Work With Me

I’m a Publishing & Strategy Consultant for Writers.

I offer clarity over chaos. Strategy over stress.

You don’t need to be pushed. You don’t need to be sold to. And you don’t need more noise.

You may be here because you’re standing at a real crossroads with your writing, your publishing plans, or your next steps—and you want a clear, honest conversation before you invest more time, money, or energy.

That’s what these consultations are for.

Who This Is For

This work is for writers who:

  • Are weighing whether to continue, revise, publish, or pause a specific project

  • Are trying to decide between traditional, independent, or hybrid publishing

  • Are overwhelmed by marketing advice and unsure what actually matters

  • Have real responsibilities and limited time, money, or energy

  • Want clarity and perspective rather than motivation or hype  

If what you’re looking for right now is encouragement, accountability, or someone to tell you what to do, this probably isn’t the right fit—and that’s said with care, not judgment.

How I Work

My role isn’t to tell you what to do or to persuade you toward a particular outcome.

 Instead, I help surface:

  •  The real options in front of you

  • The trade-offs and opportunity costs

  • The timing and sequencing issues

  • The emotional and practical weight of each path  

Our conversations are focused, respectful of your time, and contained. There is no expectation to move forward in any particular direction after a session ends.

Ways We Can Work Together

Story & Project Consultation
A one-time clarity conversation

A private, focused conversation centered on a specific story or creative project when you’re unsure how—or whether—to move forward.

Format:

  • 60–90 minute private Google Meet consultation

  • Brief pre-read of agreed-upon material (shared after booking)

  • Verbal reflection and discussion

  • Short written follow-up summary of key points and options

Fee: $350
Payment confirms the appointment and preparation time.

Publishing & Creative Strategy Consultation
Publishing paths, marketing choices, and big-picture decisions

A big-picture conversation about writing, publishing, and marketing decisions, with particular attention to financial reality, opportunity cost, timing, and long-term sustainability.

This is not a launch plan or a step-by-step blueprint. It’s a grounded conversation designed to help you assess whether a particular approach truly supports the life you’re living.

Format:

  • 60–90 minute private Google Meet consultation

  • No manuscript review required

  • Short written follow-up summary of key points and options  

Fee: $400
Payment confirms the appointment and preparation time.

What This Work Is Not

This work is not:

  • Coaching

  • Developmental editing

  • Ghostwriting

  • Ongoing mentorship

  • A publishing course

  • A promise of outcomes or success  

    What I do offer is clarity—before more time, money, or energy is spent.

Begin the Conversation

If you’re considering a consultation, the first step is a short intake form. This helps me understand where you are and whether a conversation would be supportive and appropriate.

Completing the form does not obligate you to book a session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you read my full manuscript?
I review a limited amount of material only when it supports the conversation. This work is about perspective and decision-making, not manuscript evaluation or editing.

Is this coaching or ongoing support?
No. Consultations are one-time, contained conversations. There is no ongoing support unless a new session is intentionally booked.

Will you tell me what to do?
No. My role is to help you see your options clearly, not to make decisions on your behalf.

Can you help me decide whether to publish?
Yes. Many conversations focus on whether publishing—and which path—aligns with a person’s responsibilities, resources, and long-term goals.

Do you guarantee outcomes or success?
No. I don’t offer guarantees or predictions. I offer clarity before further investment is made.

How do I know if this is a fit?
If you value honest perspective, gentle clarity, and space to decide without pressure, this work may be a good fit.
