What I Offer:

• Coffee with an Author

  Sometimes the best thing you can do for your writing is to talk through it with someone who’s been there. Think of these sessions as a (virtual) coffee date with a fellow writer—equal parts encouraging, practical, and honest. Whether you’re feeling stuck, dreaming big, or wondering what comes next, this is your time to ask questions, brainstorm, and leave with a clearer path forward.

  Our conversations are completely tailored to you and may include:

  • Publishing Q&A

  • Conversations about craft

  • Goal setting and accountability

  • Brainstorming plot, character, and story ideas

  • Honest conversations about confidence, discipline, and building a creative life

  • Navigating the publishing journey

  • Whatever questions are keeping you up at night

• Query Critique

  You’ve poured your heart into your manuscript. Now it’s time to introduce it to the world. A great query letter should hook an agent while still sounding like “you.” I’ll provide thoughtful, detailed feedback on your query letter, helping you strengthen your pitch, clarify your story, and present your book with confidence. Perfect for writers preparing to begin the querying process.

• First Fifty Pages Evaluation

  Those first pages matter. Whether you’re preparing to query agents or are simply wondering if your opening works, I’ll take a deep dive into your first fifty pages and provide detailed editorial feedback on your initial chapters so that you walk away with practical next steps and a clear plan for revision.

  I’ll provide helpful feedback on topics such as:

  • Opening hook

  • Character development

  • Point of view

  • World building

  • Pacing

  • Dialogue

  • Scene structure

  • Voice

  • What’s making readers turn the page—and what might be holding them back

• Manuscript Evaluation

  Finished your draft? Congrats—that’s a huge accomplishment!

  A manuscript evaluation is designed for writers who are ready for big-picture feedback before revising, querying, and submitting to agents. I’ll read your full manuscript and provide an in-depth editorial letter discussing your story’s strengths, opportunities for revision, pacing, character arcs, structure, emotional resonance, and overall effectiveness. My goal is not to rewrite your book. Rather, it’s to help you write the strongest version of it.

• One-on-One Book Coaching

  Best for writers looking for ongoing support throughout the writing process.

  Writing a novel isn’t just about words on a page. It’s about staying motivated, making tough creative decisions, pushing through self-doubt, and finishing what you started.

  Book coaching is a collaborative relationship where we’ll (virtually) meet regularly, set goals together, celebrate your progress, troubleshoot challenges, and keep your story moving forward.

  Because sometimes the difference between a finished manuscript and an unfinished one is simply having someone in your corner.
