starting a few times only to get bogged down and frustrated.
As with any big project, you need a plan to follow. For example, you wouldn’t build a house without blueprints, right? But it’s amazing how many writers begin a novel with no plan. This 3 month coaching package helps you put together a complete plan, then works with you through developing your plot, characters, and the overall story itself.
Here’s what you’ll accomplish:
Cost:
There’s a $250 fee to get started, then you’ll be charged $375 at the end of each month for 3 months (Total = $1375)
Package 3: Finish The Big Novel (3 month commitment)
You’ve been working on your novel for some time now but it’s just not progressing, and now you may be wondering if you’ve written yourself into a corner. You really don’t want to ditch those thousands of words and all that effort, but you need help getting back on track with confidence.
This 3 month coaching package is for you. After reviewing your work and discussing the project with you, I’ll help you put together a solid writing plan to get your novel up and running again and work with you to make sure your story remains on track right through to completion.

Financial Policies
1. For all my coaching packages, a commitment to the payment process is due before the work begins. You may pay the full fee all at once or break it up as outlined in each package description.
2. Payments are not refundable. Writing well requires a serious commitment and by putting your financial resources toward coaching, you ensure that it remains important to you. So once you begin a coaching package, you are committing to pay for it in full. The only exception is as follows and applies to the 3 month coaching packages: if after the first session with me you don’t feel it will work for you and you let me know within 48 hours, I’ll refund all but your $250 deposit.
3. Forty-eight hours notice is required to re-book a session, otherwise the session will be skipped. Sessions must be re-booked within the same week.
4. All payments are to be made up front via email transfer
