Payment plans are available on a case-by-case basis.
Single session services, such as Oracle Sessions, Manuscript Assessments or Mini-Assessments, must be paid in full before the work begins.
Payments for multi-deadline coaching packages can be paid in full or on a monthly basis, in advance of the work beginning.
Payment can be made via bank transfer (in Canada) or PayPal.
My sweet spot is historical fiction and speculative fiction, including magical realism, witch lit, gothic novels, and myth or fairy tale retellings. I coach in these sub-genres because I love reading them and I understand their tropes, genre expectations, and markets.
If you’re writing outside these genres but feel drawn to work with me, book a Discovery Call and we can chat. If I’m not the right fit, I can often recommend another coach who might be.
Book coaching is deeply personal and requires trust, vulnerability, and compatibility. I won’t take just any client, and you shouldn’t commit to just any coach.
I may be the right fit if:
We’ll start with a free 30-minute Discovery Call to see how we match. Or, for a deeper taste of working together, try a 1-off Oracle consultation (min. 2 sessions per author before a full package).
I believe in the importance of safe, inclusive spaces for all writers, but I connect most deeply with stories by and about women—it’s what I read and what I write. I believe in the transformative power of women supporting women and want to help women writers find their voice and unapologetically take up space. I also bring lived experience navigating challenges common to women in creative work.
Absolutely you can! But if you’re here, I’m guessing it’s because you’ve hit a wall or are hungry for expert guidance or accompaniment. Writing can be a lonely business, but it doesn’t have to be.
Book coaching is about process, not just product—it's an investment in your growth, confidence, and skill as a writer. I can bring clarity to your project, help you develop your craft skills, keep you accountable so that you make consistent progress, offer professional and honest feedback, and cheer you on throughout the long process of conceptualizing, drafting and revising your novel. The benefits of your investment go far beyond one story—they’ll amplify over your entire creative life.
A book coach might be right for you if:
No two writers—or stories—are alike. I'll meet you where you are, refine your goals with you, and create a plan that helps you move forward with clarity and momentum. Find out more about the benefits of working with a book coach here.
Editors are an important player in the publishing world, but they generally offer one-off services toward the end of a project, with limited opportunity for the kind of sustained relationship that can help you grow as a writer and meet your writing goals.
A book coach, on the other hand, is here just for that. We provide honest, professional feedback and always ensure we identify the next best steps. We help writers manage overwhelm, coach them through crises of confidence, and keep them accountable to their goals. It’s a sustained, personalized, and nurturing partnership that meets each writer where they are in whatever ways they need. And it’s as much about process and growth as it is about a finished product.

You could–but AI has its limits.
Industry perspective: Most traditional publishers, including all of the Big Five, currently won’t consider work produced through generative AI because it cannot be copyrighted.
Creative perspective: Storytelling is a vital part of human self-expression and connection. AI can’t create art that captures the human experience in nuanced, new, and creative ways, it can only reconfigure what’s already been done. Only YOU can tell YOUR story in the way you want it to be told, in all its messy, magical, imperfect, human glory. Writing is about more than getting words on the page. It has the power to transform you; it pushes you to grow in ways you never thought possible. But only if you do the work.
Editing: AI is incredibly useful to improve your line-level writing and can even give you a fairly decent idea of what might be working and not working in your manuscript. Where it falls short is providing specifics and generating useful, actionable next steps. Read this fantastic article by author and editor Tiffany Yates Martin about her experience testing AI for editing.
Nope, and you should be wary of anyone who gives any such guarantee. Hard truth: traditional publishing is a fickle, highly competitive industry that is part business and part vibes. It’s the process whereby your art gets commoditized and butts up against the whims of the market and anyone’s best guess about what might sell.
What I can do is guide you to:
Book coaching works best as a sustained, iterative process. It takes time to build trust, understand your story, and track progress. Each session builds on the last to help you grow and achieve your goals.
After the initial 6 deadlines, you can continue on a deadline-to-deadline payment plan.
Not ready to commit just yet? I get it. Start with an Oracle consultation—we’ll tackle a specific story challenge and see what kind of magic we can create. Limit 2 sessions per writer before a full package.
Our work together begins with a free 30-minute Discovery Call so we can get to know each other, talk about your project, and see if we’re the right fit. Coaching is deeply personal work, so finding that match matters.
If we move forward, here’s what coaching looks like:
